What is Voice over IP?

Simply put a method of making and receiving calls through a data network. The "IP" refers to "Internet Protocol" and is a techy phenomenon describing how computer data is represented at a low level.

All you really need to remember is whichever route the data you send / receive through email and the internet etc is the same route voice data takes. It's a bit like taking a tree, chopping it up into logs, putting it onto several trucks and driving it to point B.

The logs are voice and the trucks are IP packets. When transported to point B they are reconstructed to form the message from the speaker and visa versa.

Next we'll move on to how voice traffic through VoIP relates to the "normal" voice network. The differences make business continuity uses quite attractive.

I think people are waking up to VoIP and begining to understand how they can save money.

In this blog I've focused on how to use VoIP to enhance business practices.
