Voice Options
In addition to standard data services, Spacenet also offers Voice over IP (VoIP) satellite solutions. These services must be ordered separately from a customer’s data service; the standard data packages are not designed to be used with VoIP traffic.
Spacenet’s VoIP services are based on the advanced technology of the Gilat SkyEdge VSAT platform (or the Cisco IP VSAT Module) and its ability to provide prioritization for real-time traffic, delivering a superior-quality VoIP user experience. Spacenet’s VoIP satellite services support a wide variety of industry standard protocols and codecs, including SIP, H.323, G.723 and G.729.
Spacenet VoIP services can be delivered as “transport only” or “complete” solutions:
- Transport only: This provides the requisite satellite bandwidth for high-quality voice service and will connect a phone at a customer’s remote location to a customer’s PBX or PSTN interface (collocated with Spacenet or via a dedicated backhaul). These services are intended for customers who will provide their own call termination and phone numbers, and are priced by the number of lines available for simultaneous use.
- Complete solution: This service provides an end-to-end VoIP solution including a local phone number, full PSTN access, local/long distance inbound/outbound call termination and E911 service. Optional services include voice mail; call forwarding; speed dial; and inbound toll-free numbers. These services are priced by the number of phone numbers/lines (customers with a local PBX or other phone system may multiplex lines and pay only for simultaneous connections).
Standard options are available from one phone line/number up to a maximum of 12 phone lines/numbers per Cisco IP VSAT Module. For more information about specific aspects of the VoIP services, please contact a Spacenet or authorized Spacenet channel partner representative.
