VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)

VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, which means "voice transmitted over a digital network." VoIP is often referred to as IP Telephony because it uses the latest innovations with the popular and familiar IP protocols to make possible enhanced voice communications throughout the enterprise. IP networking supports corporate, private, public, cable, and even wireless networks. IP Telephony unites an organization's many locations-including mobile workers-into a single converged communications network.

How Does VoIP Work?

VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, means basically what the acronym states: Voice travels over the Internet. When VoIP was first developed, it worked only with the Internet. Today, VoIP operates over most network types, including those used throughout the corporate sector. Protocol refers to the type of rules that the network uses to send and receive signals. These signals are the high and low electrical or optical pulses often represented by the more familiar 1s and 0s of digital networking.

IP Telephony works by converting voice communications into data packets. Conveniently, it runs on the popular Ethernet LAN (local area network) technology, which currently supports over 96 percent of all companies' needs for LANs.
