VoIP Blazing a New Path for Telecom Written by: Paula Valone, Account Manager, and Emily Kaser, Marketing Coordinator OneVoice Communications
Hosted VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), in definition, is an emerging set of applications that allows the user to make phone calls over broadband or dedicated internet connection. Over the past decade, VoIP has become more popular and has replaced traditional telephone systems because of its mobility, variety of features, and its cost. In comparison to traditional phone systems, VoIP systems only require: a device to accept and make calls and an internet connection. Traditional phone systems have on-premise equipment (PBX) connected to a physical circuit providing stability in the connection, resulting in higher call quality. However, traditional phone systems have their challenges as well. These include expensive maintenance of the PBX systems and replacement costs of these systems,

which can be equally as expensive. With Hosted VoIP, all of your voice and phone data is managed in the cloud. The advantage to having your phone system data stored in the cloud is that adjustments can be made easily within the VoIP online dashboard. Your business will eliminate the cost and the worry of managing and upgrading equipment and overall telecom costs. As stated above, VoIP phone calls can be made over any internet connection using an ATA (analog telephone adapter), a cell phone, a computer, or an IP phone. IP phones look like traditional desk phones but have the software built-in that connects via an ethernet port to your internet. One of the most significant advantages of using VoIP is its portability features.
