Does VoIP Stand for Voice Over Internet Protocol
or Value for Office and Industrial Phones?
By Chick Chickering
Wouldn’t it be great for all your employees to be part of the same telecommunications system—no matter where they are? You can. Even if they are in separate locations—branch, home or international offices—they can transfer calls back and forth seamlessly. Perhaps equal to the efficiency in importance is the fact that you can virtually eliminate phone carrier toll charges at the same time.
Voice over IP (Internet Protocol), in simplest terms, is utilizing the internet to carry voice communications instead of the traditional circuit switched technology that has been in place for well over 100 years.
VoIP technology has been helping businesses integrate their human resources for years. The technology has been tested and is worth investigating for any business that desires to:
-
Integrate branches and home office workers.
-
Reduce or eliminate charges connecting international offices.
-
Present a centralized point of contact through a single common operator and voice mail system.
-
Significantly reduce charges and hardware costs.
-
Increase communication efficiency between the public and employees and employees and each other.
So does VoIP stand for Voice Over Internet Protocol or Value for Office and Industrial Phones? The answer is both.
