Abstract :
Voice over IP (VoIP) services have recently emerged as a low-cost alternative to Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) voice service, and as an attractive solution for voice/data integration in public and private networks. Satellite links already have an increasing portion of their capacities used to carry data packets. Convergence of voice and data is happening not just in terrestrial communication links, but in satellite links as well. With their global coverage and reach to remote areas, satellites are well positioned to enable growth of VoIP services. This paper presents an overview of VIP-TEN and ICEBERGS projects in which the integration of VoIP and satellite links has been addressed
