VoIP – Voice Over Internet Protocol
What is VoIP
VoIP, or IP Telephony as it is also known as, facilitates telephone calls to be made across computer networks. be it on a local network or across the Internet. Due to its computerized nature, VoIP can be used not only on IP phones but just as well on computers, smartphones, tablets and a variety of devices specially built for communication services, such as door entry and intercom systems.
Voice over IP has evolved over the past 20-30 years and has been implemented in a variety of ways, using both open and proprietary protocols. In recent years, due to the onset of high speed broadband, more and more of the VoIP protocols have seen an accelerated adoption, leading to a major trend towards integration and replacement of traditional telephony (PSTN).
Why VoIP is Better
The main advantages brought by VoIP telephony are that it can offer a dramatic reduction in costs, greater flexibility of usage and – most importantly for businesses – easy integration with business automation systems. Most modern solutions claim to offer “Unified Communications” systems that bring CRM and ERP integration, portability across various computing platforms as well as text and video integrations, completing a 360 degrees communication coverage for any type and size of business. All of those are possible because of the underlying VoIP technology, implemented in the systems.
