3 What is VoIP? Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a method for taking analog audio signals like the kind you hear when you talk on the phone and turning them into digital data that can be transmitted over any digital network, such as a LAN, WAN or the Internet. With this revolutionary technology, voice traffic can travel over the same network as your data. V IP LEARNING CENTER To learn more about VoIP and how it is changing business communications, visit our Online Learning Center at Medical Supply Company With five offices in the New York metro area, managing voice and data needs as well as multiple vendors was a challenge. For efficiency, XOptions Flex combined user groups across company locations into one unified private dial plan. The unlimited local and generous longdistance and toll-free calling also cut costs when dealing with vendors and customers outside the local calling area.

4 Give yourself some flexibility. XOptions Flex is available as digital trunks, ISDN-PRI or analog business lines. It s compatible with existing analog phones, hybrid key system or PBXs so there s no equipment to purchase. And depending on your package, you can add up to 32 phone lines. Unlike traditional phone and data systems with fixed capacities, XOptions Flex automatically adjusts to heavy data demands by permitting full use of the IP circuit to support increased data traffic when voice lines are idle. It s called Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation and allows you to meet fluctuating data capacity needs. However, voice traffic always has priority.

5 Dynamic Bandwidth Traditional phone and data services require you to have separate circuits for voice and data, or to allocate fixed bandwidth, or channels to one service or the other. XOptions Flex allows you to utilize a single circuit for both voice and data, while it continuously adjusts the bandwidth allocated to voice or data. This real-time dynamic bandwidth allocation gives priority to voice traffic, but makes additional data bandwidth Voice capacity available when your phone lines are not in use. Data Voice Data Voice Data Traditional Services Dedicated Voice and Data Channels No capacity Voice flexibility as demand fluctuates Data XOptions Flex Capacity continuously adjusts to ongoing demand fluctuations Voice traffic always has priority Architecture Firm With only 10 employees, but a steadily growing client list, data bandwidth was at a premium when sending architectural files. With the high-speed option of 3Mbps of data, XOptions Flex alleviated the need to send files at the end of the day when most employees were off the phone and on their way home. Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation allows XOptions Flex to adjust to heavy data demands, thus reducing the time needed to exchange critical files and helping eliminate the need to purchase additional bandwidth.
