What is VoIP?Heard about VoIP but not really sure what all the fuss is about? Read on to discover the incredible benefits and how VoIP can save your business $1000’s. With VoIP technology, you can:
How does VoIP work? VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is simply "Voice", or a normal phone call, going across the internet instead of traditional Telstra phone lines. Normal phone calls are sent across copper wire (PSTN) or digital (ISDN) phone lines that Telstra has laid out across Australia. When you make a call your voice travels across these wires to your destination. VoIP phone calls are different because you don't need cables - you just need an internet connection. How does it actually happen? When you send an email to a friend the content is broken down by your computer and sent in 1000's of little bits and pieces, like an email jigsaw. When your friend opens up your email, their computer reassembles the data jigsaw so your friend can actually read it. This is how data is sent across the internet. Now VoIP is exactly the same. Your computer, or the phone system, breaks your voice up into these bits of data and treats them the same as your emails. This is why anywhere you can get your email you can get a VoIP phone call. VoIP TelephonesThere are three different types of VoIP phone systems:
VoIP PBX Hybrid – as a hybrid system you can use any combination of digital and/or VoIP handsets. Either type of handset works perfectly. Most clients opt for digital handsets as they are more reliable and cheaper, and then use VoIP phone handsets for remote users or those that work from home. VoIP PBX Hybrid solutions let you combine your current phone system’s technology with the added benefits of VoIP functionality. It also means that you can still use normal PSTN, ISDN or Primary rate phone lines as well as SIP trunking. The other benefit of VoIP PBX Hybrid is you are never exclusively reliant upon your data network for communication (i.e. if your internet is down for any reason, you will still be able to make phone calls and conduct business). All the leading phone system brands offer hybrid solutions as this is the most popular option. Independently Controlled VOIP IP PBX– Maintain the normal phone lines that are already installed in your site and operate VOIP through new IP handsets (not digital). You control everything from your main telephone equipment (the controller that is on your premises). It works with PSTN, ISDN, Primary rate or SIP trunking. The downside to this system is that the additional costs of purchasing IP handsets can make it a more expensive option than VoIP PABX hybrids. VOIP IP PBX –VoIP only phone system which connects your IP handsets via the internet to a controller at another location and then to the call destination. You don’t need any main equipment (or controller) in your office like traditional phone systems and everything is managed by the phone call supplier. The downside is that because there are no normal phone lines and you don’t control your own phone system - if your internet goes down then technically, so does your phone system. The benefit of an IP PBX is that you will only pay for virtual VoIP lines from VoIP carriers. This means you can eliminate your PSTN & ISDN phone line rentals and save a great deal of money!
