| Voice
Over Internet Protocol, more commonly known as 'Voice Over IP' or
just 'VOIP' is the telecommunications technology of the future.
Current phone
lines work by sending signals down a dedicated 'circuit-switched'
phone line. VOIP encodes voice calls digitally so that they can
be transmitted over the internet or any other IP network.
For a lot of
users, the most obvious application of this will be that, with a
suitable handsdset and an account with a VOIP provider, you will
be able to make calls over a broadband internet connection without
incurring the call charges associated with traditional networks.
A key business
application will be the ability to make effectively free calls between
offices.
Voice Over IP
is still in its infancy. However Digital Lines servers have full
VOIP capability and we are able to offer innovative and cost effective
solutions for this emerging technology.
