Voice
When organizations integrate their voice and data services on 3Com networking infrastructures, they protect their voice traffic with the same comprehensive, standards-based security as their data. 3Com security solutions can encrypt voice and data communications in robust virtual private networks (VPNs). They safeguard the privacy of calls over the WAN, ensuring that no one can tap into conversations as can happen with conventional phone systems. Moreover, 3Com systems can scramble audio packets between 3Com phones and the gateway to the public phone system. With a converged 3Com network, organizations are assured that their voice services will meet all business and legal requirements for confidentiality and integrity.
In addition to delivering cost-effective, function-rich voice services, 3Com IP telephony solutions can play a significant role in service continuity and disaster recovery. These standards-based systems have proven carrier-class 99.999% availability, ensuring that dial tone is always available. 3Com NBX® networked telephony platforms operate independently of the network operating system; should the network fail, voices services are unaffected. If a LAN is removed from service, voice services can be quickly restored using inexpensive wireless solutions.

Additionally, because the 3Com VCX™ V7000 IP Telephony Solution runs on servers, large enterprises can distribute these devices for redundancy. Should a server crash, voice traffic is redistributed to the others. If an entire site fails, administrators can reroute traffic to other locations. Moreover, if the enterprise WAN crashes, administrators can offload long-distance services onto the public phone system. As a result, 3Com voice systems provide levels of resiliency well beyond what conventional PBX platforms can affordably deliver.
