asaf_w:
Do not read out these features. Instead transfer the following messages:
1. Maximum bandwidth reduction
2. Legacy services unaffected Maximum reduction of voice transmission costs
No bandwidth consumed when channels are idle
Seamless migration from today’s TDM networks to tomorrow’s IP networks
NO compromise of existing telephony features and NO retraining of staff
Minimizes Initial Investment & Collocation Costs
Vmux Trunking Slide 23
Advantages over standard VoIP Solutions(for trunking applications)
• TDMoIP multiplexing provides higher bandwidth savings (16:1) than any standard VoIP solution
• Full signaling transparency ensuring seamless integration with no retraining costs or lost functionality
• Provides bandwidth reduction even without migrating to IP networks
• Backup between IP and TDM uplinks with the same bandwidth savings
• Single compression cycle end-to-end (Super-Tandem)
• Better bandwidth utilization using modem relay technology
• Supports bandwidth control mechanisms to better cope with situations of bandwidth overflow
Vmux Trunking Slide 24
Bandwidth Considerations
• User configurable parameters:• Voice codec used (between 5.3k & 64k)
• Packet size (tradeoff between bandwidth & delay)
• Packet type (AAL2oMPLS header - smaller than TDMoIP - for TDM networks only)
• Application dependant parameters:• Number of compressed voice channels in a single bundle
(The more channels, the less header overhead)
• Actual silence percentage (typically – 50% in fixed line networks, 35% in cellular networks)
• Easy to use calculator for case-by-case estimation of compression ratio
