Services - VoIP

The world of traditional telephony, PSTN (public switched telephony network) is changing rapidly. Voice traffic, once the sole constituency of expensive private circuits, is now quickly being moved to cheaper more widely available networks based on the Internet protocols TCP/IP.

Despite the hype, the telephony world is still heavily reliant on the older tried and trusted PSTN technology. The large national carriers, such BT in the UK, have announced a planned migration to ‘Next Generation Networking’ which seeks to replace the PSTN network completely with IP compliant equipment. These NGNs will offer much greater integration and full convergence of voice, data and video services.

In the meantime, businesses and their service providers must ensure that new investment in telecommunications make best use of the emerging technology whilst retaining full compatibility with the existing network infrastructure, and just as importantly, with the NGNs when they finally arrive. Syntec have invested heavily in PSTN and TCP/IP infrastructure and have sound, practical experience of merging these very different technologies. Customers who purchase their VoIP connectivity from Syntec can be assured that they will continue to enjoy full functionality regardless of the method the large carriers choose to deliver their ‘dial-tone’ services.

If you are a business or a service provider looking for products and services in this increasingly complex sector then you should speak to Syntec first. Even if in the unlikely event that we cannot help ourselves we can point you in the right direction and save you time and money and avoid many of the pitfalls that await the unwary in the rapidly changing world of telecommunications.
