Overview
This new book approaches the combination of voice, video, and data within the new communications paradigm of IP Convergence and examines how these different types of communication will be delivered to any environment from LAN to WAN at much less cost and complexity than either ISDN and ATM.

Synopsis
This new book approaches the combination of voice, video, and data within the new communications paradigm of IP Convergence and examines how these different types of communication will be delivered to any environment from LAN to WAN at much less cost and complexity than either ISDN and ATM.
Featuring references to important IP Convergence-related websites throughout, this fast-paced, easy-to-read book provides you with comprehensive information on the technologies that will make convergence possible, and it examines the benefits, applications, vendor approaches, migration strategies, and regulatory issues that will affect this new technology. Plus, this book offers complete coverage of how IP Convergence will affect LAN and WAN networks, and how you communicate at home and in the office.
With this book you learn why implementation of full convergence can happen only when a host of major issues are addressed, including how to place Internet calls to conventional telephones in existing networks and infrastructure improvement for Local Loop Enhancement and management of Internet Call Centers.
An indispensable resource for LAN and WAN designers and managers seeking to build, upgrade, or expand corporate networks, IP Convergence: The Next Revolution in Telecommunications is also a valuable tool for network engineers and vendors of interconnectivity devices.

Examines the new communications paradigm of internet protocol (IP) convergence, which reduces voice, video, and data communications to a single packet stream. The author deals with both the technologies required, and the benefits, applications, vendor approaches, and regulatory issues that will shape the paradigm. The book is not an exhaustive overview of every product and service that has implications for voice-data convergence, but instead focuses on mainstream topics that are relevant now for corporate network users to be prepared for these issues as they arise.
