Voice over Internet Protocol goes by many names: VoIP, IP telephony, Internet telephony, Broadband telephony, Broadband phone and Voice over Broadband, but the method — routing voice conversations over the Internet or any other IP-based network — is the same. VoIP converts the voice signal from your telephone into a digital signal that travels over the Internet and then converts it at the other end so you can speak to anyone with a regular phone number.
The components of a VoIP system are:
- Internet
- Cable/DSL modem
- Phone Adapter
- Personal Computer
- Telephone
- Fax (optional)
There are numerous benefits to VoIP:
- Voice and data integration. Multi-application software will demand the integration of voice and data traffic. It’s an evolution that is inevitable with Web servers that are capable of interacting with voice, data and images.
- Simplified infrastructure. An integrated infrastructure that supports all forms of communication allows more standardization and lesser equipment management.
- Efficiency. The integration of voice and data effectively fills up the data communication channels efficiently and provides bandwidth consolidation.
- Reduced cost. The Public Switched Telephone Network’s toll services can be bypassed with VoIP, which means the cost of long distance calls is reduced.
