Voice Over IP (VOIP) with OneManBand
For those of you
already familiar with VOIP technology,
you may skip to the next
section.
What is VOIP?
VOIP allows you to make
telephone calls using a computer network or over a data network
like the Internet. VOIP converts the voice signal from your
telephone into a digital signal that travels over the internet
then converts it back at the other end so you can speak to
anyone with a regular phone number. When placing a VOIP call
using a phone with an adapter, you'll hear a dial tone and dial
just as you always have.
There are also new
personal business exchange (PBX) telephone systems on the market
that utilize VOIP technology, within the inner office structure,
from desktop telephone to the telephone server, where it is then
transferred to either a VOIP service provider or converted to
regular analog telephone signals to be used over normal
telephone lines.
The advantages of using
VOIP technology are simply put, savings on long distance
calls. For instance: A company that has a satellite office
in another state or country, can utilize a VOIP connection
between the distant offices, for communications over the
internet, without having the burden of massive long distance
charges for the calls made between the offices.
One of the most
utilized VOIP technologies in use by home users these days is
Skype. However Skype is relatively a
new kid on the block, compared to VOIP technology in general.
VOIP technology has been around for over 20 years, however it
initially suffered many problems due to inline compression and
bandwidth bottlenecks. Today, with newer compression techniques
and high speed internet availability, VOIP technology has become
a standard that is utilized even by many long distance telephone
companies.
