We have a Siemens Hipath 3500 exchange with several optipoint telephones.<br />
<br />
We have been using an analogue VTX1000 for conferencing but it is unreliable for setting up 4 way calls despite the Hipath having the current firmware.<br />
<br />
Should we look at an IP conference call, and if so, what model or will something like these Konftel units,50 or 60W, attached to a basic IP phone work well?<br />

IP Conference telephone

IP telephony (Internet Protocol telephony) is a general term for the technologies that use the Internet Protocol's packet-switched connections to exchange voice, fax, and other forms of information that have traditionally been carried over the dedicated circuit-switched connections of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Using the Internet, calls travel as packets of data on shared lines, avoiding the tolls of the PSTN. The challenge in IP telephony is to deliver the voice, fax, or video packets in a dependable flow to the user.

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.
