New Delhi, (IndiaPRwire) Tadiran Telecom Ltd, an established innovator in telecommunications for more than 35 years, has announced that the Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai has chosen Tadiran’s VoIP solution for its communication needs in its large and dispersed campus.
As a part of this project, Tadiran has installed two Flexicom 6000 systems with two remote shelves at IIT Mumbai, which will be capable of accommodating 5000 users at a time over a coverage area of 6-7 SQ KMS (550 acres).
IIT’s telecom requirements were Voice over IP (VoIP) within the campus Local Area Network (LAN); provisioning soft phones to hostels within the campus for use of students; remote shelf interconnectivity over optical fiber between various parts of the campus; and caller ID on analog stations for internal as well as external calls. There was also the need to connect between two systems over Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) with feature transparency using QSIG - an ISDN based signaling protocol
Speaking on this implementation, Vishal Singh (Country Manager, India), said “We are glad to address the telecommunication challenges faced by IIT Mumbai on their campus. Tadiran’s technology makes it easier to communicate over IP, no matter how far apart the two end points might be, as the world is becoming a global village. ”
The project was completed within 3-4 months at a total cost of Rs 1.5 crore. In addition as apart of this implementation, students of IIT Mumbai have developed their own application which has the capability to be integrated with this system.
M. N. R. Rao, Manager Telecommunication, IIT Mumbai, said, “The use of this solution has enabled IIT Mumbai to get a comprehensive solution in its large and widely dispersed campus with an excellent level of service at a low cost by using IP as the media for communications. The system also enables us to support Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phones. We are extremely happy with the performance of the whole infrastructure."
