Introducing Telenium
IP
Generation Three
Why IP Telephony?
What started out as a technology to provide toll bypass for long distance calls, has now
evolved to an all-encompassing solution for many businesses. IP telephony allows
companies to deploy a converged data/voice network that can provide reduced business
costs. The cost savings materialize in the management and servicing of equipment,
inter-office phone line costs and reduced long distance costs. Enterprises of every size
can now connect multiple facilities using their data network to provide voice applications
in a seamless manner.
IP telephony can provide collaboration tools no traditional system can match. These
tools can be used by employees in the multiple offices to improve efficiency, reduce
missed communication and streamline internal processes.
This document will illustrate the applications and benefits of IP telephony. More
specifically, the document will describe how the

product can address these applications to deliver new benefits to customers.
Convergence Is Here, and It Offers More
In the same way that digital key systems and digital PBXs replaced analog systems, network-
based (IP) telephony systems are replacing digital systems. This replacement is happening more
quickly than the analog-to-digital transition did. At the end of 2004, there were about 6.5 million
VoIP access lines in the United States. The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) has
published projections that the number will grow to nearly 10 million lines by the end of 2005 and
over 20 million by 2008.
Experienced IT managers are realizing that the decision has become not whether they should
deploy IP telephony, but when. The convergence of voice and data communications using IP
Telephony is going to have an ever-larger impact for customers and resellers of communications
systems.
Convergence Helps You to Achieve Your Customers’ Goals
As a solution provider, you strive to offer the best solution for each customer. There is no one-
size-fits-all product in communications. Carrying products with flexible options means being able
to fit your solutions to more than one customer application, more than one selling situation. You
need a solution that offers straightforward installation, flexible architecture, and a variety of ways
for the customer to connect to clients and associates.
