We make it all connect

Enhancements to VoIP voice quality, reliability, and service offerings have been key drivers creating “buzz” for this technology, allowing it to “cross the chasm” to the mainstream market – consumers and small office users.  Today, all major service providers in Canada, the US,  and many across the globe have announced either actual roll-outs or plans to roll out service to their customers who can slash their overall phone bills by as much as 50%.

End consumers with broadband connections can today purchase a small telephony adapter box that plugs into their home network and connects to a simple “black phone” – and have immediate VoIP service.  Service providers are estimating adoption rates in the tens of millions worldwide at the end of 2005. Such MTAs or “Media Telephony Adapters” are attractive as they preserve investment in legacy phones and allow an end user to take the box with them to receive calls anywhere.

Such adapter boxes require a WAN connection, two RJ-45 connections for a phone and fax, and voice compression technology to allow calls while data is also being transmitted.  In the future, routing and security features will also become necessary.

Kilbride Connectivity's knowledge base in VoIP technology is extensive – making this an ideal area for Kilbride Connectivity to add value.  Watch for exciting new offerings in the future to address these emerging needs.
