To start off, a good overview of VoIP systems can be found at our Teach me VoIP page. In this overview, you'll get a complete definition of VoIP, an explanation of the protocol behind it, and the main reason why VoIP is so attractive as a primary communications system: it avoids the toll charges imposed by phone carriers. On this page, you'll also find a link that lets you download our VoIP Solutions Guide, which clearly explains a variety of typical VoIP applications. We will explain in detail the types of applications VoIP can be used for, including branch office connectivity, telecommuting, competitive carrier solution, as well as the differences between modular, analog, and digital telephony products. When you're ready to see the hardware that makes VoIP possible, link to our Product Guide and get detailed statistics on and and comparisons between our SmartNode VoIP products.

To find out how VoIP has worked for other companies who made the switch, we offer plenty of case studies, newsletter archives, data sheets, product manuals, and press releases at our Knowledge Base. After consulting these resources, you should have enough information to start planning for your system needs. You may request a hard copy of our free product catalog, or you can download a PDF version. When you download the catalog, you can choose to access the entire catalog, or just the sections that you need.
