Centrally situated VoIP
The invention relates to a switch or router ( 10 ) connected to and centrally situated adjacent to a voice over Internet protocol box ( 22 ) in a premise connected in a broadband network standard. It comprises an interface ( 14 ) to a category infrastructure for distribution of data to flats and offices in premises. The category infrastructure ( 12, 16 ) comprises four twisted wire pairs to every flat and office, whereby two pairs are utilized by the broadband standard. Voice over Internet is connected through a first cable interface ( 50 ) with multiple connections, and a second cable interface ( 60 ) connected and wired together in a registered jack ( 18, 52 ) with a category infrastructure. Two of the wire pairs ( 62 ) provide two voice over Internet protocol subscription possibilities to every flat and office and two of the broadband connections ( 64 ).
1. A switch or router having voice over Internet protocol box circuitry comprising:
a switch or router connected to and centrally situated adjacent to a voice over Internet protocol box in a premise connected in a broadband network standard, comprising:
an interface to a category infrastructure for distribution of data to flats and/or offices in a premise, said category infrastructure comprising four twisted wire pairs to each flat and/or office;
the voice over Internet protocol box being connected to said switch or router through a broadband connection and connected to a connector for providing voice over Internet through a first cable interface with multiple connections connecting to said connector;
a second cable interface connected to said connector and wired together in a registered jack with the category infrastructure emanating from said switch or router; and
said four twisted wire pairs leading from said interface to the category infrastructure, thus conveying two voice over Internet connections to an outlet in said premise, serving each flat and/or office from said voice over Internet box centrally situated position utilizing two of said four twisted wire pairs to provide two voice over Internet protocol subscription possibilities to each flat and/or office and the other two twisted wire pairs for broadband connection.
2. The switch or router according to claim 1 , wherein said voice over Internet control box has circuitry connected to each output port of a patch panel.
3. The switch or router according to claim 1 , wherein said voice over Internet control box circuitry is limited to a specific number of telephony connections which is less than the number of output ports connected to a patch panel by estimation of the total number of flat and/or offices, which simultaneously are making calls.
