This procurement is to provide a central JANET voice service, providing downloadable software 'phone' clients, standards based connectivity, a central register of users and conference bridging facilities. It is envisaged that this will provide a powerful tool for collaboration, offering an increased feature rich environment over more traditional telephony methods.
