VoIP Telephony

Business and Residential Business VoIP providers

VoIP requires a high-speed internet connection. If you don't already have a provider, we've got you covered! The average bandwidth needed per voice channel is 64k. Some providers use a compression algorithm and can reduce it to 32k, others need 128k. QoS is key ( Quality of Service ). This may appear like "I always expect a high quality service" but directly relates to the prioritization of Voice traffic over internet demands like surfing, sending emails or video conferencing. QoS will ensure voice has the highest priority. The best way to ensure this is a MPLS Network.

Voice over IP telephony is a category of hardware and software that enables people to use the Internet as the transmission medium for telephone calls by sending voice data in packets using IP rather than by traditional circuit transmissions of the PSTN. One advantage of VoIP is that the telephone calls over the Internet do not incur a surcharge beyond what the user is paying for Internet access, similar to the way you don't pay for sending individual e-mails over the Internet with each occurrence.

VoIP

Short for Voice over Internet Protocol. VoIP also is referred to as Internet telephony, IP telephony, or Voice over the Internet (VOI).

PSTN

Short for Public Switched Telephone Network, which refers to the international telephone system based on copper wires carrying analog voice data. This is in contrast to newer telephone networks base on digital technologies, such as ISDN and FDDI.

Telephone service carried by the PSTN is often called plain old telephone service (POTS).

The science of translating sound into electrical signals, transmitting them, and then converting them back to sound; that is, the science of telephones. The term is used frequently to refer to computer hardware and software that performs functions traditionally performed by telephone equipment. For example, telephony software can combine with your modem to turn your computer into a sophisticated answering service. Voice mail is another popular telephony application.
