NeoPhonetics announces the launch of its Network Assessment Tool. Now, any company considering a data VoIP solution can determine whether their cabling, switching and routers, and network bandwidth are VoIP-compatible in a matter of minutes.

The Network Assessment Tool is an educational tool developed with non-technical users in mind. It is a first step in helping businesses determine whether their networks are ready for data VoIP. By answering a few simple questions online, the tool assesses compatibility requirements such as having:

• 80 kilobits of available bandwidth for every concurrent phone call
• Category 5 cabling or better to every VoIP telephone
• Network switches that are Power Over Ethernet, Virtual Local Area Network and Quality of Service capable and configured

Should a business use the tool and determine it would like to pursue an enterprise-grade VoIP system, NeoPhonetics can then provide a full, tailored Network Readiness Assessment.
