  6. Current Trends in IP Networks

  7. HD - Voice • Advantages: • Clearer overall sound quality • Easier to recognize voices • Ease of deciphering words that have similar sounds. • Ability to hear faint talkers and to understand double-talk • Reduced listening effort, increased productivity and lessened listener fatigue • Easier comprehension, overcomes speakerphone or background noise • Comparison to HD-TV? Possible driver for all-IP adoption

  8. VoIP & TTY • TTY implementation can present challenges, especially from “hybrid” networks • Packet loss need not be a problem in properly engineered and implemented IP networks • All IP-Network Could accommodate enhanced accessibility functionality

  9. Burglar Alarms • Key Standard: Security Industry Association (SIA) –ANSI/SI • Has relied on the PSTN, but VoIP is driving the adoption of broadband signaling for alarm reporting. • Most IP Alarm transmission protocols have been proprietary.. • In 2007, US alarm manufacturers developed an open standard called DC-09. • This standard has been accepted as an American National Standard, and is published as ANSI/SIA DC-09-2007. [ref: ANSI/SIA DC-09-2007]

  10. Fire Alarms • National Fire Protection Association’s Standard: “National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code” • Standard revised in 2010 with NFPA 72-2010 allows for “Managed Facilities-based Voice Network (MFVN)” to be used along with the PSTN •  Previously the PSTN was the only wired service to communicate with a central station

  11. LEGACY TECHNOLOGIESCAN HAVE LONG LIVES CON EDISON ENDED 125 YEARS OF DIRECT CURRENT ELECTRICITY SERVICE THAT BEGAN WITH EDISON’S OPENING OF HIS PEARL STREET POWER STATION ON SEPT. 4, 1882 - IN 2007
