From the invention of the telegraph to the emergence of the Internet, the world has evolved and reinvented itself over and again. Technology has always created efficiencies and opportunities. Despite skepticism from some, history shows that every time there was a change for the better, investors and the public realized and followed. The drive for a better life has invariably and inevitably shifted workforces and profits across different industries. Investments were made and revenues collected directly or indirectly with the evolution. The latest trend in the technology world is voice peering, whether between carriers, enterprises or anyone joining to form this new community.
The Voice Peering Fabric ("VPF") was launched in October 2003 to accelerate transmission of digitized voice traffic. Built as a distributed Layer 2 Ethernet network, the VPF has solved many of the uncertainties engineers have had about both security and quality of digitized voice traffic. The VPF is a large and secure private network that enables carriers and enterprises to trade minutes as well as to distribute and acquire access to different applications that are necessary or useful for efficient communications among branch offices and with national and international business clients and partners. It is a global interconnection mechanism, a unified transport infrastructure, and a private grid for voice and telephony communication.
