Tired of bluster and confusion in the hosted IP telephony marketplace, Reality Telecom has produced a simple guide to broadband for businesses making the move the IP telephony. The guide, “A Guide to Broadband for Businesses Implementing Voice Over IP”, helps businesses to understand the key role of broadband in hosted IP telephony and how to ensure that the broadband used, whether existing or offered by the hosted telephony supplier, is adequate.

“Although every business needs to trim costs, the real joy of IP telephony isn’t cheap calls, but the things it can let you do as a business,” said Simon Slater Thomas, CEO, Reality Telecom. “Yet if the broadband underlying any IP telephony service is poor, you are gambling with the quality of your calls which may negate the amazing freedom that IP telephony can engender. This guide aims to arm businesses with the information to make an informed choice about the broadband they use to underpin their IP telephony.”

The guide offers clearly presented advice on the questions to ask suppliers, and on how to calculate broadband requirements to ensure that a hosted IP telephony service isn’t a poor relation to a standard (TDM) phone line.

It can be obtained by calling (freephone) 0800 0336 100, or downloaded from the Call Navigator IP™ website: www.callnavigatorip.co.uk/broadband.
