The VPT1000 is not a simple audio device but rather a next generation full end user H.323/SIP gateway and USB phoneset in one.

The VPT1000 has been tested with numerous networks including Free World Dialup(FWD), IConnecthere, Addaline, Go2Call, Totaltalk, Globalphone, WorldCall and many others.  For clarification, there are no softphones or dialers involved in placing calls. Just place and receive calls as you normally would from your regular home or office telephone.

The product works well with Cisco, Asterisk and other popular gateways, gatekeepers and proxy servers. The VPT1000 supports both incoming and outgoing calling and is designed to deliver a regular phone call experience. No additional router or hub equipment is required.

The VPT1000 works all types of Internet connections - dialup modems, leased lines, DSL, cable modems and LANs - and also works with AOL accounts. To ensure the highest call quality possible, the PC Phoneset incorporates the very latest echo cancellation and dynamic jitter management technologies.

The VPT1000 is a self powered phone that plugs into an available USB port on a PC or laptop computer and uses next generation hardware drivers that may easily be programmed with the user's account details along with the required gateway, gatekeeper or proxy server details.

For volume rollouts, the VPT1000 may be preconfigured with your own default configuration giving the customer a simple plug and play experience. The customer will simply enter their account details at the time of placing their very first call and then use it like any regular telephone.

To complete the vision, the VPT1000 may also be placed in manual mode and used as a simple audio device for use with popular communication programs such as Windows Messenger, NetMeeting, etc...
