Why Choose VoIP:   Why VoIP

What is VoIP

Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a protocol that enables transmission of speech over the internet or other IP packet-switched networks.

VoIP converts the voice signal from a telephone into a digital signal that travels over the IP Network, then converts it back at the other end. Now widely accepted, VoIP technology is being rapidly deployed and is now a core part of all new telephone systems.

The technology is continually being extended to integrate with the new Web 2.0 Internet that exists today.

Competitive Features

VoIP is undoubtedly the future of telephony, now offering capability, flexibility, quality and resilience that are a far cry from the limitations of earlier systems.

Many features and advantages make it the ideal business solution:

• VoIP provides a lower cost alternative to the traditional networks
• Call costs for businesses systems are substantially lower than ISDN
• VoIP is scalable on an individual channel basis and extra phones can be added without additional telephone cabling.
• For multi-site organisations all internal phones can be on the same network, so calls between sites within the organisation are potentially toll free.
• Number portability is assured and simple, even when moving long distance.
• Disaster recovery is fast, with same day line switching to an alternate location
• Conference calling, call forwarding and caller ID are all low-cost features.
• Integration with other services such as voicemail, email and SMS is straightforward.
• Advanced features such as videoconferencing are easier and cheaper to implement.
• Advanced DDI offers comprehensive management and analysis tools
• Emergency services are supported
• VoIP is ideally suited all businesses, and higher volume customers financially benefit even further, as the capacity requirements increase without linear increase in connectivity charges

The Bottom Line

VoIP technology has now matured to offer comparable if not more dependability than traditional ISDN-type services. This, combined with low lifetime cost and fast ROI, is presenting decision makers with an overwhelmingly compelling business case.
