Enterprise Unified Communications

Session Initiation Protocol, known by its acronym, SIP, is the standard protocol used by VoIP. SIP data is sent from user to server, server to server, and user to user to provide the encapsulated voice, audio, and data packets to establish these modes of communication.

Wireless SIP (WiSIP), when developed and released in full force, will change the way we communicate completely, which has left traditional telephony companies exposed. In the future, firms will likely use a WiSIP enabled device to provide broadband global wireless VoIP calls a cost that is next to nothing.

With WiSIP you do not need a specific carrier to place a call and you can use a WiSIP enabled device and with a WiFi connection to place VoIP calls. What will make this technology globally available will be WiMax or other broad-spectrum WiFi providers. A WiMax transmitter can provide WiFi Internet connectivity in an extremely long range.

Microsoft began its development of its Unified Communications platform based on this language, and the purpose of this whitepaper is to explain why a joint Microsoft and Nortel Unified Communications solution is the preferred Unified Communications solution in the marketplace. This document will provide an overview of the solution as well as include information in the form of feedback and experience working with the solution hands-on.
