Inverclyde Council adopts VoIP

Bookmark and Share

by Jan Harris

Inverclyde Council has installed an Ethernet VPN fibre network and IP telephony at a cost of £3 million.

The new communications system from ntl:Telewest connects the council’s 5,000 staff and is expected to bring major cost savings as staff can now make free internal calls via VoIP.

The system was also chosen for its flexibility to provide scaleable bandwidth to all council and school buildings within Inverclyde.

It has allowed billing procedures to be rationalised, freeing up staff time for other tasks.

The Ethernet VPN service delivers 10mbp/s bandwidth to each council building. Connections to their core site are delivered as Gigabit Services.

Each of the 100 corporate and education sites directly connected to the ntl:Telewest Business network can be increased to 100mb remotely, without the need to change any equipment or send out an engineer.
