Hi Tracy,

Welcome to the forum.

Rolling out a VoIP solution in a university isn't something I have done before... however, I'm sure I can help you get started.

You mention that you wish to deploy a VoIP solution in two phases. Phase one being your office phones, what is phase two?

How many users/extensions are you looking to role out in phase one, and phase two?

More importantly, do you have any existing statistics for the average number of concurrent calls @ peak times, and how with this vary for each group you are rolling out.

There are literally thousands of configurations you could end up with, but basic info like this should get us started.

I would imagine you will need an onsite VoIP PBX server(s), and some trunks to pump calls out over various telcos. If a hosted soultion was able to support you, my guess is you would out grow it rather sharpish.

While we start, what connectivity is currently available to your University (this probably isn't going to be an issue, but we need to check).

Matt
