by any user “linked” with a JANET connected organisation
• JANET Talk is not a telephony replacement and wont integrate with campus kit…but it is SIP
• Supports both public and private users• Based around a desktop client (or a SIP
phone / client) • CODEC and bandwidth can be altered to
reflect connection speeds
