Dear All, We have a customer who is opening a new office in Dubai and we know that VoIP is blocked over there. Has anyone a solution to getting VoIP back out (we want interoffice calls back to the UK)? We we're thinking of IAX trunking, but not sure if that is blocked or just SIP etc. A VPN works, but is not great. We have seen: http://www.speed-voip.com/voiceguard.html At the moment it is a very small satellite office with one user, but will be bigger soon. Ideally, some kind of embedded * product that can also provide ADSL connectivity would be perfect. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- http://www.suretecsystems.com/services/openldap/

As in a "great firewall of Dubai" (akin to the great firewall of China)? I didn't know they were doing that over there.> A VPN works, but is not great.Interesting. I wouldn't dream of carrying business voice over the open Internet any more than I'd allow business data over the open Internet. IOW, a VPN would (should) be a requirement, not an impediment. b. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The big issue is not getting around it. (IAX seems to work afaik) but the legal status. Meaning, if you risk going to jail over it, will you still consider it ? :) Zoa Gavin Henry wrote:> Dear All, > > We have a customer who is opening a new office in Dubai and we know > that VoIP is blocked over there. > > Has anyone a solution to getting VoIP back out (we want interoffice > calls back to the UK)?

Thanks for the reminder though. -- http://www.suretecsystems.com/services/openldap/
