Business VoIP

NeoPhonetics (News - Alert) has reportedly launched its Network Assessment Tool that enables any company considering a data VoIP solution to determine whether their cabling, switching and routers, and network bandwidth are VoIP-compatible within minutes.

 

According to Chad Agate, CEO of NeoPhonetics, the company discovered the need for this tool through numerous conversations with their customers.

 

“Instead of verbally administrating the Network Assessment Tool, both current and potential customers can now simply go to our Web site and answer the questions in just three minutes,” said Agate in a statement to the press.

 

“Through this streamlined process, not only do customers save time, but we can ensure a high-quality NeoPhonetics VoIP solution for every customer,” he added.

 

Developed with non-technical users in mind, the Network Assessment Tool is an educational tool that helps businesses determine whether their networks are ready for data VoIP.

 

The tool assesses compatibility requirements by answering a few simple questions online.

According to NepPhonetics, the compatibility requirements include having 80 kilobits of available bandwidth for every concurrent phone call, category 5 cabling or better to every VoIP telephone and network switches that are Power Over Ethernet, Virtual Local Area Network and Quality of Service capable and configured.

 

NeoPhonetics can provide a full, tailored Network Readiness Assessment if a business use the tool and determine it would like to pursue an enterprise-grade VoIP system.

 

Agate also commented on his belief that the Network Assessment Tool is a network readiness screening tool in many ways.

 

“In the way that doctors screen to determine if more tests are necessary, this tool can be used to determine if a business' network is clearly ready for VoIP already or if further evaluation is needed,” he concluded.
