VoIP allows you to make telephone calls using a computer network, 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.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has come of age. Although most people will have heard of it in its consumer entity as Skype, the business version is a lot more reliable with vastly better quality. IP systems offer the stability of a traditional voice solution, but with a greater range of functionalities and cost savings.

The most important element is it means you can have branch offices or home workers appearing as normal extensions on your voice network, with calls between them all having no charge, as the calls are made over the IP network. This can even apply if your remote workers or branch office are in another country – delivering massive cost savings.

Dataphone’s VoIP solutions all have quality of service built into them which allows multiple conversations to be held at once, without the calls suffering from jitter, where conversations get broken up by short delays.

Key features of VoIP are discussed on our other pages – unified communications, flexible working and presence & availability.
