Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 3 page paper discussing current developments in Voice over IP (VOIP), which has been available for some time but has not always been technically- or cost-effective in the past. Alliance between IBM and Nortel Networks in 2001 resulted in the most promising arrangement for VOIP to date being released in late 2002. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
data transmission over cable, voice and data networks have been separate entities until only recently. Voice over IP (VOIP) has been available for some time, but it has not
always been technically effective and it certainly has not been cost effective in the past. IBM has been conspicuous in its absence from
the VOIP aspect of network development, but it recently announced an alliance with Nortel Networks, which with Avaya Inc. now leads the hardware aspect of the industry (Sturdevant, 2002). Earlier
Efforts Cisco Systems introduced its 1750 modular access router in 1999, effectively delivering "on its goal of enabling managers to move VOIP (voice
over IP) to a lower-end, less-expensive device that migrates employees calls with no retraining required" (Chowdhry, 1999; p. 18). Though costs were reduced with the introduction of the Cisco
1750, they still could be prohibitive for some customers. Moreover, the Cisco 1750 proved to be more difficult to upgrade to higher protocols than originally had been believed.
Though there has been delay in IBMs entry into the VOIP segment of the market, its current efforts are expected to bring about new
focus on VOIP for enterprise systems. VOIP can offer significant benefits to the organization using that approach to communications. VOIP essentially carries both voice and data network traffic
simultaneously, which "can significantly lower capital costs by unifying cable plant and network equipment. It can also lower operational costs with distributed call center agents and the enabling of self-administered
conference calling and toll-bypass outside the United States" (Sturdevant, 2002). These benefits later extend to enabling "significantly lower add/move costs associated with telephone handsets, staff efficiency gains, easier deployment
