What is VoIP?
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) refers to communications over the public internet, rather than the traditional public switched telephone network (PTSN). This is rapidly becoming the most common telecom communication method. Since the copper lines that traditional phone systems required are being phased out, it is advantageous for a business to switch to VoIP as a preemptive measure.
How does VoIP Work?
SIP trunking is the most advanced method business telephone systems use as the highway for call processing. SIP trunking is fundamentally a streaming media service based on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). Often Internet telephony service providers (ITSPs) provision sip trunks for use to business telephone services that use unified communications (UC) to business customers equipped with SIP-based PBX (IP-PBX) systems.
If that sounds complicated to you, then you aren't alone. That is why it is so important to work with a vendor that understands everything that goes into a VoIP communication platform. When configured and managed correctly, VoIP can give your business additional functionality and superior Quality of Service (QoS). We are experts in creating reliable, high-quality, integrated VoIP systems that maximize your business efficiency.

Before switching to VoIP, ask yourself
Can my local network handle it? If your business uses your local area network (LAN) heavily, then a separate network may be the best solution to ensure your Quality of Service (QoS). Do I have enough bandwidth? Bandwidth is the amount of information which your internet connection can send and receive in a certain period of time. We recommend that you have at least 50 Mpbs speed. Do I make long distance calls?Do I currently have PTSN lines? You could save money by canceling your traditional phone lines, but keeping those lines will ensure that you have a failover strategy in the event that the internet is disrupted. What happens if my network goes down?
Should I go to the cloud or stay in the closet?
How much can I budget for a VoIP system?
What is my anticipated ROI? Depending on what decisions you make when switching to VoIP will determine your ROI. Switching to SIP trunks can provide monthly savings, but purchasing new phones can offset those savings. Can I support a VoIP system in-house? Our recommendation is that you not burden your IT department or managers with the implementation and maintenance of a VoIP system. Choosing the right vendor for your business is a critical step.
