IP
Telephony is the technology for transmitting voice
communications over a network using open-standards-based
IP. Almco IT & Telecom IP
Telephony solutions use a single network
infrastructure for the transmission of data, voice,
and video traffic, delivering the business
benefits of a converged network (increased productivity,
greater business flexibility, and reduced operational
costs) to medium to enterprise-level organizations.
The
advantages of VoIP over traditional telephony include:
-
Unlike
traditional telephony, VoIP innovation progresses
at market rates rather than at the rates of
the multilateral committee process of the
International Telecommunications Union ( ITU).
-
Lower
costs per call, or even free calls, especially
for long-distance calls.
-
Lower
infrastructure costs: once IP infrastructure
is installed, no or little additional telephony
infrastructure is needed.
-
New
advanced features.
-
A
higher degree of reliability and resilience.
-
"Future
proof" system upgrades, since the functionality
is software (protocol) based and does not
require hardware replacement.
-
Voice
over IP traffic does not necessarily have
to travel over the global Internet; it may
also be deployed on private IP networks for
example on a LAN inside a single building.
