Internet+ Model Presented
Intertex and Ingate presented the Internet+ model at ITEXPO in Miami 1-3 February 2012. There were several sessions and a BoF (Birds of a Feather) meeting at Ingate's 3 day SIP Trunk-UC Seminar at ITEXPO.
Internet+ is an extended Internet access allowing high-quality SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) based real-time person-to-person communication, everywhere and for any application. It applies to both fixed and mobile networks. Until now, only the plain old telephony service (POTS) has been delivered globally over IP, while better services with high definition voice, video conferencing, instant messaging (IM) and presence, have emerged in islands like Skype, GoogleTalk or in the enterprise UC-PBX. However, these islands lack global connectivity, sometimes have inferior quality and can only use telephone numbers if connected to the POTS via gateways.
