Intel Heeding Call of VoIP: "Intel itself is piloting what it describes as a leading-edge hybrid VoIP solution at its Parsippany, N.J. site. The chip maker said it would reduce maintenance costs through a reduction in the number of equipment racks and the amount of floor space required to handle its own heavy call volume. When the entire New Jersey site is fully IP-enabled, Intel estimates that MAC (Moves/Adds/Changes) costs will be reduced by 72 percent and floor space for equipment racks will decrease by approximately 89 percent."
