SOHO General Articles Article 4Using Voice over IP Phone Systems
|
VOIP technology has been around for over five years and its simply a phone system and an internet system both using the same line to communicate with a customer or view a web-site. The technology integrates the passing of voice and data through the same internet line. When you buy a VOIP system, you will receive a specialized modem to hook to the back of your computer. What this modem does is decode whether you are calling a telephone device or if you are trying to view web pages on the internet. This device is called a VOIP hub. The hub sends out a signal over the internet that tells the network whether it is a voice or data call transmission and sends the information accordingly. There are skeptics that say that some transmissions arent clear and precise and that there is downtime associated with these systems but it depends on the part of the country that youre in and fiber optic technology. Many big cities have the fiber optic technology to run clear streams of VOIP so its really not a problem. Many phone companies have started to provide VOIP as an alternative to regular phone and internet service bundles. They see the growth and importance of a VOIP set, with lower costs so many people are switching to a more dedicated service. Vonage is a big player in integrated voice and data systems but you may want to check out their track record before installing these systems for your own SOHO. VOIP is the wave of the future in which internet, voice and high speed data can be on the same line. About The Author: Deon Melchior is the Editor and Publisher of Article Click.
