Adds the network intelligence needed to introduce dynamic new services
that have been the promise of IP telephony. The Ericsson H.323
Gatekeeper System also dramatically improves the management of Internet
telephony networks and ensures future interoperability with other
vendor equipment.
The new system will enable Internet telephony industry players to take full
advantage of the technology by:
- stimulating the development of advanced value-added services for
networks, such as customized service categories and profiles for
individual subscribers
- protecting existing investments in Voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP) by ensuring future interoperability between different
vendors' equipment
- enhancing the dependability of carrier class VoIP network management
- utilizing least-cost routing options to increase network and cost
efficiencies
- improving network reliability because the Ericsson H.323
Gatekeeper is independent of the Gateway.
