What is VOIP?
Voice over Internet Protocol, shortened to VOIP, is group of technologies that deliver voice communications and multimedia sessions over IP networks like the Internet. VOIP works by taking analog audio signals, like those you hear when you talk on the phone, and turns them into digital data that is able to be transmitted over the Internet.
This technology offers many benefits. When you use VOIP, you can take a standard Internet connection and turn it into a “free” phone line. When you use VOIP to make Internet phone calls, you can bypass expensive phone company charges entirely!
With VOIP, there are several ways you can place a call, including
ATA
This is the simplest and most common way to make a call. It works by using an analog telephone adaptor (ATA) to connect a standard phone to a computer or Internet connection. Once connected, analog signals from your phone will be converted into digital data that can be transmitted over the Internet.
IP Phones
IP Phones are a specialized type of phone that looks just like normal phone, including a handset, cradle and buttons. However, instead of using standard RJ-11 phone connectors, IP phones use an RJ-45 Ethernet connector. This means that the phone can connect directly to the router and allow you to place calls. Similarly, Wi-Fi phones allow callers to make VOIP calls from any available Wi-Fi hot spot
Computer-to-computer
The easiest way to make a VOIP call is through the computer. This type offers many advantages, including not having to pay for long-distance calls. All you need is the an Internet connection, the right software, a microphone, speakers and a sound card.
VOIP is truly a revolutionary technology that offers the potential to completely rework the way phone systems currently work. With numerous applications and the potential for even more advancement, this new technology may one day completely replace the traditional phone system. If you are looking for a solution to high phone and calling costs, consider Orange County VOIP Phone options, available through TechHeights.
