Why IP?

• The Internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol used for

  internetwork using the Internet Protocol Suite,

• IP Based solutions are network independent
• Seamless transfer between Fixed and Mobile
  technologies

What is Unified Communications?

• Our view is that UC should bring together a
  range of disparate communication services (silos)
  and combines them into a single fully integrated
  solution from a single supplier, Vodafone.
• A key feature of UC is integrated real time
  presence across all of the communications
  services.

What IP based Services can do for you

• Reduce your cost - both Capex and Opex
• Improve your access to the latest technology
• Improve the reliability of your applications
• Increase the availability of services (in the
  office, on the road)
