Chapter 1: Overview
Congratulations on your purchase of the BESTip! With the
BESTip, you will capture the power of the Internet by using your
existing network to communicate over the Internet, worldwide,
free of long distance charges. The BESTip allows you to take
advantage of the vast reach and cost reduction of the Internet
for voice communication.
Lower Communication Charges
Reduced monthly phone charges are a big advantage of
converging voice calls with the existing data network. BESTip
can eliminate traditional circuit-switched networks, and save
your company substantial amounts in long-distance charges. A
BESTip network can quickly return your investment and begin
paying you back.
For example, companies with overseas branches stand to reap
the biggest rewards by eliminating international long-distance
charges. A company with the headquater and branch located in
Taipei and Los Angles could route calls to and from each office
over the network, and thus a major portion of long-distance
charges could be reduced.
Reduced Cost of Ownership
The lower cost associated with BESTip devices is not just to
lower monthly fees. BESTip also reduces the amount of
hardware needed (infrastructure overhead) by both converging
voice and data networks. With BESTip, you do not need to
replace your existing network connections, routers or phone
systems. The BESTip is helping to drive down the total cost of
business communications.
