British Government Moves to IP Telephony with Siemens

Siemens Information and Communication Networks (ICN) and Global Crossing will supply an IP telephony solution serving more than 110,000 public sector personnel in the U.K. in over 550 locations. The project is described as a first step towards ultimately migrating government users to a fully converged IP VPN communications solution. The deployment will use Siemens' HiPath technology, providing the ability to use any device, in any location to gain the functionality of the desk phone. Financial terms were not disclosed. http://www.siemens.com/hipath
