VoIP - voice over IP technology is already being adopted by
some countries; however, its implementation in Brazil is still
subject to regulations establishing guidelines on charges
and defining which providers may explore the service. It is
the green light that solutions suppliers are anxiously waiting
to set their foot on their business transactions.
One of the main distinguished attractions at TELEXPO'99 -
International Fair and Congress in Telecommunications,
Networks and Corporate Internet, organized by Advanstar
Brasil, at the Expo Center Norte, in Sao Paulo, is the
dissemination in large scale of VoIP technology, which is
considered an irreversible process. Its main advantage
consists on using Internet backbone for telephone calls at
the cost of local calls, even on long distance calls.
Companies operating in this area are betting on the growth
potential of the Brazilian market. It is the case, for example,
of Hypercom, releasing its line of Gateways IP.TEL 6000 at
TELEXPO, a solution developed to allow the implementation
of IP Telephony. The solution offers 960 voice channels,
allowing two-way communication with quality of service
(QoS) and cryptography resources, which assures the
integrity of messages sent through the world net.
"We developed a complete solution of IP Telephony to
satisfy traditional telecommunication operators, new carriers
that are just emerging and also, Internet service providers,"
remarked Paul Wallner, president at Hypercom. According
to him, the line of Gateway IPTEL 6000 represents 40% of
the company's invoicing in the United States. In Brazil, the
company is anticipating to invoice US$ 10 million in the first
year of marketing the product.
Motorola, one of the major suppliers of integrated
communications solutions, promoted several
demonstrations during the Fair, regarding the
implementation not only of VoIP, but Voice over Frame
Relay (VoFR) and PC- telephone connections in H.323
standard. Whoever visited their stand could attest to the
quality of communication.
Using a high capacity concentrator, Motorola created a
direct link with the Frame Relay cloud of GlobalOne,
situated on the central region of Sao Paulo to perform the
demonstrations. "The user does not even perceive if he is
using VoIP or VoFR, or if he is making the connection
between a PC and a telephone on the two-way connection.
However, he knows that the quality is much superior than
through a conventional telephone," says Denoel Eller, group
director of Internet and Network for Motorola.
Vanguard switch from the 85000 family is the concentrator
used for the demonstrations, one of Motorola's release at
the fair, which supports up to 1000 voice doors and works
from any network backbone. This new line was developed to
satisfy the corporate market growing demand for end-to-end
solutions.
Cisco is also demonstrating their VoIP and IP/TV solutions,
together with their partners attending TELEXPO, such as
Integris, Telsinc and Uniao Digital. Cisco 2600, is the
product being exhibited by the company to implement this
technology, which allows for integrated voice, data and
image traffic.
