U.K. agency rings 1 million daily VoIP calls

VoIP traffic in the U.K.'s Department for Work and Pensions has reached around 1 million per day, according to Telappliant, a London VoIP platform provider. The DWP is the largest government department in the U.K., with a staff of roughly 100,000.

Telappliant reports that 35,000 DWP employees are using the VoIP system at 435 sites around the country. A converged network is being integrated into the system that now supports 24,000 handsets, 4,000 fax machines and various legacy analog devices.

Large-scale enterprise VoIP continues to bust out throughout Europe and North America particularly, setting the stage for the next phase of the telecom evolution--unified communications.
