What is IP Telephony?

IP telephony is that aspect of communication that is carried out over the internet.  IP telephony describes the bigger picture of all telephone based internet telecommunications. VoIP is a subset that describes those internet telecommunications that are a voice transmission.  By taking advantage of IP telephony, the user can combine voice, data, video, and multimedia technologies into one unified system that is digitally based. 

Voice over Internet Protocol

VoIP allows users to access the internet rather than conventional telephone platforms to make calls by converting sound into data bits called “packets.”  

With VoIP one network can simultaneously support voice, data and video.  One of the results is that distance and location no longer matter since the calls are conducted over broadband internet.  

There is little up front investment and a variety of features are available.

Some things to consider

It’s important to remember that VoIP is susceptible to the same occasional outages that occur to data networks making your voice capability dependent on a highly reliable internet connection.  Also, while the low initial investment is attractive, the expense of a long term contract offsets whatever the cost of a telephone system would be where the features  are already built-in.

VoIP Enabled Telephones

Do you need to link your offices together?  Do you have more than one remote location? Do any of your employees telecommute?

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

 (SIP), is a powerful and efficient communications protocol which can be used to send multimedia messages to multiple parties – allowing people around the world to communicate over the internet using their computers and mobile devices.

  A major difference between VoIP and SIP is their scope. VoIP is not a discrete technology in its own right. Rather, it is actually a family of technologies used within modern telecommunication networks, whereas SIP is a signalling protocol used within the VoIP umbrella.

SIP trunk lines can be a cost-effective alternative to traditional Primary Rate Interface (PRI) lines.
