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.

• Do you want to keep existing equipment? Does it support your needs?
  If you are using the traditional PBX and with a limited budget for a complete replacement of the existing equipment, make sure you select a VoIP solution that allows you to take a phased transition. Whether the new VoIP phone system is compatible with your traditional phone system, how to connect them together, how to ensure that the upgrade does not affect business continuity, etc. It’s also important to verify that the VoIP service providers you are considering will support that equipment. This is a stage where direct communication with the VoIP provider is key.
