Basics of VoIP in Layman’s Language
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has been the buzz word in the communication
arena for a while and yet laymen find the term to be too technical. In fact
VoIP is similar to the traditional telephone systems with an advanced technology
that makes it cheaper and more effective with the help of computer networks.
VoIP uses the existing network world wide to provide better communication
facilities at much lower costs. Earlier methods of communication with computer
accessories and internet connection required both the parties to be online.
Today it is possible to integrate the traditional telephone system to the
IP telephony and so that you can connect with any traditional phone user
at low costs.
When you subscribe for VoIP services, there is no need for an additional
telephone line. You will be provided a phone number as well as other benefits
including unlimited incoming and out going calls at one cheap rate. You
also get the other advanced features, such as voice mail, caller ID, call
waiting, and the like that a conventional telephone system offers.
The process of VoIP is simple your computer program converts the analog
voice signals received from the microphone into digital format and sends
them via Internet Protocols IP as packets only to be reversed in the opposite
end. All you need to use this advanced technology is a subscription to VoIP,
a computer with headphones and microphones, and basic knowledge of the interface.
