Course Description:

IP Telephony will be the packet technology of choice for most next-generation service providers and enterprise infrastructure managers. This course provides an overview of IP Telephony and explores how the voice traffic is carried over the IP transport.

It summarizes the major motivating factors driving the industry and clearly describes the various ways in which Voice over IP can be implemented in the consumer, Enterprise, and carrier market segments. It describes the nodes in the Voice over IP architecture, introduces the key signaling protocols and their functional roles, and summarizes the issues associated with delivering real-time data over IP networks. Finally, it presents a description of the emerging standards for service creation and execution environments. This course also covers how Voice over IP calls are handled & VoIP Services. The benefits and challenges of supporting real-time applications such as VoIP over Wireless data networks are explored.

Course Objectives :

• Covers the basic PSTN, Signaling ,SS7 Architecture, IP stack, TCP/IP stacks,
• Multimedia Stacks,SS7 stacks etc.
• Understanding of the VoIP,SIP,MGCP,H323,Basic Protocol stacks.
• Discuss different ways of assessing call quality speech and MOS.
• Understating the integration of VoIP with the Wireless Technology.
• Understating SIP as a part of 3G Specification.
• Explore the perquisite for toll speech quality in VoIP.
• Discuss the benefits that IP Telephony offers to the communications industry and the obstacles it faces.
• Define how IP Telephony works: voice encoding, wireless vocoders, signaling, media
• Transport, internetworking, and network management.
• Examine how voice over the Internet works today.
• Explore the prevalent industry standards: H.323 and SIP, MGCP and Megaco/H.248.
• Explain the VoIP possibilities in cellular networks.
