VoIP Is The Future of Technology
June 4, 2008
What Is VoIP?
VoIP or voice over IP is a way of communicating voice conversation through computer technology and Internet protocols. In the past, phone calls where transfered down lines designated just for phones , which will give you a direct connection from one end to another through specific telephone exchanges. Now with VoIP you can connect to anyone in the world through your Internet connection, without the need of a designated line just for telephone conversations. This means your VoIP phone can keep the same number, regardless of where you are in the world.
Voice Over IP is The Future
Voice Over IP has many advantages over the traditional communication systems. The main advantage, is the fact that VoIP phones are plugged directly into your Ethernet sockets in your business, meaning that anywhere theres an ethernet port, you can have a phone, without the need for an extra socket with seperate wiring. With a VoIP system installed across your multinational corporation, you could then be making telephone calls to many different offices within your company, anywhere in the world, through your VoIP system across your computer network. This makes the calls, effectively, FREE as it all runs through the connections you already have in place for network communication on your client server network!
Where Do I Get a VoIP System
Most companies that offer technological equipment of any kind, would offer helpful advice on where to get Voice Over IP hardware and software. Infact many companies will also fit the system and set it all up ready to go. The company that created my VoIP network was www.hostedtelephonesolutions.co.uk and they ensure all systems are reliable and extremely stable. Ive yet to have a break down in my equipment after 14 months, and I know there is a few people who have bought from untrusted and unknown sources, and had an awful lot of trouble with their system.
