subject: Link Your Devices With Internet Telephones For Business [print this page] Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, line has become an increasingly popular choice for businesses around the globe. A VoIP line offers the services as a regular telephone line and more because the data is transmitted over an internet connection rather than through the traditional PSTN network. In order to make and receive high-quality calls using VoIP a business must have a good broadband connection. Today this is made possible by improved connection speeds and fibre optic broadband and some would argue that it might not be long before VoIP replaces the PSTN network entirely.
There are a few advantages to choosing VoIP for your business. The calls rates are much cheaper, even for international calls and you have the power to make video calls to any location in the world. Since VoIP phones and computers are all running from the same network there are reduced infrastructure costs and many businesses find that they can make use of existing broadband services that are not currently being used to their full potential. Naturally there is more of a risk when running all of your communications over a single network so you will want to ensure that you choose a good service provider with adequate technical support should you run into difficulties.
One of the main attractions of choosing VoIP phones is that you can easily connect the handset with other electrical devices around the building to send messages quickly and efficiently. For example, it is possible to enable your phone to communicate with your desktop PC, laptop, fax machine and printer. This can save a lot of time and resources. If you have a good network system in your business then phones, printers and computers can all be accessed by one another to speed up the process of sending information.
A wired network system tends to be the most powerful and reliable system for business use, however, many businesses benefit from having a good Wi-Fi system in place too. With a Wi-Fi connection users have the ability to move freely within a building, whilst communicating through various devices. Some VoIP enabled mobile phones even have a dual mode feature that will automatically switch from an internal Wi-Fi connection to an external cellular connection without the need to disturb a conversation and end a call. When setting up a Wi-Fi connection in your business it is important to choose a good quality router that ensures a good, strong signal can be received throughout the building.
