Axtan proposes to develop a low cost Network Termination Point (NTP) that will facilitatehigh quality and highly resilient transmission of voice over low cost public broadbandnetworks using VoIP. This unit will accommodate two diversely provided broadband links(initially ADSL) and will communicate with central servers to detect any degradation inquality or availability of the primary link and switch call signalling to the alternative path inreal time. Media will be continuously transmitted over both low cost links to provide astatistically significant increase in audio quality. The technology provides an integratedsystem which delivers the solution and provides a level of service quality,availability, andresilience previously unavailable to IP telephony users at a cost affordable to SMEs. Uniquelyit will provide an enhanced level of security against attacks on an SMEs voice system, such asdenial of service attacks, as an inherent feature. Costs of these services will be significantlylower to Telecommunications Service Providers than traditional services such as ISDN. Thiscombined with the superiority of the offering will open up the use of new business efficiencyapplications to SMEs which will increase their competitiveness and lower operational costs.This new technology advance will also support new applications in the remote monitoring,access control and video monitoring sectors.In summary it will benefit SMEs by:Reducing the costs of strategic voice communicationsEnhancing its quality, reliability and securityEnable/encourage the adoption of business efficiency using convergerged voice & dataapplications.Enable secure home/remote workingIt will benefit Telecommunications Service providers by:Allowing them to manage their networks to the end user premisesImproved network quality, resilience and securityFewer end user complaintsLower costs of customer serviceImproved ability to market Service StandardsNew revenue opportunities
