IP telephony advantages
The IP revolution is happening now !
You may not be aware, but most communication is being revolutionized at this very moment. Like MP3 music, all media is becoming computer data.
IP telephony is doing the same for your communication, and ESCAUX is leading the way.
The way IP telephony works gives you more flexibility to deploy telephony the way YOU want it:
one network does it all
Before the IP revolution, you needed multiple networks: a computer network, your phone wiring, yet other ones for the alarm system or security cameras. Three or more sets of cabling were not uncommon. With IP telephony, you don't need a separate phone cable network anymore: you can reuse the existing computer infrastructure. This means less cost to maintain your phone system, and a more efficient ICT team.
Future proof
IP telephony is based on the standard Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). SIP is a standard maintained by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which means it will be around for several decades to come. It is also included in the 3GPP standards for mobile telephony, so your mobile phones will interoperate seamlessly in the future. ESCAUX is also leading the way here !

reduced telephony costs
IP telephony works over computer networks and the Internet, and this means you will be able to reduce your phone costs. With ESCAUX, you have full control over what happens to your calls, so you can route them to the cheapest available connection possible.
Examples include:
- when calling to a mobile phone, route the call to a SIM-box to reduce the call costs
- free calls between sites, even internationally !
- optimize your international calling: route calls to another country to the location with the cheapest international rate
