voice over Internet protocol

What is VoIP?
VoIP is, or Voice over Internet Protocol, a
new form of digital telephone service in
which calls are sent and received over the
Internet.

To utilize Voice over IP phone systems, all


users need is a high speed Internet
connection and a VoIP phone service
provider.

Voice over IP phone services include
unlimited calling and many free
features that you would normally pay
for with a traditional phone
company, such as call waiting, call
forwarding, caller ID, etc.
How do VoIP phones work
compared to a landline phone?

You won’t even notice a difference. When


making a call using your VoIP phone service,
you pick up your phone like normal, dial the
number you want to reach, your phone
connects to the PSTN, and connect using
your internet connection instead of a
traditional circuit board landline.
Traditional landlines work by transferring
analog voice signals over copper wires.

Voice over IP works by converting analog voice


into digital data packets and transmitting it
over the internet.

VoIP is often referred to as IP telephony (IPT)
because it uses Internet protocols to make possible
enhanced voice communications. The Internet
protocols are the basis of IP networking, which
supports corporate, private, public, cable, and even
wireless networks. VoIP unites an organization’s
many locations — including mobile workers — into
a single converged communications network and
provides an unparalleled range of telephony
support services and features .

In the beginning, there was POTS
Before digital networking took off,
everyone had to use the one and only
POTS (or plain old telephone service —
honestly!). POTS runs over a network
called the PSTN, or public switched
telephone network. These POTS
telephone systems use the tried-and-
true method of telephone service
known as circuit-switched.
