i2004 Internet Telephone - Introduction

Internet Protocol (IP) telephony is the next generation of telecommunication

services that integrates voice and data capabilities to enhance everyday

communications and increase productivity. IP telephony takes advantage of new

high-bandwidth central office technologies to provide any service, anywhere, at

anytime – instantly.

IP telephony brings the power of your desktop computer to your telephone set

and brings dial tone to your personal computer.

Nortel Networks has developed the i2004 Internet Telephone to work on your

corporate local area network (LAN) to deliver voice over IP (VoIP) services. The

i2004 Internet Telephone works in concert with your existing Centrex- or PBX-

based telephone system. (See Figure 1.)

The i2004 Internet Telephone and the Terminal Proxy Server software are built

on H.323 standards established by the International Telecommunications Union

for multimedia communications over packet-based networks such as a corporate

LAN. This means your phone will work in harmony with other IP-based software

and hardware.

The design of the i2004 Internet Telephone includes one-button access to

features like speakerphone, directory, and voicemail and supports the unique

requirements of various users. Additional features and functionality of the i2004

Internet Telephone include its display screen, softkeys, and multiple line

appearances.
