Bandwidth Requirements Needed to use Tel-One Calling Cloud

Because VoIP uses your Internet connection to send and
receive voice phone calls, your office will only be able to make and recieve as
many outside calls at one time as your Internet connection can support (the
number of calls you can make at one time is the same as the number of outside
lines you have ordered to go with your VoIP service).
If your office's connection doesn't have enough
bandwidth (data speed), calls will have decreased voice quality, and some users
may not be able to get an outside dial tone.
To test your bandwidth, from a networked computer
in your office, and click the Begin
Test button. The test will take a few moments to run. Results will
appear in the connection summary.
What Does This Test Do?
The VoIP quality test evaluates your
bandwidth and network connection to determine the number of VoIP calls your
system can support from your location. It is performed via a website browser,
and is set up as a 'self-test' process that simulates running multiple full
duplex audio calls (audio in and out) in order to measure the key factors
affecting VoIP call quality – jitter,packet loss, and loss
distribution.
Please Note: If you have a
lot of users using bandwidth hungry applications like streaming video on your
network, this will also impact the results of this test. Call quality and
reliability for VoIP are extremely dependant on having sufficient bandwidth and
a reliable Internet connection. Also, if the router has application and /
or bandwidth QoS (quality of service) prioritization enabled, and VoIP
protocols (SIP) are either not prioritized, or low on the list, this will
negatively impact the results as the number of concurrent calls increase on the
same bandwidth pipe.
