 ACCESS TRENDS
The Advantages of an End-to-End VoIP Access System
by Oded Tubias, VoIP Product Line Manager, RAD Data Communications
 The
demand for VoIP solutions has skyrocketed primarily as a result
of the two powerful forces of unbundling and deregulation, which
have opened up the telephony market for competition. Once liberalized,
the market expanded due to the demand for the deployment of broadband
services to homes and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Number portability - subscribers owning their phone numbers and
taking them with them when they re-locate - responds perfectly to
the needs of SMEs, which tend to move to progressively larger premises
as they grow and fear the confusion that a change in telephone numbers
would create for them and their clients. This, in turn, has stimulated
the rapid growth of VoIP services. Full
