VoIP - Voice Over IP - Voice Over Internet Protocol
VoIP allows you to make telephone calls using a computer network, over a data network like the Internet. VoIP converts the voice signal from your telephone into a digital signal that travels over the internet then converts it back at the other end so you can speak to anyone with a regular phone number.
VoIP can be implemented in several ways, from a software program on your computer used with a headset and microphone to adaptors used with regular analogue home phones or you can use dedicated VoIP phones which look and act like regular phones but have specially designed chips to improve call quality.
Above all, the benefits of a VOIP system are that they can dramactically cut costs of calls and indeed telephone systems. Calls between offices or office and homes can be free! Flexibility is gained in that you can take your extension to you, to your other office(s) or make international calls based on bandwidth alone which is much cheaper than regular voice calls.
