This can support all of your voice & information needs for your company & provides a Quality of Service (QoS) such that your voice packets get higher priority than your information packets in the work of high traffic times. A giant switch connects the router to your Local Area Network (LAN) & any IP based tool can then be connected to the switch whether it be a computer, an IP phone, or an ATA & a regular analog phone.
