The IP5280 VLC contains over 20 easy-to-follow “How To” videos providing instruction on the basics of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), the functions and features of the High Definition desk-top phones, and all computer interface and networking capabilities. Here’s a link to IP5280’s Video Learning Center and the “Introduction” video, hosted by IP5280 Managing Partner John Scarborough.
Englewood, Colo. (Vocus/PRWEB ) June 2, 2009 -- IP5280 Communications, which specializes in business VoIP and data communications through state-of-the-art unified Internet Protocol technologies, announced today the launch of the industry’s first Video Learning Center (“VLC”) for Hosted VoIP Services to ease the installation and learning curve for new business users.
IP5280 Video Learning Center Networking Do’s and Don’t’s. With the explosive adoption of Hosted VoIP in the business market today we considered it imperative to create a self-instruction utility that can be easily accessed by any new user or IT professional who wants to learn how to install and use their new IP services. We’ll continue to develop new videos to the IP5280 VLC platform as requirements are identified. I appreciate a company that makes investments in customer service tools and is focused on the end-user experience Once IP5280 completed the installation, I was able to send out the link to the VLC to all of my employees to get them immediately up and running with their new phones. With the use of the IP5280 VLC, I avoided weeks of scheduled training classes and follow up classes for my employees – it made the change simple, turnkey and effective. The IP5280 VLC contains over 20 easy-to-follow “How To” videos providing instruction on the basics of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), the functions and features of the High Definition desk-top phones, and all computer interface and networking capabilities.
Available through the IP5280 website at www.ip5280.com, the IP5280 VLC is designed with a progressive curriculum, starting with the key components of IP communications. The videos average two minutes in length and include simple-to-follow graphics, button-by-button use of the Polycom Soundpoint IP High Definition phone, and step-by-step mouse-clicks using the Broadsoft management portal. All of the videos are packaged into a navigation-friendly graphical user interface, making the IP5280 VLC the first of its kind in the VoIP communications industry.
Included in the training lineup are step-by-step videos covering everything from the simple – a 13-second presentation on using the phone “Call Hold” functionality – to the more complex – a 3:59 video titled “Networking Do’s and Don’t’s.” The VLC was purposely designed to simplify the VoIP experience for each new user on the network, and to provide IT professionals with the critical tools necessary to manage the implementation of a Hosted VoIP infrastructure.
“With the explosive adoption of Hosted VoIP in the business market today,” said John Scarborough, co-founder and managing partner of IP5280 Communications, “we considered it imperative to create a self-instruction utility that can be easily accessed by any new user or IT professional who wants to learn how to install and use their new IP services. We’ll continue to develop new videos to the IP5280 VLC platform as requirements are identified.”
“I appreciate a company that makes investments in customer service tools and is focused on the end-user experience,” said Andy Walbert, CEO of StratStaff, LLC., a sales recruiting and training firm. “Once IP5280 completed the installation, I was able to send out the link to the VLC to all of my employees to get them immediately up and running with their new phones. With the use of the IP5280 VLC, I avoided weeks of scheduled training classes and follow up classes for my employees – it made the change simple, turnkey and effective.”

Skype IPO

http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/rich-tehrani/skype/skype-ipo-coming.html

This will be interesting and should accelerate the focus on VoIP from non-industry types. There has been some great momentum building in this space and we believe there will be much more focus on the desktop and integration. We here at IP5280 Communications are witnessing a tremendous need from our customers and prospects in this area. They need help in the LAN, desktop support and consultation services.

Metr0-E networks has stepped up to fill this gap. Check them out at www.metroenetworks.com

VoIP over WiMax

http://www.voip-news.com/blog/20090406/move-over-wireless-voip-is-coming-to-town-whether-you-like-it-or-not/

The areas were the cell providers will lose the most traffic, are the dense metros where wireless is everywhere. I watch my kids now on their I-Touch devices utilizing messaging all over the place. Those messages where traditionally launched from cell phones. The landscape is changing fast!!!

VoIP growth in 2009

It's no surprise that the VoIP industry will be a top grower in 2009! It's an industry that offers "more for less". Anytime you can say to a business that you can offer many more features and flexibility for less money, you gain ground!

http://www.eweek.com/c/a/VOIP-and-Telephony/VOIP-Growth-Remains-Strong-Despite-Recession-207028/

Ip5280 can see this growth and opportunity. Hosted VoIP is a no-brainer, if you are a small business, buying a PBX is like buying a buggy whip, when everyone else is driving a car. SIP trunking is accelerating in 2009! We are seeing larger companies embracing SIP Trunking across the board. in 2009, SIP trunking will surpass the PRI trunk. It's simply the new way we do business moving forward.

Skype is moving lots of traffic

This is amazing and further proof LD is headed to $0



Skype, the long distance king
By Doug Mohney
Comment Forward
New data from TeleGeography says Skype is moving 8 percent of the world's international long distance phone traffic. "Only five years after its launch, Skype has emerged as the largest provider of cross-border voice communications in the world," said TeleGeography analyst Stephan Beckert.
As a whole, international voice traffic continues to rise, as it grew 14 percent in 2007 and is estimated to have grown 12 percent in 2008 to around 384 billion minutes. However, revenues have been largely flat due to declining call prices.
TeleGeography estimates that Skype's cross-border traffic grew 41 percent in 2008 to 33 billion minutes. Wholesale carriers such as iBasis and Level 3 are picking up revenues from "Skype Out" traffic, with the service generating 8.4 billion minutes of calls in 2008.
It's an interesting benchmark with more interesting complications. Why would anyone (eBay) want to sell off the world's largest long-distance provider, so long as it is making money?

VOIP leads the way as service revenues ramp up
General Press Releases September 1st, 2008
(No Ratings Yet)

According to the latest data from Point Topic broadband value added services generated $25.7 billion worldwide in 2007, an increase of 62% on 2006.
“Value added services are growing strongly and are increasingly significant in overall revenue terms,” says John Bosnell, Senior Analyst at Point Topic.
“We estimate that value added services were 10% of total broadband revenues, which includes subscriptions, in 2003 but by the end of 2007 that has increased to over 30%. As it gets harder to make a profit in the hyper competitive line rental market the operators and suppliers have to look to add value, and revenue, with their service offerings,” he continues.
Where does the money come from?
56% of the service revenues generated worldwide come from the combination of voice over IP (VOIP) and security. They are followed, in order of global revenue generated by online gaming, home networks, music downloads and video over broadband.
“The success story of 2007 has been VOIP. Overall revenue has very nearly doubled, average revenue per user (ARPU) is up and take-up in major markets, particularly North America and Western Europe is growing quickly,” says Bosnell.
Point Topic splits VOIP into two segments, IP Telephony which means VOIP provided by ISPs and Internet Telephony, which includes services like Skype which route through the user’s PC.
“It’s difficult to measure active users of the Skype and its cousins, like the applications embedded in the popular instant messaging services, but our estimates put the worldwide number of active users at around 20 million,” he continues.
Whilst the ARPU is relatively low on these services, IP Telephony on the other hand produces around 10 times as much revenue per user. But it’s not a bottomless well. At the end of 2007 for example VOIP accounted for 27% of fixed lines in France, many served via bundled deals. Market saturation is still some way off but not out of sight.
“We expect VOIP to continue to grow strongly in the next few years and in combination with other value adds, particularly IPTV, global revenues should continue to grow,” concludes Bosnell.

Same Day VoIP Service!!!!!

IP5280 COMMUNICATIONS LAUNCHES “SAME-DAY-VOIP” SERVICES AVAILABLE FOR DNC CONVENTION ATTENDEES

Englewood, Colo. – August 25, 2008 – IP5280 Communications, Colorado’s business VoIP specialists, announced the immediate availability of “Same-Day-VoIP”, a Voice Over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) phone service designed to meet the unanticipated requirements of the attendees of the Democratic National Convention being held in Denver August 25th to August 28th. While the physical network infrastructure of metro Denver has been augmented in anticipation of the convention and the expected demands placed on the network caused by the addition of 80,000 people, it may still not be enough to support all of the communication requirements of the DNC attendees.
Cellular, local access and broadband communications will be instantly stressed by the increased demands of the news and media coverage of the convention, further tested by the real time distribution of video applications destined for the web, and public and private blogs. IP5280’s “Same-Day-VoIP” service guarantees fully operational VoIP phone service within 24 hours from when the order is placed, including phone numbers, feature turn up and customized Music On Hold to announce event updates and any other urgent communications.
“It’s possible that the existing cellular, wireless and landline networks will be pushed beyond the limits,” said Carlos Johnson, vice president of Engineering for IP5280. “We also know that some of the organizations setting up temporary offices in Denver may come up short with what they have for communications options and may need immediate support.”
IP5280 has the capabilities to turn up phones and lines within 24 hours, as long as there is sufficient broadband connectivity available. In fact, IP5280 has implemented these services to businesses in emergency situations in the past. For immediate consultation and support, call 303-800-0000.
“We are proud of our leadership position in the Business VoIP space,” said Jamie Minner, vice president of Sales. “We stand ready to help Colorado business, as well as the many guests of the great city of Denver during the DNC Convention.”
