Show of Hands?• Heard of ?• Made a call over 3G? – Was it a good experience?• Made a call over Wi-Fi? – Was it a good experience?20/01/2012 Microsoft Unified Communications User Group London (MUCUGL) 6

Why Call-via-work is good for you! • Lync is enterprise technology (not Skype) and the expectation is for a VoIP? PSTN? consistent good quality experience – Private Wi-Fi or WAPs that support VoIP QoS are often cost prohibitive and potentially outweigh the benefit of PSTN – public Wi-Fi is often unavailable and over-subscribed – 3G is equally, if not more so, unreliable and often more expressive than PSTN• Voice (and video) over IP for mobile will undoubtedly become a standard in the near future, but not without improvements to public network infrastructure 19/01/2012 Microsoft Unified Communications User Group London (MUCUGL) 7
