subject: The Influence Of Business Voip [print this page] VoIP is short for Voice over Internet Protocol. Business VoIP is a technology used in business that allows you to make voice calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular or analog phone line. Some VoIP services just can allow dialers to make voice calls to others who also use the same service. However, other VoIP services may allow dialers to make the local, long distance and international calls to people who have a phone. And some VoIP services just can be used over a computer or a special VoIP phone to make voice calls, while other VoIP services allow dialers to use a traditional phone to connect to a VoIP adapter to communicate with others.
When you make a traditional phone call, your voice is converted into a regular telephone signal that will be transmitted through the telephone lines. After reaching the target phone, the regular telephone signal will be converted again into your voice that can be heard by the receiver. However, when Business VoIP works, the voice of a dialer is converted into a digital signal that travels over the Internet. If you make a phone call over the computer, your voice will be converted by the cable modem and transmitted on the Internet. If you make calls over a special VoIP phone or a traditional phone, your voice will be converted by the phone adapter and then transmitted on the Internet to the destination.
In order to achieve Business VoIP service, there are several equipments you should have. Firstly, a high speed Internet connection is required. So, a cable modem, and high speed services such as DSL or a local area network are needed. Secondly, a computer, an adapter or VoIP phone are required. If you use VoIP service over the computer, some items like software and microphone are needed, too.
There are two main benefits of business VoIP. On the one hand, collaboration is enhanced. It helps the participants communicate with each other and share the information in real time and improves the productivity eventually. On the other hand, a large sum of telephone charges is cut down. As we all know, the telephone charges account for a large proportion of operating costs in the companies. After your company adopts this kind of service, what you need to do is just paying for a broadband connection and the essential equipments.
Now, more and more companies are aware of the value of business VoIP and start to adopt the technology in the daily business operation. In other words, the popularity of business VoIP is growing significantly in the market.
