VoIP Phone System for Businesses

A VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone system works by converting analog voice signals into digital data packets and transmitting them over IP networks.

When you speak into a VoIP phone or device, your voice is captured and converted into digital data using a codec. This data is divided into packets, sent over the IP network, and then reassembled and converted back into analog signals at the recipient’s VoIP phone or device, allowing them to hear the communication.
