2. What are the main advantages for a company to use VoIP, and more particularly softphones ?
  Telephony over the Internet is the next major (r)evolution in telephony, mainly because companies can :

If you are a TELECOM operator:
  • Reduce you operations and maintenance costs
    Softphones are quick to install and only require number allocation. Hence no fixed wired line access reducing time consuming connections or any regular maintenance costs.

  • Offer new services
    Softphones being software based allow you to introduce new services on a per customer or customer group basis and introduce real next generation triple play services, or new business service packages, for new revenue streams.

If you are an ENTERPRISE solution providers, resellers, VARs or an enterprise:
  • Drastically reduce your company communication costs
    This applies for international, national and local calls, with huge tariff reduction. In most cases, calls between employees are FREE of charge.

  • Reduce your roaming cost !
    Place a call from anywhere in the world and pay the same price as if you were placing that call from your home country.

  • Totally remove operational costs
    ... compared to traditional PSTN solutions: adding a new phone user or modifying the company phone numbers allocation plan implies software modification only. That's all.

  • Introduce mobility for your employees
    Equip your employees with a softphone installed on their PDA and on their PC, with a single SIP account. Your employees can then call anywhere in the world ... and be contacted whenever they are on line.

3. More particularly, what are the main advantages to use a softphone versus a featured hard phone ?
  Main advantages of softphones compared to hard phones is that they accentuate cost reduction and introduce more simplicity and flexibility.

  • Accentuate cost reduction
    By using hardware phones, you remain exposed to installation costs and hardware maintenance. With softphones, everything can be done remotely by software and do not need any physical presence for support. For example, you may completely install or upgrade your softphones by remote access.

  • Makes communication much simplier
    Transfer, conference and many other telephony features are very simple to use. No need to read the 50 pages of the User's Manual like those provided with the hardware phones.

  • Takes advantages of the technology
    Use brand new features like instant messaging, video conferencing or message recording for example.

  • Benefit from your corporate information systems
    Only softphones can be easily and seamlessy be integrated with your information systems like your company directories, web portal, groupware and other office applications. For example, place a call directly from Outlook contacts or from a webpage !

4. Does eyeP Media complies to the latest telephony standards ?
All eyeP Media products follow standards defined by ITU or IETF working groups like SIP, SIMPLE and others. This is probably one of the key benefit of our technology, compared to most other solutions using proprietary protocols or technologies, forcing end-users to stay within their own community.

For more information, please consult our list of RFC compliancies
   
5. Which peripherals could be used with eyeP Media products ?
Generally, all peripherals like webcams, headsets, handsets, audio devices, SIP hardphones are supported. All peripheral devices rely on the Operating System layer to communicate through the software driver supplied by the manufacturer. They interface to the OS over a common port like USB, WiFi, BlueTooth, parallel or serial.

If they are recognized and supported by the OS, then eyeP Media products will support the peripheral. However, it might be the case that some particular devices, particularly the handsets, are only partially recognized by the OS. In such case, eyeP Media provides a handset plugin, which allows to redefine the assignment of keys and buttons.

For more information, please consult our list of Peripheral interoperabilities.
   
6. Are there any restrictions to use Chinese language family localization ?
eyeP Media products fully support Chinese family languages localization as we use Unicode characters encoding. For Windows 98 OS versions some restrictions apply due to their lack of Unicode support.
