Advantages of VoIP and how it works

VoIP is a technology that makes internet media to be able to carry out voice communication over long distances directly.
Which means VoIP can make us connected by only using the internet network, whether it be in the form of voice or even in the form of video.

In VoIP communication, the user makes a telephone connection through a terminal in the form of a PC or regular telephone. By making calls using VoIP, there are many advantages that can be taken, including in terms of cost, it is clearly cheaper than traditional telephone tariffs, because IP networks are global. So that international relations can be reduced by up to 70%. In addition, maintenance costs can be reduced because the voice and data networks are separate, so IP Phones can be added, moved and changed. This is because VoIP can be installed in any ethernet and IP address, unlike conventional telephones which must have a separate port in the Central or PBX (Private branch exchange).

The simplest form of a VoIP system is two computers connected to the internet. The basic requirements for establishing a VoIP connection are a computer connected to the internet, a sound card connected to a speaker and a microphone. With the support of special software, both computer users can connect to each other in a VoIP connection. The form of the relationship can be in the form of exchanging files, sounds, images. The main emphasis in VoIP is the connection between the two in the form of voice.

In its development, VoIP connection system has evolved. The form of equipment has also developed, not only in the form of interconnected computers, but other equipment such as ordinary telephones connected to the VoIP network. A digital data network with a gateway for VoIP allows connecting to a PABX or a regular analog telephone network. Communication between computers and planes (extension) in the office is possible. The form of communication is not just voice. Can be in the form of writing (chat) or if the network is large enough it can be used for Video Conference. In a more advanced form of communication, it is better known as IP Telephony which is a form of multimedia communication as a continuation of the form of voice communication (VoIP). The flexibility of VoIP in the form of networks, equipment and communication media makes VoIP quickly popular in the general public.
