VOIP Solution for 6 calls

[ciscokid]

Hi People

I am hoping that you can help me out....

I am fairly new to VOIP - only done a load of troubleshooting converged IP networks for VOIP, never actually implemented a system myself.

I have been contacted to implement a VOIP solution for a company requiring approx 6 lines and making European VOIP calls. They tell me that they have an 8mb broadband connection at the moment.

The Qs I have are...

1. Do you know any out of the box solutions that you could reccomend?

2. Will an 8 mb broadband connection support 6 concurrent calls? (I am guessing no...), if not what sort of bandwidth am I looking at??

3. Do you know any good ISP's that support VOIP?

Many thanks!!

BTW - In terms of bandwith, you will need 40kb per VoIP call. Check on the contention ratio on the broadband connection. Many VoIP providers are now insisting on dedicated broadband connections for VoIP with contention ratio of 5:1 or less. The speed of the broadband connection will have a big impact on the quailty of the voice traffic and the successful implementation of a VoIP solution.

We can provide broadband for VoIP if you need it. Just let us know the postcode and telephone number, if available, and we will let you know what is available, including prices.

Hope this helps

Mike
