Primus VoIP: Enabling “REAL” Telecom Solution for Today’s Global Market
VOIP Defined The Voice Over the Internet Protocol (VOIP) is the convergence of voice and data onto one network. Voice communications are digitized onto Internet Protocol (IP) data packets and transported on managed IP networks or over the Internet.
Why VoIP is the Future, Now • Technology for VOIP services is improving dramatically • Economics are also improving, i.e. lower CapEx • New service protocols like SIP, low cost phone adaptors, and integrated cable modems are emerging • Quality concerns for VOIP are diminishing • Broadband infrastructures are improving • Service without boundaries • VOIP challenges traditional service area boundaries • Local, national, international, and even mobile service is no longer tied ownership of network in home areas. • Carriers/Agents can compete out of region, leveraging brand names, carrier relationships, and system investments.
Beyond the Residential Market • Arguably, VOIP promises to transform the business markets faster than the residential market. • In the Enterprise segment, VOIP is now growing significantly. 90% of enterprises with multiple locations will start switching to IP systems for voice over next 5 years - Phillips Group VOIP will account for approximately 75% of world voice services by 2007 - Frost & Sullivan The IP PBX market is expected to grow to $3.9 billion in revenue by 2005, representing nearly 20% of all traditional PBX sales - Synergy Research
VOIP Is Global! • VOIP has been deployed successfully in international markets to reduce transport costs and bypass high international settlement rates. • International VOIP is widely deployed today by fixed and wireless network providers. By 2008, wholesale VOIP traffic in the Europe, Middle East and Asia (EMEA) region could reach 57 billion minutes. About 1,771 billion minutes of retail voice traffic originating in EMEA will have a VOIP component in some portion of the route - Frost and Sullivan VOIP will account for approximately 75% of world voice services by 2007. Frost & Sullivan We predict that the market for IP Services in Western Europe will grow slowly from $14 billion (USD) currently to only $17.5 billion in two years time - analysts at Cap Gemini Ernst & Young and Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein.

Primus Global Unlimited Primus Global Unlimited is easy to set up and easy to use. It works just like the telephone you currently have in your home. Just pick up the phone, dial the number and it connects to the party you are calling. But, for those of you who want to know a little more about what technically makes this product work… Primus uses the phone adapter that we send as a part of your start up package, to convert your voice from an analog signal to a digital signal. The digital signal then can be sent over your high speed Internet connection as data and then is sent over the Internet. When someone calls you, they dial your number, which is translates into something that looks very much like an email address. This number instructs the call to go over the Internet and through Primus’ network to your phone adapter. Your phone rings, and all you have to do is pick up and answer it.

Primus Global VoIP Network Structure (SIP) The Primus Global IP Network uses SIP protocol to set up, authenticate, and complete calls over our IP network. The network consists of a SIP server which routes calls, collects CDRs and provides a feed to our billing and web based monitoring systems. The calls are routed to ensure the best quality and often times they are taken off our IP network and terminated over the Primus TDM network.
