A hardware IP phone, also referred to as a 'hard phone', is a self contained IP telephone. It looks just like a conventional phone, but instead of a conventional phone jack, it has an Ethernet port through which it communicates directly with a VoIP server, VoIP gateway or another VoIP phone. Since a broadband hard phone communicates directly with a VoIP server, VoIP gateway or another VoIP phone it does not require any personal computer nor any software running on a personal computer to make or receive VoIP phone calls. It can be used independently, all that is required is an internet connection. While PC based software solutions are cheaper, a hard phone is the best solution for IP telephony.

time.
Notebooks The Prestige 2000W supports open standard SIP (Session
Initiation Protocol) of major SIP-based call servers, IP-PBXs and
various VoIP client devices. The call control protocol of the
Prestige 2000W is based on SIP v2 (Session Initiation Protocol
version 2, RFC 3261) open standard, which is interoperable with
major SIP-based call servers, IP-PBXs, and other standard SIP-based
client devices. It is not only an ideal alternative for ITSPs (IP

environment.

hot spots.

(computer-to-computer network without Access Point), which allows
users to use the handsets as wireless intercoms.

service provider's QoS (Quality of Service) planning, such ToS
(Type of Service), and DiffServ. It allows gateways or central side
equipment to identify and prioritize voice and data traffic. By
