Communication is a big part of business. It builds the collaborative space needed to efficiently get work done and provides the platform in which to handle any and all customer concerns. In today’s blog we are going to go through all the things that makes Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) one of the most valuable pieces of technology any organization can implement.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a technology that allows you to make voice calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular phone line. Here's a basic overview of how it works and what you need to know:

How VoIP Works

Here are the core functions of a VoIP platform:

  • Digitizing Voice - Your voice is converted into digital data.
  • Data Packets - This digital data is broken into packets.
  • Transmission - The packets are sent over the internet.
  • Reassembly - The packets are reassembled into audio at the receiving end.

Components of VoIP

Now let’s look at some of the tools used by a VoIP system:

  • IP-based phones - Special phones designed for VoIP that look like regular phones but connect to the internet.
  • VoIP adapters - Devices that allow traditional analog phones to connect to a VoIP network.
  • Softphones - Mobile-based phone apps that run on a computer or smartphone.
  • VoIP service provider - A company that provides VoIP services, often including phone numbers and call routing.

Advantages of VoIP

VoIP provides a lot of advantages for businesses. They include:

  • Cost savings - Lower costs compared to traditional phone services, especially for long-distance and international calls.
  • Flexibility - Can use VoIP from anywhere with an Internet connection; including with a smartphone from an associated app.
  • Additional features - Includes features like call forwarding, voicemail, caller ID, conference calling, etc.
  • Scalability - Easy to add new lines and features as needed without extensive infrastructure changes.
