be done as quickly as 3 hours, if you already have the necessary
equipment.
What type of equipment does Crosby VoIP require?
Crosby VoIP require a H.323 compatible device such as a Cisco
3600 or a 5300 series router, a minimum 256Kbps dedicated Internet
connection, a voice card on a dedicated port, and a modern/compatible
PBX or for a simple.
Do both sides of a call need VoIP in order to make a call?
Absolutely not. VoIP is "transparent." Once in place, you don't
need to do anything other than place and receive calls, just as you
regularly do.
Will Crosby VoIP have the same sounds quality as a "normal" phone line?
Yes, if not better! Crosby, as a telecommunications company, already
has experience as a long-distance carrier. Our VoIP network is built
over Crosby' global network- thus offering Crosby the cost effective
option of terminating a call to the PSTN network. In many ways a VoIP
call is traveling over the most redundant network known to man: the
Internet. Crosby owns and operates an extensive global backbone
network including 23 international and domestic gateway switches
located throughout Europe, the America and the Asia Pacific regions.
This network is supported by ownership in over 35 transoceanic fiber
optic cable systems providing connectivity of Crosby' global
network to over 250 countries worldwide. A call on the Crosby
VoIP call avoids multiples hops based on our centralized
routing and peering relationships. Crosby routes and monitors a
VoIP call in the same fashion a regular voice call is routed.
The call has multiple termination options that are selected
based on quality.
Is a phone call made over a VoIP network secure?
Yes. While sent over the VoIP network, all packets are sent
securely.
How stable is VoIP technology?
Very. It is based on the Internet Protocol, a proven, global
standard.
Will my company need any special phone equipment for Crosby' VoIP solution?
With Crosby' VoIP offering, our customers can use their current
phones and equipment. There is no need to purchase special phones.
Where is Crosby VoIP available?
Crosby is able to deliver VoIP service worldwide, anywhere there
is an internet connection that supports the traffic. Whether your
business is located in the UK or internationally, we can deliver.
However, it is the customer's responsibility to comply with their
country's regulatory laws.
