Making IP speak

Today's breaking news

It's loud and clear: Voice over IP offers cost benefits, good sound quality.

Network World, 6/29/98

Would you be surprised to find that the sound quality of voice calls made over the Internet is comparable to that of calls made over the public switched telephone network? That's what we found after working out four voice-over-IP gateways in the lab.

Oki Network Technologies' Internet Voice Gateway got the Blue Ribbon in our test for its easy installation and low prices. You'll find the full test results in our review.

To help you with our own evaluation, the issues and trends story outlines some differentiating features of voice-over-IP gateways, including digital and voice interface configuration, redundancy, compression schemes and standards support. It also has hyperlinks to numerous additional resources on voice over IP, from tutorials to newsletters.

And don't forget to take our quick poll on the right on voice over IP. When you vote, you'll get to see how your plans compare with those of other users (or, if you just want to see the latest poll results, click on the "See results" button). RELATED LINKS
