Mammoth Networks Delivers DSL to VoIP Providers
Denver, CO (ContentDesk) February 6,2005 -- Mammoth Networks has announced a fivefold increase in wholesale DSL demand by VoIP providers.
The company allows VoIP providers to provision standalone DSL, or DSL without a phone line, enabling VoIP providers to deliver a telephone-like product to their End User.In the last half of 2005, Mammoth signed an increased number of VoIP providers to its wholesale DSL platform.
The company cites its ability to deliver a standalone DSL over a private network as the reason for this increased demand.
Because standalone DSL enters a home or business on its own telephone pair, VoIP can be delivered without the need for an expensive traditional telephone line."We've embraced standalone DSL, and have given VoIP providers the exact product they need to sell their service," says Brian Worthen, who oversees product development at Mammoth.VoIP, which stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, operates over a broadband internet connection such as DSL.
VoIP allows an End User to make and receive calls from a standard phone, which is then plugged into an adapter that sends the phone call over the internet, and ultimately another regular telephone.Mammoth allows VoIP providers to provision standalone DSL loops to its network, allowing the provider to control the process from order to service delivery.
The company then implements a private connection from the End User's VoIP adapter to the VoIP provider's voice gateway, bypassing the internet.
Because traffic over the internet is a best effort service, latency can result in a low-quality VoIP connection.
Creating private paths allows Mammoth to control the latency for the entire VoIP link, effectively improving the quality of the service."You can save money with Vonage or Packet8, but their services still have a hurdle to overcome - the performance of the internet," Worthen says.
"Our VoIP partners can improve the quality of the call by using our network."Worthen stated that there is a trend for users of telephone service to drop their traditional telephone line and go to a VoIP service.
This service is typically provided at a lower rate than traditional telephone service.
He refers to VoIP as a disruptive technology, indicating the demand for the product will force the telephone industry to adapt to the new technology or change their business model.Mammoth Networks is an aggregator of data services serving nine Western states.
Mammoth enables its Partners by erasing the invisible lines of the telecommunications structure, and leveling the playing field for service providers.
The privately-held company is based in Gillette, Wyoming..

VoIP Phone System
A Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, transmission is initiated by converting voice into digital format. This can be done by Analog Telephone Adaptor (ATA) or by the computer itself using software. In the Public Switch Transmission Network (PSTN), the dialing of the number initiates the call by connecting the call to the public switch and routing the call to the correct party's telephone number through the telephone network.
A VoIP network also has similar functions like that of PSTN, in addition to the IP provider and Internet Service Provider (ISP). The major components of a VoIP network are user devices (one or both ends), a call processing server, VoIP gateways, gatekeepers and an IP network. The user device consists of VoIP phones, traditional phones with accessories and computer-based devices.
VoIP phones may be hard or soft phones.
A VoIP hard phone is like a traditional phone, but instead of a phone jack, it has an Ethernet port through which...

Residential VoIP
Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, services are provided for two segments: businesses and consumers. Consumer VoIP is targeted at homes and hence referred to as residential VoIP. As with any other consumer product, the demand for residential VoIP is driven by cost and quality of service.
With more homes taking to the broadband services for entertainment, news and online purchases, voice-based services, almost free, have caused the consumers to switch to the VoIP telephony. The demand is such that according to Frost and Sullivan Research, consumer VoIP is expected to grow 77 times in the next three years, and the market is expected to generate $700 million in revenues by 2007.
The residential VoIP components are ATAs, phones with built-in routers, IP phones and other hardware accessories. Software services are also slowly catching up.
Software providers like Skype have recorded thousands of downloads so far, and the software is free upon registration....

What Is VOIP and Why Does It Matter?
One of the latest services available online is called Voice Over IP, or VoIP. Its also sometimes called internet telephony or broadband phone service. VoIP lets users make phone calls using the Internet instead of the regular telephone network. With VoIP service, users can make calls using their computer or, by adding a special adaptor, using a regular phone. As VoIP services continue to improve, they're even being used by large companies to replace their traditional internal phone systems.
How do you use VoIP? First you need a broadband connection to the Internet. A cable or DSL connection will do just fine. Then you need a VoIP service provider. VoipProvidersList.com lists thousands of VoIP providers serving over 100 countries, and could be a good place to start.

Making the Switch to Voice Over IP
Copyright 2006 Dave Markel
VoIP is very cost effective as the monthly fee is lower than regular telephone networks. More than that, VoIP also integrate call forwarding and call display, options that are extra charged by the phone companies. Thus more and more people are attracted by this idea and tend to replace their phone lines with VoIP. Before taking such a decision it would be a good idea to keep some things in mind.
You might lose your old number once you switch to VoIP. This is not necessarily to happen, especially if the VoIP provider offers local phone numbers but it would be wiser to check this aspect with both your future VoIP provider and current phone company.
Due to its characteristics, a 911 call from a VoIP connection can't be tracked down and thus the operator won't be able to determine your location if you are unable to speak.
Actually in order to make emergency calls you will have to register your address with your VoIP...
