Texas A&M, Internet2 Create VoIP Center

released December 01, 2003

Texas A&M University and Internet2 agreed recently to create the first Internet2 Voice over IP Technology Evaluation Center (ITEC).

Voice over IP (VoIP) opens up a wide spectrum of opportunities to improve voice services, with the potential to advance voice far beyond plain-old telephone service. VoIP also creates a whole new set of security challenges. The Texas A&M ITEC will focus on VoIP security, assurance, and interoperability, guiding the Internet2 community as it seeks to realize the potential of VoIP and address its challenges.

The center will perform testing, research and development of voice over IP technologies as well as share those results with other Internet2 partners.

Internet2 is a consortium led by more than 200 universities, working with industry and government to develop and deploy advanced Internet applications and technologies.
