Assist Telco and ISP engineers and technicians in their transition to IP telephony
Voice over IP (VoIP) is a fast-growing technology within telcos and ISPs. VoIP is significantly reducing the cost of transmitting telephone calls and enabling small companies to enter the +$50 billion marketplace. Many telcos and ISPs are entering this market while VoIP is still in its infancy. As a result, there is an urgent need for telco and ISP engineers to learn this new technology. This book will assist telco engineers to transition to IP networking with a focus on VoIP networks. This book introduces the fundamentals of IP networking as it applies to transmitting voice calls using IP packets. Key telco-based technologies such as SS7 are reviewed. A unique approach is that the book outlines each component of VoIP technology while describing the application of the technology. This is accomplished by describing key steps in designing an operational VoIP network, thereby enabling the reader to understand how this technology is applied.

This review is from: Voice-Enabling the Data Network: H.323, MGCP, SIP, QoS, SLAs, and Security (Hardcover)
I did not like this book, because it was too short and too light weight. It feels like an ISP manager's overview, and I was looking for detailed bits and bytes, the whys and the configs. If you want detailed discussion of these topics, find another book. If you want an overview of the listed topics, Voice-Enabling may work for you, but it is relatively expensive. I admit, it probably suffered in comparison, because I got "Troubleshooting Cisco IP Telephony" at the same time, and that book is packed to the gills with detailed info. However, if I had scanned Voice-Enabling before I picked it up I would never had got it.

Voice-Enabling the Data Network is a great book. It provides a comprehisive overview of important aspects in designing a large scale VoIP network. This book is unique because it covers not only H.323 networks, but also MGCP and SIP while considering security and network management. I highly recommend it!

Author has painstakingly captured the details essential to an understanding of VoIP. I found it useful for its introduction to the technology. It is a good assist for engineers and techs who are just getting involved. The information on security is valuable. It is definitely an appropriate addition to my library, and I heartily recommend it.
