The recent introduction of voice communication over high-speed Internet connections has raised many issues on the effects of this service to the electronic security and life safety industry. In an effort to address these affects, the Canadian Alarm and Security Association (CANASA), Markham, Ontario, completed testing of this service in late February and has published its findings in a detailed report.
The study involved the results of testing using the VoIP connection from a T1 with no traffic and from a residential cable modem at peak service time.
