Definition

Voice over Internet Protocal or VoIP is a term used in IP telephony for a set of facilities that use the Internet Protocol (IP) to deliver voice information. In general, this means sending voice information in digital form in discrete packets, rather than in the traditional circuit-committed protocols of the public switched telephone network (PSTN).



Consider Adding IP Telephony to your iSeries or System i Installation

Dear Visitor,

On behalf of the telephony specialists at Key and our telephony partners IBM and 3Com, welcome to our VoIP Solution Center.

Here, we’ve gathered the most recent information on Voice over Internet Protocol for your iSeries or System i network server. Key has partnered with IBM and 3Com to offer their joint VoIP solution for midrange users.

The IBM-3Com IP Telephony solution is for organizations wishing to take control of their telephony functions and manage them on an IBM server.

Key was the IBM Business Partner involved in the first U.S. installation of the joint IBM-3Com telephony solution at the Fashion Institute for Design and Merchandising (FIDM) and gained great experience in the process.

You can read our white paper and FIDM case study, articles on telephony authored by Key’s Terry Boulais. View Key’s webinars on the topic. Find out what others have to say about this significant and growing IT solution area.

We hope the information here will be of assistance in assessing the option to implement IP Telephony in your organization.

Cordially,

Pete Elliot
Director of Marketing
