IP everywhere... for common user experience

Previously voice, data and entertainment services were carried over separate networks that employed different network technologies that did not interconnect easily. This represented a barrier to seamless and flexible communications for customers.

TELUS recognizes the tremendous potential of bringing all services onto one common network technology and expanding the boundaries of application and service possibilities. The Internet Protocol (IP), the protocol that is the foundation of the Internet, is the network technology that makes it possible.

TELUS' IP Everywhere strategic technology thrust is establishing IP as the common ubiquitous network for TELUS' various services, be it voice, data or video services. The result is power, flexibility and a common experience for customers for all their communications needs, wherever they are.

TELUS is acting to transform our networks and services from traditional circuit-based infrastructure to leading edge IP technology and to translate the advantages of IP into benefits for its customers and shareholders.

Benefits to TELUS and our shareholders include simpler more cost efficient networks to build and operate, service advantage and differentiation, and new growth opportunities.

Benefits to customers include new advanced applications, multimedia and integrated services, content management, more flexible and personalized services, and seamless information flow between different applications and services.
