The transition from the conventional fixed network technology to the new IP (Internet protocol)-based system landscape is a global trend. At the end of 2017, conventional fixed-network telephone communications will be replaced by All IP. All fixed-network services (telephony, TV, mobile telephony and Internet) will then run via IP technology and therefore via the same network. This step will smooth the path into a new era of communications, making it possible to communicate and collaborate with any device at any time and without boundaries.
The changeover to All IP involves certain challenges. Especially when it comes to networking several sites and buildings with several telephone systems.
The following diagram shows you how to make the changeover to All IP as efficient as possible:
All IP stands for “one network for everything”.
The switch to All IP is currently taking place worldwide and means that fixed network phones, TVs, mobile phone communications and the Internet as well as all the services connected with these will communicate from end to end using the Internet Protocol (IP), i.e. a single language.
IP, the package-based Internet Protocol, replaces the previous transfer technology TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) for the fixed network. As a result of this change, the number of technologies used is reduced, which not only makes new services possible but also simplifies and accelerates their introduction and operation.
