VoIP Opportunities in India

VoIP Opportunities in India
"the international long distance market in India was opened, finally, to competition on April 1, 2003 liberation of fixed telecom markets on the horizon. The planned liberalisation is broad, covering international and domestic long distance and local telephonythat deregulation, however, provides, significant opportunities for both IP vendors and service providers, as most new entrants are unlikely to build traditional voice networks."

Opportunities exist for:

Value proposition of IP telephony
Killer value-added and user-centric VoIP services and applications
QoS, security and reliability requirements for VoIP networks
Management and support in the IP environment
Partnership and alliances formation in the IP world
Consulting challenges in VoIP deployment

Other Thrust Areas For VoIP
- Call Center Industry
- Enterprise VoIP
- VoIP Grey Route Traffic

Indian regulation regarding VoIP:
1. End-to-end VoIP is NOT regulated.
2. VoIP originating within India, but terminating outside India is not regulated.
3. A VoIP call that terminates (independent of origin) but terminates in Indian PSTN is tariffed on a two-tier basis.

Thus the 3rd factor is the reason a great deal of Grey Routes exist in India where 50% of the telephony traffic is going via untariffed, untracked grey routes versus legitimate routes.

Can someone please answer this question for me

Are companies using an IP-PBX with say an E1 interface for PSTN calls allowed to have VOIP extensions (hardphones or softphones)
inside their office in the same premises as the PSTN E1 line ?

Basically is a VOIP PBX in an office allowed to have a PSTN connection and VOIP phones as extensions.

[Ryan Gibson]

Yes, the PBX system does basically give you an external and internal phone exchange. Anywhere you have the internet you can place a phone, in the office or outside the office as long as it authenticates the phone and extension. The PSTN E1 or PRi line goes into the card, like a digium 4 port card can handle e1, t1, or pri line which you have refered to as the PSTN E1.

hi,

what are some of the best and reasonably priced:
- IP Phones (h.323 and sip standard)
- VOIP PBX systems in India best suited to call the US over IP for free and also for local PSTN support?

would appreciate if you could let me know the approx cost and contact information for such equipment.

thanks,
vishal

I would be interested to find out more about how I can develop a voip business in Bombay.

[Telecom Phone Guys]

Well now that VOIP is mainstream, I think a neat idea like PBXlance.com was bound to happen, but could that be outsourced to india as well? I hope not!
We need to keep it here in the USA.

IN pri- 30 different channels are distributed among employees through eapbx. apart from that there are 100 extensions possible.
in broadband 8-10 mbps speed can be provided to the users means in a fraction of second u can down load a movie.

by using leasing line u can have a lookout on your different offices

By Interenet leased ports u can distribute the broadband connection among employees.

By voip u can make economic std calls
