Now you can see Avaya, a US based company, in India. It is marketing its Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services to enterprises in India, in view of the increased usage and implementation of Internet Protocol (IP) telephony in the Indian corporate community.

So far this year, its efforts have produced fruitful results. The company already has shipped more VoIP solutions in India than conventional phone systems.

The success of Avaya in the field of market is all because of VoIP-friendly Indian legislation. According to Lawrence Byrd, Director, Avaya IP Telephony and Mobility, this transformation from landline to VoIP is occurring because the new technology has definite benefits for both the common man and businesses.

VoIP is portable, which means that calls can be placed using a 'softphone' on a laptop or pocket computer.

This technology has made communicating with people living abroad cheaper and more affordable. I think India needs to thank its lucky stars once again!!
