Students from Auckland’s Marshall Laing primary school took part in a key milestone in the build of Telecom’s new all-IP next generation network (NGN) today, by completing the first voice over internet protocol (VoIP) phone call.

Telecom CEO Paul Reynolds was on the call and said it was exciting to see the first call completed and especially fitting that it was made by future users of the technology.

Better late than never I guess. About 6 years later than originally planed.

"One child piped up saying that his parents were already using VoIP at home, but he was quickly hushed away by Paul's security staff."

Any Orcon+ users pop up to ask why it took Telecom so long to deploy VoIP over POTS?

Don't forget your PIN number, especially if you use ASB Bank!

Slight difference between VoIP over DSL and a Voice call via RGW onto the IMS platform

Yes. But that's not what I'm talking about.

Orcon aren't doing VOIP over DSL. Orcon+ voice is VoIP to the cabinet and then POTS to the house - exactly the same as Telecom's VoIP to their ISAM and POTS to the house.

What your suggesting is some sort of POTS->SIP/H.248 switching done at the DSLAM in the cabinet, such as ISAM-V like tecnology with a SIP->PSTN gateway at the CO. Which is POTS Emulation and needs an AGCF to swtch the traffic onto the underlying IMS platform

I hadn't heard that Orcon had rolled this technology out yet.

They've certainly been spruiking the LLU deployed cabinets, and in fact I saw the dedicated patch panels for the orcon DSLAMs in the MDF on a tour of Wellington CENTREX last week

Any public domain media describing their H.248/SIP/IMS platform?

This was deployed by Orcon with their first LLU in Auckland months ago already - the first in the world actually.

Imagine you have an ATA device at home and a phone plugged to it. Now imagine Orcon is actually hosting the ATA device at the Exchange and the phone goes over the copper line and plugs to it. That's pretty much it.

Thats exactly what we are doing, since launch. Vodafone also do the same thing on their RED network.

Works well!

I get you now - ATA to VoIP gateway but done at the exchange.

So, as I was saying, not quite IMS! ;)

No, no... That was an oversimplification so people can get the concept. Follow the post Sounddude wrote just before your last comment for a confirmation from Orcon...

Which can only be used over the POTS system!

Orcon are using Siemens

Who's implementing Vodafones NGN Network, Huawei, Ericsson?
