Avaya

The Clayton State University uses an Avaya based Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephone system for all on-campus voice communications. VoIP represents the next generation in communication services. By moving voice services to the data network, Clayton State eliminates a separate, managed voice infrastructure and dramatically reduces the cost of telephone adds, moves and changes. 

VoIP technology converts voice calls from analog to digital to be sent over commodity data networks. This allows the University to use its existing data network to also transport telephone service throughout the campus. VoIP service comes with a variety of features, some inherent to the handset, others which need to be added to the service. All in all, VoIP is a more flexible and functional solution than the former analog telephone system, and is locally managed.  

Benefits
