Communications Convergence

Whether you are a home-based business or an enterprise customer the wide range of Voice over IP products and services enables you and your customers to take advantage, and unleash the full power of the Internet to transform your current telecommunications network. The main advantage of Voice over IP is the simple fact of it being location-less, i.e. take your extension wherever you go.

With the wide range of providers already available the VoIP marketplace has become a somewhat muddled and murky place. Switchnet Systems range of services and products aims to reduce this confusion by offering a simplistic, yet powerful and flexible solution to the biggest question asked - Can I Save On My Call Charges?

The simple answer to that question is YES! How does it work? Unfortunately that isn't a simple question as the technologies available are as wide as they are diverse, however Switchnet Systems have uncovered some of the simple truths and provided a simple FAQ to this question. We also have designed some simple VoIP related networks , which have been field proven under high call loads.

VoIP Migration

Already have a traditional PBX and want to make the move to VoIP? Vegastream offers the best path for this migration. Using the Vegastream IP Gateways your PBX users don't notice the changes you have made. All the funtionality of the PBX is still available, all that changes is how the calls are routed beyond the PBX. The Vegastream Gateways make these decisions. Include SIP Trunking to take advantage of lower cost calls and get your network ready for a full VoIP Solution by adding a SIP-PBX later on.
