The V2oIP Quality Alliance invites you to the Voice Quality in an FMC Environment webinar, June 27th at 3:00 PM EDT.
Although new VoIP technology offers cost and feature advantages for both enterprises and consumers, exceptional voice quality is critical for VoIP to ultimately succeed. Experiencing better-than-PSTN voice quality is a reality, but not always simple to deliver. Furthermore, a fixed / mobile converged network adds additional complexity due to mobility, handoffs and new handsets.
- Case study – enterprise and service provider use of voice over WiFi
- Problem isolation – FMC complicates an existing challenge of identifying quality problems
- FMC – potential benefits are compelling yet high voice quality is critical
- Testing and monitoring – how to ensure the quality of FMC sessions before and after deployment
FMC offers the promise of IP combined with the flexibility of mobility. Don’t miss this webinar which examines voice quality issues critical to the ultimate success of VoIP as well as the impact of voice quality on FMC.
