continued reliance upon the PSTN for VoIP traffic, and difficulty in extending collaborative suites beyond the corporate firewall. Tello ( www.tello.com) has a solution known as Tello Enterprise that targets enterprises that need to collaborate with partners, suppliers, and customers.
The solution integrates multiple technologies and protocols to allow the enterprise to connect its IT infrastructure to the service. It extends the functionality of the IP-PBXs and the IM systems. In other words, it makes presence information available inside and outside the firewall, under the control of both the enterprise and the individual.
Tello Enterprise is standards based; it employs SIP/ SIMPLE and XMPP for interoperability and federation. There are no limits on the number of users, the volume of requests, or location. Corporate directories can be integrated, and Web browsers used to provision, administer, and use the service.
VoIP adoption is escalating as more and more businesses and consumers embrace the cost efficiencies and new capabilities of IP-centric services. Traditional fixed-line operators are migrating toward so-called next-generation networks, mobile operators are deploying all-IP network cores, cable operators are marketing VoIP services, and more and more consumers are employing

the services of Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, and Skype. As a result, the number of subscribers is projected to reach 47 million by the end of 2006 (Infonetics Research), and traffic is set to be between 80 and 120 billion minutes.
Those are impressive statistics, but right now most of the growth resides in VoIP islands, and in many cases the PSTN is used to connect one service provider’s network to the next. Routing calls this way is inefficient and expensive. Transcoding between networks introduces delays and jitter, thereby degrading the quality of service (QoS). In addition, features that rely on end-to-end IP connectivity are list, so all you get is a lowest-common-denominator service.
There’s no money to be made in plain vanilla VoIP–that lowest common denominator service. But there is in interactive, feature-rich multimedia applications such as unified communications, collaboration, and video conferencing. However, the only way to optimize the investment in the new service infrastructure is to optimize the reach.
Ultimately the new interactive services and applications must span wired and wireless networks and reach both consumers and business professionals. That is achieved via VoIP or application-level peering, which allows service providers to exchange subscriber information and route VoIP calls and other multimedia sessions over IP networks, thereby maintaining the intrinsic cost and feature benefits of the medium.
