Rural VoIP Telephony

Rural VoIP Telephony - Market Requirements

As carriers continue to adopt VoIP, telephony access networks are converging to support both voice and data services. Many operators already deploy VoIP at the core of their network in order to transmit voice traffic over long-distances, while seeking to integrate VoIP at the access side.

A special case where VoIP is a major service enabler is in rural areas. In large countries, Telecom services in rural areas used to be dependent on cabling infrastructure. Today, satellite technologies allow carriers to provide easier coverage to rural areas, by using VoIP, to enable a single, IP-based, cost-effective satellite receiver to supply voice and data services.
