Basis Components of a Telephony Network
PSTN: Public switched telephone network
Analog telephone: Able to connect directly to the PSTNand is the most common device on the PSTN. Convertsaudio into electrical signals.
Digital telephone: Typically connects to a PBX system.Converts audio into binary 1s and 0s, which allows moreefficient communication than analog.
Private switch:Allows a business to operate a miniaturePSTN inside its company. This provides efficiency andcost savings because each phone in the company doesnot require a direct connection to the CO switch.

Supervisory Signaling
On-hook signal: When the phone is on-hook, theconnection between the tip and ring wires is broken and noelectrical signal passes between them.
Off-hook signal: When the phone is off-hook, the phone
connects the tip and ring wires, completing the circuit andallowing electrical signal to pass.
Ringing: To cause an analog phone to ring, the phonecompany sends an alternating current (AC) signal down
one of the wires, which the phone detects and generates aring signal.

Address Signaling
Dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF): The buttons on atelephone keypad use a pair of high and low electricalfrequencies (thus dual-tone) to generate a signal eachtime a caller presses a digit. DTMF is the predominantsignal type used in the United States.
Pulse: The rotary-dial wheel of a phone connects anddisconnects the local loop circuit as it rotates around tosignal specific digits.

Sending Multiple Calls over a Single Line
The original problems of analog connections:
The signal degrades over long distances.
You cant send multiple calls over a single line (resulting in
massive cabling requirements).
Digitizing voice solves the first problem because you can easilytransmit a numeric value any distance a cable can run withoutany degradation or line noise.
Multiplexing solves the second problem.

Drawbacks to the PSTN
Data has overtaken voice as the primary traffic onnetworks.
The PSTN cannot create and deploy features quicklyenough.
Data/Voice/Video (D/V/V) cannot converge on the PSTNas currently built.
The architecture built for voice is not flexible enough to
carry data.

VoIP Overview
VoIP is the family of technologies that allows IP networks tobe used for voice applications, such as telephony, voiceinstant messaging, and teleconferencing.
VoIP defines a way to carry voice calls over an IP network,including the digitization and packetization of the voicestreams.

VoIP Overview
VoIP services convert your voice into a digital signal thattravels over an IP-based network.
If you are calling a traditional phone number, the signal isconverted to a traditional telephone signal before it reaches its
destination.
VoIP allows you to make a call directly from a computer, a VoIPphone, or a traditional analog phone connected to a specialadapter. In addition, wireless hot spots in locations such as
airports, parks, and cafes that allow you to connect to theInternet might enable you to use VoIP services.

VoIP Advantages
Reduced cost of communicating: Instead of relying onexpensive tie lines or toll charges to communicate betweenoffices, VoIP allows you to forward calls over WANconnections.
Reduced cost of cabling: VoIP deployments typically cutcabling costs in half by running a single Ethernet connectioninstead of both voice and data cables. (This cost savings ismost realized in newly constructed offices.)

VoIP Advantages
Take your phone with you: Cost estimates for moves, adds,and changes (MAC) to a traditional PBX system range from$55 to $295 per MAC. With VoIP phone systems, this cost isvirtually eliminated.
In addition, IP phones are becoming increasingly plug-and-playwithin the local offices, allowing moves with little to noreconfiguration of the voice network. In addition, whencombined with a VPN configuration, users can take IP phoneshome with them and retain their work extension.

VoIP Advantages
IP SoftPhones: SoftPhones represent an ideal example of thepossibilities when combining voice and data networks. Users cannow plug a headset into their laptop or desktop and allow it to actas their phone. SoftPhones are becoming increasingly moreintegrated with other applications such as e-mail contact lists,instant messenger, and video telephony.
Unified e-mail, voicemail, fax: All messaging can be sent to ausers e-mail inbox. This allows users to get all messages in oneplace and easily reply, forward, or archive messages.

VoIP Advantages
Increased productivity: VoIP extensions can forward to ringmultiple devices before forwarding to voicemail.
Feature-rich communications: Because voice, data, and videonetworks have combined, users can initiate phone calls that
communicate with or invoke other applications from the voice ordata network to add additional benefits to a VoIP call. For example, calls flowing into a call center can automatically pull upcustomer records based on caller ID information or trigger avideo stream for one or more of the callers.

VoIP Advantages
Open, compatible standards: In the same way that you cannetwork Apple, Dell, and IBM PCs together, you can now connectdevices from different telephony vendors together. Although thisbenefit has yet to be fully realized, this will allow businesses tochoose the best equipment for their network, regardless of themanufacturer.

VoIP Advantages
Flexibility: The sophisticated functionality of IP networks allowsorganizations to be flexible in the types of applications andservices they provide to their customers and users. Serviceproviders can easily segment customers. This helps them toprovide different applications, custom services, and ratesdepending on traffic volume needs and other customer-specific
factors.

VoIP Advantages
Advanced call routing: When multiple paths exist to connect acall to its destination, some of these paths might be preferredover others based on cost, distance, quality, partner handoffs,traffic load, or various other considerations.Least-cost routing and time-of-day routing are two examples ofadvanced call routing that can be implemented to determine the
best possible route for each call.

VoIP Advantages
Long-distance toll bypass: Long-distance toll bypass is anattractive solution for organizations that place a significantnumber of calls between sites that are charged traditional long-distance fees. In this case, it might be more cost effective to useVoIP to place those calls across an IP network. If the IP WANbecomes congested, calls can overflow into the PSTN, ensuring
that no degradation occurs in voice quality.

Trunks are used to interconnect gateways or PBX systems
to other gateways, PBX systems, or the PSTN.
A trunk is a single physical or logical interface that containsseveral physical interfaces and connects to a singledestination. This could be a single FXO port that provides a
single line connection between a Cisco gateway and a FXSport of small PBX system, a POTS device, or several T1interfaces with 24 lines each in a Cisco gateway providingPSTN lines to several hundred subscribers.
Trunk ports can be analog or digital and use a variety of signaling protocols

Codecs provide the coding and decoding translationbetween analog and digital facilities. Each codec type
defines the method of voice coding and the compressionmechanism that is used to convert the voice stream.
The PSTN uses TDM to carry each voice call. Each voicechannel reserves 64 kbps of bandwidth and uses the G.711
codec to convert an analog voice wave to a 64-kbpsdigitized voice stream.
In VoIP design, codecs might compress voice beyond the64-kbps voice stream to allow more efficient use of network
resources.The most widely used codec in the WAN environment isG.729, which compresses the voice stream to 8 kbps.

Although MOS scoring is a subjective method ofdetermining voice quality, it is not the only method for doingso. The ITU-T put forth recommendation P.861, whichcovers ways you can objectively determine voice qualityusing Perceptual Speech Quality Measurement (PSQM).
PSQM has many drawbacks when used with voice codecs(vocoders). One drawback is that what the "machine" orPSQM hears is not what the human ear perceives. Inlayman's terms, a person can trick the human ear intoperceiving a higher-quality voice, but a computer cannot be
tricked. Also, PSQM was developed to "hear" impairmentscaused by compression and decompression and not packetloss or jitter.
