Considerations for a Government VoIP Network

Added by Papergrl

Description: While government agencies are not driven by revenue and competition, they are interested in data and voice convergence for real cost reductions as well as supporting enhanced functionality for end users. Convergence allows for only one network to run both voice and data networks, removing the burden of having two separate networks. In addition, converged networks may provide enhanced services such as integrated multimedia messaging including voice, video, email, and fax. But introducing convergence into government networks is not the same as in a carrier network. Strong reliance on satellite links and the support of secure voice are two examples of these differences.
