VoIP
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a
technology for transmitting voice communications over the Internet.
VoIP technology enables the transmission of ordinary
telephone calls, faxes, and other voice communications over
the Internet with no loss in functionality, reliability or
quality. The data and voice information is sent in digital
packets rather than over the traditional circuits of the public
telephone network.
Many businesses
considering the implementation of VoIP are interested in a
way to tie together a traditional telephone network with a
data network that has the capability of carrying both data
and voice.
There are several
advantages to using VoIP technology. Using a single network
for both data and voice simplifies network administration by
centralizing control. Changes, add-ons, and moves are
typically easier and less costly. In addition, using a
single network eliminates
the need for an independent voice network and extends the
utility of the existing data network.
Businesses that need to communicate with remote offices or telecommuters or
place many long-distance calls can see significant dollar savings using VoIP. The ability to bypass
traditional long-distance circuits, to extend
features and functionality, and to make use of the already-paid-for Internet data connection can generate
significant return on investment.
