One San Francisco hotel's experience installing a gateway-based VoIP system. White Star is a large hotel located in US’s West Coast serving guests coming from Asia, Europe, Latin America and US. With a majority of its customers being business persons, there is a large volume of long-distance and international phone calls made from the hotel which are routed in the traditional telephone network (PSTN).A feasibility study on VoIP was carried out and concluded with the following two main points:

• Rates for VoIP calls charged by Savytel represent a large saving, compared to the rates charged by the traditional telephone service providers
