Connect IPx8 is a specialised Audio-over-IP interface to connect your intercom system to IP-based networks. The VOIP-108 G2 Client Card and the Connect IPx8 are Connect IPx8 8-Port Panel Interface designed to transport quality audio with low bandwidth The Connect IPx8 is a 19”/1RU unit which converts eight over digital IP-based networks. Designed for mission- AES or analogue signals into IP data and vice versa. The critical applications like the broadcast industries the device is available in three versions, offering different devices provide several failsafe options, which ensure interface options on the rear of the unit. The CAT5 and audio is available even under extreme circumstances. COAX versions are for connecting panels and other AES signals, while the AIO version is perfect for the connection There are three major applications for the devices: of 4-wires and other analogue sources. The Connect IPx8 • multi-port matrix-to-matrix connections (Trunking) can flawlessly connect up to eight standard Artist 1000, • multi-port matrix-to-control panel connections 2000 or 3000 series control panels with full functionality (Remote panels) to an Artist matrix via an IP-network. • multi-channel distribution of audio lines Easy Configuration VOIP-108 G2 8-Port Matrix Client Card The VOIP-108 G2 client card and the Connect IPx8 The new VOIP-108 G2 card converts eight Artist matrix panel interface can be configured directly in the Director ports into a compressed IP-stream and vice versa.

  • CCIA Comments in ITU CWG-Internet OTT Open Consultation.Pdf
    CCIA Response to the Open Consultation of the ITU Council Working Group on International Internet-related Public Policy Issues (CWG-Internet) on the “Public Policy considerations for OTTs” Summary. The Computer & Communications Industry Association welcomes this opportunity to present the views of the tech sector to the ITU’s Open Consultation of the CWG-Internet on the “Public Policy considerations for OTTs”.1 CCIA acknowledges the ITU’s expertise in the areas of international, technical standards development and spectrum coordination and its ambition to help improve access to ICTs to underserved communities worldwide. We remain supporters of the ITU’s important work within its current mandate and remit; however, we strongly oppose expanding the ITU’s work program to include Internet and content-related issues and Internet-enabled applications that are well beyond its mandate and core competencies. Furthermore, such an expansion would regrettably divert the ITU’s resources away from its globally-recognized core competencies. The Internet is an unparalleled engine of economic growth enabling commerce, social development and freedom of expression. Recent research notes the vast economic and societal benefits from Rich Interaction Applications (RIAs), a term that refers to applications that facilitate “rich interaction” such as photo/video sharing, money transferring, in-app gaming, location sharing, translation, and chat among individuals, groups and enterprises.2 Global GDP has increased US$5.6 trillion for every ten percent increase in the usage of RIAs across 164 countries over 16 years (2000 to 2015).3 However, these economic and societal benefits are at risk if RIAs are subjected to sweeping regulations.

R. ALO and 2 NWEKE HENRY FIRDAY Department of Computer Science Ebonyi State University Abakaliki, Nigeria 1Email:- [email protected] 2Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Voice will remain a fundamental communication media that cuts across people of all walks of life. It is therefore important to make it cheap and affordable. To be reliable and affordable over the common Public Switched Telephone Network, change is therefore inevitable to keep abreast with the global technological change. It is on this basis that this paper tends to critically review this new technology VoIP, x-raying the different types. It further more discusses in detail the VoIP system, VoIP protocols, and a comparison of different VoIP protocols. The compression algorithm used to save network bandwidth in VoIP, advantages of VoIP and problems associated with VoIP implementation were also critically examined. It equally discussed the trend in VoIP security and Quality of Service challenges. It concludes by reiterating the need for a cheap, reliable and affordable means of communication that would not only maximize cost but keep abreast with the global technological change. Keywords: Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), multipoint control unit 1. Introduction Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a technology that makes it possible for users to make telephone calls over the internet or intranet networks.
