You have probably heard of Cisco. They are a leading manufacturer of VoIP products. As VoIP technology becomes more popular, the VoIP industry expands. We can now find many other manufacturers that provide VoIP solutions. Avaya has stepped up and made a big name for itself in the VoIP market. As we take a look at some of the VoIP products they offer, we find out what Avaya brings to the table in this VoIP review.

With tens of thousands of employees, Avaya is not a small company by any means. If you haven’t heard of them, get to know them because as VoIP continues to gain momentum, so will they. Since emerging from Lucent Technologies nearly a decade ago, their headquarters remain in the U.S. although many of their products are made and sold outside the U.S.

While Avaya offers many different products, their VoIP telecommunications equipment has become a big ticket item. The Avaya/Lucent 6408D+ Digital VoIP Phone is a popular model because it has the ability to send and receive VoIP calls while remaining affordable to the average customer. Used Avaya phones (such as this particular model) can be found selling in equal2new condition with a lifetime warranty for under $200. While sporting most of the ordinary call features that standard phones offer, the 6408D+ has 8 programmable call feature buttons. You can page an entire group of people from this phone so messages can be heard by everyone at the same time. The user can route a second call through while remaining on the first call. The built-in 2 way speakerphone provides hands free calling capabilities. The LCD screen makes it easy to identify incoming and outgoing caller information. Other soft keys provide access to more calling features. For just over $200 you can upgrade to the Avaya/Lucent 8401D Digital VoIP phone which provides a few more technology features and programmable options.

While offering simple VoIP handsets, Avaya also offers state of the art technology to meet the growing demands of enterprise class businesses.

Avaya offers the server in two configurations which alters the distance two of the servers can be placed away from each other as well as how many on peak calls they can handle.

VoIP Review – Worldwide

January 21, 2009 VoIP Review, VoIP Wordwide No comments

When the technology of VoIP was created and started to be used, it was in the United States, Canada and the European territories. The Voip market has grown well beyond the areas of those countries. As a matter of fact the Asian VoIP market is becoming the biggest growing VoIP market around the world. The estimate of revenue in the Asian VoIP market is expected to reach $10 billion in 2009, which is nearly double compared to the $5.5 billion that was reported in 2004. This voip review will focus on the worldwide market.

Most Asian VoIP users utilize the broadband-based phone system to make international calls, which is said to be a major development in the VoIP market in Asia. Currently, there are approximately 8.7 million existing VoIP lines in use in Asia.

Most of the VoIP user in Asia come from China, A country that is estimated to have more than one billion regular telephone users and over 200 million internet users by the year 2010. China is also expected to have as many as 400 million mobile users by 2010. It’s believed that these statistics will most likely decline because of the popularity of VoIP technology that was apparent in the United States and Europe, will also happen even more so in China and the rest of Asia. Market analyst believe that the billion telephone users in China will drop by as much as 40%, based on projections of VoIP market shares increase in Asia.

More than a quarter of the earnings in 2007 from the VoIP market was spent on internet protocol exchanges to open more VoIP lines for Chinese users. The projected revenues of Chinese VoIP market is expected to hit at $7.8 million in 2010, if the subscription in VoIP usage will increase within the projected percentage increase of 13.5 percent annually. Which at the way it’s been going already, that estimate is quite modest.

The Asian VoIP market, particularly the Chinese market share, is expected to be as huge as the United States and European VoIP market by 2010. However, the projection will depend on how China and other Asian nations will react on the VoIP communication system. If they learn the benefits of VoIP, the statistics will materialize, and China will go on the VoIP way.
