Definition

• IP Telephony– Transmission of voice, fax, and related services

over packet-switched IP- based networks.• Internet Telephony

– Specific sub-set of IP Telephony in which the principal transmission network is the public Internet.

– Voice-over-the-Net (VoN); Internet Phone; Net Telephony.

Definition

• Voice-over-IP (VoIP)– Specific sub-set of IP Telephony in which the

principal transmission network(s) is (are) private, managed IP-based network(s).

– Voice-over-DSL (VoDSL)

IP Telephony

Instead of using traditional circuit switch systems for voice communications, IP Telephony uses a packet protocol originally designed for data communications

How Your Voice Becomes A Packet

• Voice Encoding : Analog to Digital• The Nyquist Theorem• Quantization and Quantization Techniques• Compressing Voice

- compression Techniques

- CODECs

How to Turn Voice Into Bits

The 4 Step Recipe :

1. Take Many Sample Of The Analog Signal

2. Calculate A number Representing Each Sample (quantization )

3. Convert The Number To Binary

4. (Optional) compression

The Nyquist Theorem

• A tribute to Dr Nyquist

o The Nyquist Theorem :

“ if you sample a signal in regular intervals at least twice the highest Channel frequency the samples will contain enough information to accurately reconstruct the signal”

The Nyquist Theorem

o Some Important Frequencies :

The Human Ear : 20-20,000 Hz

Human speech : 200- 9,000 Hz

Telephone Channels : 300- 3, 400 Hz

Nyquist Theorem : 300- 4,000 Hz

Quantization Techniques

o Waveform Algorithms ( Encode everything )

- PCM

- AD PCM

o Source Algorithms ( Encode changes )

- CS- ACELP

- LDCELP

CODECs

• Waveform CODECs

- G.711 Uses PCM coding and chomps up 64 kbps

- G.726 Used AD PCM Coding and eats 32 kbps

… or 24 kbps

… or 16 kbps

IP Telephony Signaling Protocols: H.323

Describes terminals and other entities that provide multimedia communications services over Packet Based Networks (PBN) which may not provide a guaranteed Quality of Service.

Final Thoughts

• One approach, which is hotly debated in the VoIP market, is to rip out your old PBX, phones and wiring and replace everything with IP phones. That might work in some cases, particularly where the old PBX is long past its expiration date, but it isn't always the best approach.

• Consider deploying IP Telephony based on a Phased Approach

• Understand the benefits that the technology offers, not just the costs

• Have a Plan
