Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology is, oddly enough, nothing new. The technology and principles behind it have been in operation since 1973. But even with these surprisingly old beginnings, it took a lot of time, refinement and development to take VoIP from the early days to the technological powerhouse that we it to be today.
It's hard to understand VoIP without understanding the benefits behind it. VoIP offers a variety of benefits not commonly available to normal phone systems. The obvious benefit is perhaps its most attractive: cost savings. Thanks to the use of an Internet connection (the IP in VoIP), much of the infrastructure required to connect calls is removed.
This makes the connection less expensive to establish, and thus allows companies to offer connections at much, much lower rates over the alternative. Long distance calling, in many cases, comes for just one price per month, while even international calling can be had at a similar price structure, or failing that, an extremely low per-minute charge.
Beyond cost, there are other valuable benefits, including new features like find-me-follow-me that allow calls to be received at several different phones at once, as well as phone portability and service mobility, which are terrific elements for disaster planning as well. The phone can, essentially, stay on even in the worst situations, as long as somewhere nearby, Internet and power can be had. Read More
