VoIP Residential
- Introduction
of VoIP residential
The HP Residential Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) solution allows service providers to deliver converged voice, data, and on-demand video services to residential customers over asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL), cable, or Wireless Local Loop (WLL). Services can be delivered over primary or secondary lines. The solution delivers a number of features historically only available on public switched telephone network (PSTN) networks, including local number portability, carrier pre-selection, alternate call routing, legal interception, least-cost routing, calling line presentation/restriction, call barring, white list/black list, and emergency calls.
- The Global Residential VoIP Assessment
Service providers worldwide are finding that with the growth of broadband, VoIP is an efficient and inexpensive way to develop value-added voice services. Cable operators ? particularly those in North America ? are using VoIP for triple play services to challenge incumbent telcos. Broadband and other competitive operators are using VoIP as an add-on to broadband services or as a way to deal with access-network limitations. ABI Research?s report examines the growth of the subscriber base for VoIP across several types of operator networks: cable, DSL, hosted and WiMAX. Additionally, the report examines the revenues generated by these subscribers as well as the CPE market associated with VoIP. The study also explores the relationship between VoIP operators and equipment vendors.
- Australian Residential VoIP Services
According to IDC's recent study "Australian Residential VoIP Services: Calling for More Bandwidth" there were 8,000 paying residential VoIP subscribers in Australia at the end of 2004 and this will grow to almost half a million paying subscribers by the end of 2009. Despite this strong growth, the low residential broadband household penetration in Australia, of 16% at year end 2004, and the popularity of entry-level 256kbbps broadband, will undermine the usage of residential VoIP by Australian consumers. Most residential VoIP providers recommend 512kbps as the minimum bandwidth for satisfactory VoIP service usage, but as of December 2004, 70% of broadband subscribers in Australia had 256kbps speeds.
- Residential VoIP Users Number
Residential users continue to adopt VoIP at a rapid rate, with more than 9 million households using the service at the end of the second quarter, according to a new report from In-Stat. Subscribers using facilities-based VoIP have created a horse race between Vonage and Time Warner Cable users, with Vonage reporting 1.7 million users to Time Warner's 1.6 million. In-Stat says Skype dominates software-based VoIP with 2.1 million active U.S. households using the eBay service. Charles Gerlach, In-Stat's director of consulting, issued the report this week, suggesting that VoIP services are having an impact on traditional landline and cell phone service providers.

- The VoIP Residential Solution
For local service providers around the world, broadband voice has become a legitimate and highly lucrative method of providing voice services to residential subscribers. In order to remain competitive, service providers will have to consistently innovate and provide a wealth of enhanced voice services that give their customers increased control and flexibility in managing their voice services. The lack of a true "killer app" for voice requires service providers to deliver a core group of standard services along with a wide range of niche services that appeal to a wide customer base. With local service providers rolling out broadband, fiber, and wireless access networks to expand the bandwidth and the number of services they can offer their subscribers, service providers need a completely reliable solution that can deliver secure voice services and protect their subscribers from Denial of Service (DoS) and other attacks-while supporting emergency E911 numbers and legal intercept requirements in all local markets.
- Residential VoIP a viable proposition
Like the enterprise IP telephony market, the consumer, or residential VoIP market has definitely changed over the last few years, bringing with it a raft of new challenges and opportunities for vendors, integrators, service providers and their partners. One major issue facing the residential VoIP market is just how to turn users into paying customers. Compared to other telecommunications services, consumer VoIP services have a desperately low ARPU, and many VoIP services are now offered by ISPs, whose major focus is not necessarily on revenue but on customer loyalty.
- VoIP in the Residential
Market
Depending on the authority to which you appeal, voice-over-Internet-Protocol or VoIP will either be the ?killer application? for broadband service providers or it threatens to undermine the entire legacy telephone service model. Perhaps it?s both. Regardless of whom you agree with, one thing is certain: VoIP will soon alter fundamentally the landscape of residential voice services and plans to take a significant share of the $200 billion telephone industry. It should be noted, however, that despite the hype which permeates the voice over IP discussion, the nature of these new services will not be that different from the services consumers now receive from circuit-switched voice service. Yes, virtual PBX services will indeed be possible; but these services are unlikely to drive demand for VoIP.
- The
VoIP Residential line
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services can significantly reduce your monthly charges while adding valuable enhanced features to your phone services at little or no extra charge. For example, you can be assured that your family members and/or business partners can always reach you with the ?follow me? feature. Today, VoIP technology is mature and the services are reliable. Like traditional phone services, VoIP services are based on international standards that ensure parameters for reliability and quality for all calls. 1 If you have a broadband internet connection, Mendax can guide you through the process and have you on-board with VoIP services within days.
- The Managing Residential VoIP Services
Emerging residential Voice over IP services are delivered over cable or DSL broadband access, providing a range of practical management difficulties. VoIP calls may originate from soft clients or residential gateways, and the resulting packet streams may be sent directly between subscribers' homes without passing through the service provider's IP network; this renders conventional methods of performance monitoring and troubleshooting difficult or impossible. VQmon provides an ideal solution for residential VoIP service management. VQmon is integrated directly into soft clients and residential gateways, non-intrusively monitoring calls and reporting call quality and diagnostic data through RTCP XR and SIP.
