Voice over IP (VoIP)

JANET Talk

A JANET Talk trial was conducted from August 2008 until May 2009 to determine how this SIP based environment could play a role in providing voice and collaborative services to the JANET community.

The results of the trial are now available.

This development of JANET Talk was born out of the JANET Voice Strategy which was written following the results of a requirements study to understand the precise requirements for voice services over JANET.

Voice Advisory Service

The JANET Voice Advisory Service (VAS) was launched on 18 December 2006.  The service offers academic and research organisations unbiased expert advice on a wide range of voice over IP network technolgies and their implementation.

Skype and JANET

Skype is a widely used service that offers Voice over IP. The popularity of this software led JANET(UK)'s Voice Advisory Group to investigate its engineering and any implications for JANET. Further information of this study can be found at [Skype and JANET]
