  • XOP Networks deploys its IP based Hoot and Holler Conference Bridge at a Large Airline

    XOP Networks, Inc., a manufacturer of advanced conference bridges, now offers IP based Hoot and Holler conferencing capability.

    Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) May 06, 2015

    XOP Networks, Inc., a manufacturer of advanced conference bridges now offers IP based Hoot and Holler conference bridges. These bridges have proven interoperability with a number of Push to Talk (PTT) four wire FXS to SIP gateways, Turrets, Squawk boxes and a variety of SIP based Hoot and Holler end devices.

    Hoot and holler networks provide “always on” multiuser conferences without requiring users to dial into a conference. Such conferences are routinely used by brokerages, news agencies, publishers, weather bureaus, Satellite Launch operators, transportation providers, power plant operators and nationwide salvage yard organizations.

    Hoot and holler networks are traditionally deployed using point-to-point leased lines that terminate into a TDM based hoot and holler conference bridge that is hosted either by the customer or by the PSTN carrier.

    Large corporations have been implementing their own private data networks. These networks typically touch all physical locations that are involved in hoot-n-holler conferencing as well. Hence, a more cost effective approach for implementing the hoot network is to convert the traditional 4 wire devices (PTT Radios, Phones, Squawk boxes etc.) into SIP end points with the help of media gateways and then connect the resulting voice paths to an IP based Hoot-n-Holler conference bridge over the data network.

    Our IP based Hoot-n-Holler conference bridge is a robust Linux based platform that is designed to fulfill the ‘always on’ audio conferencing needs of large mission critical networks

    The benefits of using the IP based Hoot and Holler network approach are:

    • Eliminate the need for expensive leased lines
    • Improve hoot and holler network manageability
    • PSTN connectivity to H-n-H network
    • Reduce the time to troubleshoot a problem from hours to minutes
    • Pave way for adding native SIP based Hoot-n-Holler end devices going forward

    One of the largest airlines in the world recently deployed XOP Networks’ IP based Hoot-n-Holler conference bridges. Two conference bridges are deployed in Hot/Standby high availability configuration at two separate geographical locations thereby ensuring 99.999% availability.

    “Our IP based Hoot-n-Holler conference bridge is a robust Linux based platform that is designed to fulfill the ‘always on’ audio conferencing needs of large mission critical networks. It supports both legacy TDM and VoIP/SIP interfaces thus allowing our customers to migrate their hoot-n-holler networks towards packet based networking at their own pace,” said Sudhir Gupta, CEO of XOP Networks.

    “Our recent success in deploying IP based Hoot and Holler network at the large airline customer proves the validity of the business case. Our customer now has a modern, robust SIP based conference bridge that paid for itself in less than 4 months,” added Doug Jacobs, VP of Sales, XOP Networks.

  • 4 Ways to Lower Your Business Phone Bill

    More than ever, businesses are looking for ways to lower costs.  I’m sure your business is no different.  Due to the necessity of phone services, high costs are often ignored.  The philosophy is “we need it, so we have to pay for it.”  You don’t need to think this way.  In the following, I will reveal 4 simple ways to lower your telephone service costs.

    1) Switch to VOIP

    Switching to a VOIP service provider can save you a lot of money.  VOIP stands for voice over internet protocol.  VOIP gives you the ability to make and receive phone calls over a broadband internet connection.  Because calls are not sent over traditional phone lines, service plans are less expensive.

    2) Bundle Your Services

    Do you have separate service providers for high-speed internet, land lines, and cell phones?  If so, you can easily save money by choosing one provider for all of these services.  You should take advantage of bundle discounts whenever possible.

    3) Phone Cards for Small Businesses

    If you operate a small business, you may only occasionally make long-distance phone calls.  In this case, a phone card can often be cheaper than a traditional long-distance service plan.

    4) Get a Phone Bill Audit

    For complete phone system cost management, you can get a phone bill audit from an expert. Telcom & Data provides phone bill audits with a comprehensive rate and tariff analysis.  We save you money by recovering historical credits, creating ongoing cost reductions, and preparing recommendations that will generate future savings.  Historically, we have identified excess cost in nearly 95% of the clients we audit.
