VoIP Analysis 1/21/10

FIP met with Telephone Group and confirmed closing out the FIP project analysis task. FIP will work with Telephone Group on implementing VoIP in both the WDCE and R-SC projects. The R-SC project may be first VoIP implementation rather than WDCE due to timing of the projects. The WDCE project design and bid process was not completed in the fall of 2009 by Central Facilities as anticipated, thus start of construction for WDCE will not begin until Summer of 2010 and a VoIP implementation not until late winter 2010 or Spring 2011. VoIP implementation in the R-SC project is anticipated in the fall of 2010. A tentative anticipated timeline for initial VoIP migration activities is;
  • Pre-requisite PBX software release upgrade late Spring 2010
  • Pre-installation planning Spring /Summer 2010
  • Installation VoIP in Rockville Science Fall 2010
  • Installation VoIP in WDCE at Takoma Park Winter 2010
