In this course, you'll gain an understanding of converged voice and data networks and the challenges faced by various network technologies. Addressing design, planning, and deployment practices, you will gain comprehensive hands-on experience configuring and deploying VoIP networks. In addition to the knowledge and skills required to integrate gateways into an enterprise VoIP network, you'll learn how to build and test a sophisticated IP telephony network that you can use as a template for a real deployment. The course includes a comprehensive full day on Quality of Service (QoS), in which you'll learn to configure QoS to support real-time traffic. Please note the CVOICE - Implementing Cisco Unified Communications Voice over IP and QoS v8.0 certification exam has been retired by Cisco. Global Knowledge still offers this course as self-paced e-learning for skills development. However, if you are interested in Classroom or Virtual Classroom delivery, CSCGW - Cisco SIP, CUBEs and Gateways is the recommended replacement course and features the latest Cisco converged voice and data network technologies with a focus on legacy gateways and router portions of IP telephony.

Network engineers, architects, and support staff who:

• Maintain and configure voice and data network devices
• Are considering various methodologies to implement VoIP
• Require a fundamental understanding of the issues and solutions related to implementation
• Require a fundamental understanding of packet telephony technologies that are common for both enterprise and service provider applications
