Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone servicesA Story by Etitel Cloud TelephonyVoice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a technology that allows you to make voice calls using a broadband Internet connection rather than regular phone line.Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a technology that allows you to make voice
calls using a broadband Internet connection rather than regular phone line. The
steps involved in originating VoIP calls are similar to traditional digital
telephony. The only difference is that instead of being transmitted over
circuit-switched-network, the digital information is packetized and transmitted
as IP-packets over a packet-switched-network. PSTN
and mobile network providers It
is becoming increasingly popular for telecommunications providers to use VoIP
telephony over public IP networks to connect switching networks with other
telephony network providers and to interconnect these telephony network
providers with each other. Smartphone’s and Wi-Fi enabled mobile phones may
have SIP clients built into their firmware or be provided as application
download. Corporate
use Because
of bandwidth efficiency and low costs many businesses are migrating from
traditional copper-wire telephone systems to VoIP systems to reduce their
monthly bills. VoIP allows both voice and data communications over a single
network, which reduces the significant infrastructure cost. The VoIP devices
have simple user interfaces, so users can easily make simple system
configuration changes. Types
of VoIP phone services The
VoIP services can be classified into four types: ·
Peer to peer: The communication is done using internet only,
calls do not use the traditional telephone network, the Public Switched
Telephone Network (PSTN). ·
VoIP out:
It is a service where calls can be made from the VoIP network to PSTN. ·
VoIP in: it is a service where the calls can be made
from a PSTN to a VoIP network using a telephone number. ·
Two-way:
it is a service that allows the calls do be made both ways between the VoIP
network service and PSTN service using telephone numbers. Advantages of VoIP
phone services ·
Low cost: This
technology provides large financial savings. It happens because, there exists
only one network carrying the voice and data of only one supplier. ·
Portability: The main feature of VoIP is that unlike the
traditional telephonic services it is distance and location independent. You
can be calling 1000 miles away and it doesn’t make any difference in terms of
connectivity and cost. Disadvantages
of VoIP phone services ·
Emergency calls: Traditional phone equipments can trace your
location. However, because a VoIP call is transfer of data between two IP
addresses and not physical addresses there is no way of determining where your
VoIP call is originating from. ·
Security:
The most prominent security issues of VoIP calling are identity and service
theft, viruses and malware, denial of service, spamming and phishing attacks. All these disadvantages will be overcome in
time. There is a lot of work being done to increase the reliability and usefulness of
VoIP phone services.
