Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is the process by which voice signals are converted into digital packets and transported using Internet Protocol, either through a private network or over the Internet. Businesses are moving to VoIP service for greater accessibility and lower rates.
- VoIP can be much more cost effective than standard telephone service.
- Requires QoS to insure that voice packets are given highest priority.
- VoIP is delivered in three different formats:
- Hosted VoIP Service - VoIP service hosted by the carrier that accesses the PSTN.
- Hardware based VoIP Solution - a solution provided by PBX manufacturers which provides VoIP service between the PBX’s.
- Internet VoIP - VoIP service that works only from computer to computer. The voice signal never accesses the PSTN.
Business VoIP service is ideal for companies with numerous remote locations, or have employees that travel frequently or telecommute. VoIP service is also perfect for companies that want to “centralize” calls from all offices to one location.
