Voice over IP (VoIP) is the telephone system of the future. Problem is, VoIP is not yet widely deployed, so there are few skilled practitioners today. As you make your move to VoIP, how will you know how to make VoIP work and keep it working well? What changes will you need to make without disrupting your business? How can you show your return on this investment?

Many books contain technical details about VoIP, but few explain in plain language how to make it run successfully in an enterprise. Taking Charge of Your VoIP Project provides the detailed plans you need to be successful in your organization’s deployment of VoIP. Through their years of work in the field, authors John Q. Walker and Jeffrey T. Hicks bring a project-oriented approach to VoIP, with much-needed clarity on getting VoIP to work well.

Taking Charge of Your VoIP Project starts with simple concepts, each chapter building on the knowledge from the last. Although not a technical manual, you learn about the standards, such as H.323, G.711, and Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP), and the implications they have on your VoIP system. Most importantly, you’ll gain expert advice and a systematic guide on how to make VoIP work for your organization.

This volume is in the Network Business Series offered by Cisco Press. Books in this series provide IT executives, decision makers, and networking professionals with pertinent information on today’s most important technologies and business strategies.

Q&A: Is VOIP (voice over internet protocol) phone-service just as good as service from your local phone company?

Question by tomk_773: Is VOIP (voice over internet protocol) phone-service just as good as service from your local phone company?
Will be making the switch soon, and thought I’d ask to see if others have had either good or bad experiences w/it..

Best answer:

Answer by Roger Vadim
I use VoIP for the past 5 years and love it!! you can’t beat the price…!

before you do anything…go to DSLReports.com and do some research. If you already have a provider in mind check them out, having a good stable Internet is a key component!

I use Packet8 for over 5 years now and I’m very happy! I use a VoIP Panasonic DECT 6.0 phone…..with build-in router/firewall and 6 extensions, one of them a blue-tooth flip-phone!

I also use the MagicJack for the past year…….so far….so good!

bear in mind….if you sign up with any VoIP provider and port over your number, you will not get back your old number if you cancel the service……and most cancellation frees really stick….like 69 + dollars…!

its a law now to port your number for cell and land-line providers, but not for VoIP!! some do and some don’t….!

you have to go on-line and fill out on on-line application to get E911 which is 1.99 a month now…but with the MagicJack its free, and it work too…..I’ve tried it out several times!

YES. SET THE CONNECTION UP.

Best answer:

Answer by Voip Guy
I use VOIPO with cable and a wireless router.  It works like this…  The internet cable comes into the cable modem.  The network cable comes out of the modem into the VOIPO device.  The network cable comes out of the VOIPO device into my wireless router.  I can use internet anywhere in the house like normal.  Then a phone cable plugs into the VOIPO device and plugs into a wireless phone base.  Now I can use my wireless phone anywhere in the house too, but all calls are VOIP.  Very cool.

Here’s some information and a discount on VOIPO.

A Beginners Guide on Voice Over Ip Termination

When the Internet was introduced some time back, some of the researchers had predicted that it will eventually lead to convergence of communication. This prediction has come true with the emergence of VoIP. Voice over IP termination as it is known among the technical world, sends the voice in the form of data packets via the Internet by converting analog signals into small digital IP packets. The main advantage of this transmission over the internet is that it completely cuts down the need to maintain optical fiber network, thereby cutting down on the cost of infrastructure.

Benefits of VoIP

1. Cheaper calls can be made using voice over IP services.

2. Location independent: one can remain in touch with their business or family no matter which part of the globe they are in.

3. Ideal for Mobile workers and virtual contact centers: Its mobility feature makes it convenient for mobile works and virtual contact centers to carry on their operations efficiently and cost-effectively while on the road.

4. Quality is supreme. So one need not bother about echo effects any more.

5. Reliable and secure: With security being in top focus of the providers, there is nothing to worry about in terms of reliability and safety of information.

6. Ease of service: VoIP calls are made using the traditional phones too; as a result it enhances the way you perform without changing the way you function.

Voice over IP telephony or IP telephony offers hosts of services which make it not just convenient but also feasible for all sectors of the industry to integrate it in their communication structure. These services include:

1. VoIP telephony – VoIP makes calling cost-effective and efficient. The quality of service which was initially a matter of concern has greatly improved, competing with that of the traditional mode of communication at present.

2. VoIP reseller programs – There are few premium VoIP service providers who offer reseller plans making it profitable for resellers to venture into this field with negligible investment and minimum risk. White label and gold are the two kinds of plans on offer. White label gives them the advantage of operating VoIP services under their own brand name.

3. Wholesale carrier services – Wholesalers act as a vital link between the service providers and VoIP resellers. They are required to set up the infrastructure needed to route the calls, namely – gateways, switches etc. With VoIP becoming the hot favorite of one and all, wholesalers have a lot to look forward to in terms of revenue generation.

4. VoIP Business solutions – VoIP providers offer a complete business solution to take care of the changing needs of the business houses. They are ideal for contact centres, ISP’s and corporates. They help in providing a cheaper way to network, increase efficiency and ultimately increases the profits.

Question by Independent_guy: Voice Over IP Technology for Home Phone – will my Fax Machine Work?
Hi, does it work with a fax machine connected to it? the phone company mentioned “for some people the fax works, for some it doesn’t”.

Voip – Introduction to Voice Over Internet Protocol

Voip – Introduction to Voice Over Internet Protocol

Voice Over Internet Protocol is a relatively new method of sending and receiving telephone calls. Sometimes called IP telephony, internet telephony, broadband telephony broadband phone, or voice over broadband, VOIP technology allows you to make voice calls using a broadband internet connection, rather than a regular (analog) traditional phone line. Basically, it is the routing of voice conversations over the internet or through any other IP-based network.

The main benefit of using VOIP technology is that you can use your internet connection, which you are already paying for, to place long distance calls, completely circumventing local phone companies and their charges. Voice Over Internet Protocol does not carry the same taxes and other fees that local phone companies do.

How does VOIP work?

Traditional analog phone connections use analog technology. Simply put, the technology used in Voice Over Internet Protocol works by converting your voice from this analog signal into a digital signal, which can then be sent over the internet. If you are calling a regular phone, the digital signal is converted back into a traditional analog signal before it reaches the destination.

There are three main methods in which Voice Over Internet Protocol is used:

The most common way in which VOIP is used is with an ATA, or Analog Telephone Adaptor. This adaptor allows your existing phone to be used. The phone is connected to the adaptor, which is then routed through your computer and connected to the internet.

Another common way VOIP technology is being used is through the use of IP phones. These phones are specially designed to be used with a VOIP connection. In most ways, they are very similar to traditional house phones, except that rather than having a traditional phone line connector, the IP phones have an Ethernet connector. These IP phones plug directly into your internet router, bypassing the actual PC itself. The actual computer is then not required to be used with the phone. The necessary technologies are self-contained in the actual phone, and connected to the internet directly through the router.

The third most common method of using VOIP technology is called computer to computer, or PC to PC, calling. This method is entirely free and is not subject to any taxes or fees found with local telephone companies. The only things you need are an internet connection, any necessary VOIP software, a computer, and a microphone and speakers.
