Deployments of voice over IP (VoIP) networks continue at a rapid pace. Voice gateways are an essential part of VoIP networks, handling the many tasks involved in translating between transmission formats and protocols and acting as the interface between an IP telephony network and the PSTN or PBX. Gatekeepers and IP-to-IP gateways help these...
A systematic approach to understanding the basics of Voice over IP
* Understand the basics of PSTN services and IP signaling protocols, including SS7 * Learn how VoIP can run the same applications as the existing telephony system, but in a more cost-efficient and scalable manner * Delve into such VoIP topics as jitter,...
Building on solid state device and electromagnetic contributions to the series, this text book introduces modern power electronics, that is the application of semiconductor devices to the control and conversion of electrical power. The increased availability of solid state power switches has created a very rapid expansion in applications, from the...
