DE- C I X N G N L A U N C H E V E N T 4 Introduction to Federations Overview There is an ongoing explosion of multimedia IP communications including IP voice, HD voice, video and UC. IP networks are usually connected via the legacy PSTN which is inefficient, costly and does not support new IP multimedia communication services.
