Small Business Voip Phone Systems Are The Future

By Jaclyn Hurley


The fastest way to obtain small business VOIP phone systems is to purchase a Voice Over IP telephone and contact a provider. In essence, this uses exactly the same equipment as newer devices for ordinary calls. It differs only in the fact that the device can communicate on your local network, as well as everywhere in Vancouver, BC and beyond. Installing such equipment consists of a connection using RJ45 connector to the network and its settings. This is usually done through a web interface by typing the IP address assigned by the DHCP server (or static settings in the unit itself).

The reason for the lower price is quite simple. Mobile operators had to build their expensive and expansive networks (laying wires, building transmission stations, etc.). Meanwhile, the VOIP operator uses an already existing network, called (you guessed it) "the Internet". Their costs are so much lower and therefore their prices are far cheaper.

The operators also do not abuse their position. You all know the methods of other operators, most obligations are tethered to long-term contracts, deliberately extremely complicated tariffs, which no one is able to properly understand, dozens of pages long and completely incomprehensible to ordinary people the "General Conditions". These are written with letters on the edge of legibility, all supported by massive advertising, while their especially financial service disadvantages are "tactfully" concealed.

Software is available either for free directly from the service provider, or you can download free-ware or paid products from a number of sites dedicated to such technology. As with the hardware solution, it is necessary to set the login parameters. The computer must also be connected to a sufficiently fast Internet line.

The latest available solution is to use your cellphone as a mediator for the service. Again, there will be a need for additional software and you must still setup your login information. To connect to the Internet, this option will use either Wi-Fi or high speed data transmission networks.

The technology is a digital service and therefore goes about converting analog signals to digital on the side of one party and the opposite conversion from digital to analogue telephony with the other party. This transfer is done via codecs. They are clearly predefined and approved procedures on how to convert analog audio to digital.

They myth about the bad quality of VOIP is also a favorite malicious lie from other, non- Internet based operators. The quality of the phone call, to the greatest extent, depends on two factors. They are the codec used and the throughput or availability of the line. The truth is that the operators use significantly, up to several times, faster codecs than mobile operators.

These codecs used by Voice Over IP provides have significantly less compression and thus the distortion of the call is minimized. The tinny sound familiar from mobile calls to you is non- existent with phone calls over the Internet! When one calls over the Internet, there is also far less risk of overcrowding the lines, something you will have experienced on a cellphone over the festive season.
