"We are in the midst of a VoIP communications revolution"
Concordia has installed 4,100 IP phones and expects to reach 5,000 IP phones within two years, up from the 3,800 analogue phones and faxes the university had.
"A lot of work and expense goes into upgrading the network, but we can see the return in 20 months," Mr. McAusland says. "What we are saving on the cost of phone lines is paying for the project itself."
Each analogue phone had its own line, complete with a $150-per-month charge. Now, he says, the university has only "500 lines that feed out to analogue world." The university also no longer pays $250 to move a phone line: IP phones can be plugged in almost anywhere on campus without moving lines or changing extensions. Portable computers can be set up to access the network with soft phone software and a headset. Full article.
