Show of Hands?

• Heard of ?

• Made a call over 3G? – Was it a good experience?

• Made a call over Wi-Fi?– Was it a good experience?


Why Call-via-work is good for you!

• Lync is enterprise technology (not Skype) and the expectation is for a consistent good quality experience– Private Wi-Fi or WAPs that support VoIP QoS

are often cost prohibitive and potentially outweigh the benefit of PSTN

– public Wi-Fi is often unavailable and over-subscribed

– 3G is equally, if not more so, unreliable and often more expressive than PSTN

• Voice (and video) over IP for mobile will undoubtedly become a standard in the near future, but not without improvements to public network infrastructure

VoIP? PSTN?
