Converged Communications - HP ProCurve 2520-24-PoE Supplementary Manual

Converged communications

Considering implementing IP phones, wireless access points, or video cameras? You'll need a convergence
solution that allows you to transmit voice, video, and data on the same network—that means choosing smarter
switches with a slightly more robust feature set.
Scenario:
The network requirements are increasing for your
growing business—you want to integrate more things
onto one converged network. You have customer-
facing needs such as integrated point of sale and
wireless scanners. In the back office you need desktop
computers, wireless laptop computers, printers, and
digital inventory control. And there's building access
control, security cameras, and Voice over IP telephony.
Can your current network handle the load?
