Critical Telecom Infrastructure Convergence
Through aggressive marketing by IP (Internet Protocal) vendors, general market perception is that convergence is synonymous with IP. In a recent article in TMC Internet Telephony, author Tony Rybczynski defines convergence as follows: “Network convergence is the act of bringing voice, data, and video onto an IP, Ethernet, or optical network. Enterprises striving for uniformity have focused on the IP protocol suite, as the protocol of choice for networking and applications, spurred largely by the Internet and by the economics of having fewer protocols to manage.” This article and others like it suggest that IP is the protocol of choice: we believe that many I.T. professionals take this to mean that IP is the only choice. In fact, for certain applications, it’s definitely not the best choice.
We define convergence a bit differently: “Network convergence is the migration of technologies from legacy based voice and data to IP based technology. This will be a gradual transition characterized by consolidation and optimization of existing network infrastructure where users will need to support a mixture of technologies on a common platform.”

Bayly partner Applied Innovation focuses on delivering solutions that ease the difficulties associated with getting information from equipment at a remote site or delivering information to the remote site.
