Building the VoIP Central Office
The concept of a central office in some ways no longer applies since the customer can be independent of any location. But the elements that were in a central office are still required when it comes to call control, managing the traffic between VoIP and the PSTN, managing the media on a VoIP network, and enabling features with application servers. This workshop is for telecom engineers and explores, from A-Z, the build out of the VoIP Central Office in the following 4 key areas:- Call Control
- Media Gateways
- Supporting Interactive Media
- Application Servers
