What is VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol)?

VoIP is nowadays popular buzzing. It means for Voice Over IP (Internet Protocol) and it can be just a way you speak in the near future. Why are so many people excited about this technology? Avoid most of the costs that come with a traditional telephone line, at least at this point of the game.

This is saving hundreds or even thousands of dollars for some people. Most primary entities that are interested in this technology are large corporations, but can be important for households.

Anyone who used voice chat software is familiar with the problems of latency that spreads with any data transfer involving the Internet; VoIP solves the problem of latency by RTP or log in real time. This protocol ensures that packets arrive in time.

Voice Over IP contains some other benefits including:

  • You can talk to many people at once
  • ability to send other data other than voice (such as files)
  • There are innovations atData transmission and Internet speeds can only improve.

There are a number of devices that can call VoIP. Some are not hardware at all, but software programs that you can install on your computer (for example, Skype).

Traditional telephone networks also see the benefits of offering VOIP services, with national companies such as Verizon and AT&T, which jump on the Woip wagon. Vonage was one of the first widely known companies to offer VOIP services, and is competitively prices with newcomers on the market.

It is assumed that the VoIP market will expand rapidly, while the predicted numbers are rising to millions in a few years. The installation procedure for the aids needed to make these calls is often simple and can be done with a small problem. If you are using a router or other device that may meet a mask or block your IP address you mayhave to make a little more finagling to work it.
