Voice over
Internet Protocol (VoIP) Communication
What
is VoIP?
-
VoIP tranfers
voice through IP packets over the Internet. VoIP can use
special hardware or a PC environment to achieve this purpose.
How
does VoIP work?
-
A number of
years ago we discovered that sending a signal to a remote
destination could be done digitally. VoIP works by
digitalizing voice in data packets, sending and reconverting
them in voice. Digital format can be better controlled: it can
be compressed, routed and converted to a new better format.
Digital signals are more noise tolerant than
analog signals.
VoIP uses TCP/IP to go from the origination point across the
network to the destination. TCP/IP is an Internet protocol
with a leading IP packet to control communication and the
payload.
The
advantages using Vo IP instead of Public Switched Telephone
Network
-
With a PSTN
line, you typically pay for time you use to the PSTN company.
With VoIP you can talk as long as you want with any person you
want as far away as you want without paying for the time. In
addition, you can talk with many people at the same time.
The major advantage of VoIP and Internet telephony is that it
avoids the tolls charged by ordinary telephone service.
You can also exchange data with people you are talking with
simultaneously, sending images, graphs and videos.
Voice
over IP to Phone Communication
-
Voice over IP
requires a device as a gateway. The gateway receives
packetized voice transmissions from users and then routes them
to other users, utilizing a carrier system interface and then
sends them over the public switched telephone network.
