TCP/IP - VoIP business

(5 dagar)

VoIP business

VoIP, Voice over IP has become very popular but few really understand how to make it in practise life and even less success stories. This class material and content is based on our knowledge and experience of building large VoIP network, and make is success story.

Learning by doing

This class is supposed for systems integrator/network technicians who will learn how IP-based telephony works into the deep, as well as business aspects for companies intended to set-up VoIP. This is done by mixing theory with practise in all steps. The class is balanced almost 50/50 when it comes to theory and practise.

Class focus

The focus is on how to construct and set-up the infrastructure with gatekeepers and gateways, and install end users equipment in various environments behind firewalls and dhcp/nat-routers. Also we look on how to build and provide IP telephony with wireless network environments like 802.11abg.

Migrating telecon and datacom

We learn how classical telephony systems such as POTS and GSM can be integrated/interconnected and how to add various services to gain extra functionality like IVR and also video and hi-fi radio.

After the class students will be able to:

  • Understand POTS basic functions
  • Understand H.323 basic functions
  • Understand SIP basic functions
  • Understand codecs for VoIP
  • Callback system basics with SMS and gsm-gateways/hosting
  • Maintain security of VoIP implementations
  • Building IP-tunnels for VoIP
  • Soft Switch “ Open H.323” gnugk slave/proxy, master, leaf and neighbour set-up
  • Billing system functions , adding/removing subscribers and issue prepayed cards
  • VoIP routing and terminating set-ups
  • Deep insight in how to set-up IP telephony in end user environments
  • Handle portforwarding in firewalls and NAPT/NAT in most broadband routers
  • Cable modem configuration and function
  • Setup Wireless VoIP Network with 802.11abg SA/AP for VoIP
  • Howto migrate Telekom and Datacom
  • Business ideas and concepts

Knowledge needed to attend this class

Participants must have experience of working with computers as advanced user and basic knowledge of datacom and telecom. Also basic knowledge of TCP/IP is necessary. Special introductions class will be held in front of this class if necessary.

Planning

The entire class is one week full time 09.00 to 16.45. Days are divided by lunch, before lunch we study theory and after lunch we practise with exercises and labs. There are after class doings for the one who like.

Books and class material

We have our own class material which consists of a study folder which contains most, in addition to this we also have a book IP Telephony with H.323 ISBN: 0471393436 John Wiley & Sons Inc

(Internet Communications Using SIP ISBN: 0471413992 John Wiley & Sons Inc ). In addition to the books we also have a lab with various IP phones and routers as well wireless equipment and PC's.
