It is a complex process that usually includes configuring a private circuit (MPLS), Quality of Service (QoS) and monitoring tools for all applications in every business location.

Is A Deskphone Necessary Hardware When The Entire Telephony System Is Migrating To The Cloud?

One of the benefits of cloud unified communications is the elimination of hardware and the associated costs. That means no server, no switches and often no PBX. Several years ago, it would have been hard to imagine a classic office environment without desk phones.

Why a Session Border Controller Is So Important for SIP Trunking With Mitel (ShoreTel)... 

The Session Border Controller (SBC) is an important part of the VOIP implementation and is a must have for Mitel (ShoreTel) solutions. It enhances the connectivity and works as a security device.

Below we explain how an SBC device solves these issues.

How to Prepare Your Network for a New VOIP System
