AT&T Voice Over IP (VoIP) Services

AT&T's network connection to the track side also means the team can benefit from the latest Voice over IP (VoIP) technology, allowing voice telephone calls to travel over the same network as the data files. This means the cost of separate voice lines can be avoided saving costs and complexity.

"We also benefit by being connected to the teams central PBX at our HQ" explains Chris Taylor, Williams IT Manager. "Our telephone extensions from the factory can literally 'follow' us anywhere in the world, meaning that the numerous calls between the pit lane, team motor home and garage back to Oxford are simply internal calls on our own network, avoiding expensive foreign call charges.

As you can imagine, with around 10 extensions being used at each venue there is a high volume of calls back and forth to the UK over a race weekend. Using the VoIP service can mean a considerable cost saving.

We simply log on to our own individual extension and have all the benefits of access to our desktop phone such as voice mail, internal directory and calling features such as three way calling and call divert."
