IPVC , " IPVoice.com is a developer and producer of unique proprietary state-of-the-art software and hardware solutions for use in IP Telephony. IPVoice.com's premier product is an Internet Gateway named "TrueConnect(tm)", a fully Y2K compliant gateway that allows users to conduct real time, full duplex, high quality, two-way voice and data communication over the Internet. " Skane, IP Telephony will be the new transmisiion protocol for phone calls , the description they give is way off yet. The big mistake in the PR is 'real time' IP ,by definition, is anything but real time. Full Duplex (digital), by definition, needs a 4 wire circuit so you would need 2 'net access's at each end. High quality I think not. The #1 test is, does the the company use IP for incoming business calls? There is a new 'net being built right now and is purely fibre optic and will allow the priority feature needed to allow voice/fax calls to have precedence ( this will give close to real time and quality as possible) . I witnessed a test a few weeks ago on a private IP network owned by a large national company and it was ok for internal type calls ,especially LD bypass , but for incoming business calls - not a chance. Also things won't improve until the big Telco's throw huge $ at the project ,which will not be for few years yet as they have just spent $3 billion on TDM . scouser
