Leveraging The Telecom Transition to IP Communications Infrastructure

• New technologies provide opportunity to offer new revenue-generating application services and provide one stop shopping for all communications needs

• It’s not just about VoIP – it’s about a flexible network architecture that can help you manage the transition from TDM to IP

• IP/PSTN converged platforms can provide shared, standardized components that result in lower equipment costs and lower overall operating expenses

Thank You!
