"The security and integrity of our network is absolutely paramount and this extends to voice services, especially with VoIP over SIP trunks. ViBE addresses our concerns by routing all traffic over a VPN as part of its operation thereby reassuring us that our network security is not compromised." Tim Ormrod IT Manager Discover Leisure plc

About ViBE

ViBE appliances are installed behind existing routing equipment ensuring a simple and straightforward installation and commissioning process (It is also possible to install ViBE enabled routing equipment if preferred). ViBE appliances work in point-to-point situations or in conjunction with an authorised Service Provider offering ViBE enabled services.

ViBE ensures that all call traffic is prioritised thereby reducing existing latency on the line and improving user experience and overall call quality. ViBE delivers not only increased bandwidth utilisation and improved security, but also total resilience for ViBE enabled links by using secondary bandwidth routing (thereby ensuring that no calls are lost). ViBE is also capable of utilising "Vibe Link Bonding" (VLB) combining multiple broadband connections to deliver solutions to clients where bandwidth is restricted or greater resiliency is required.

"ViBE means we can improve and grow our business communications without having to worry about the normal capital expenditure and infrastructure requirements for traditional telecoms equipment" Tim Ormrod IT Manager Discover Leisure plc
