 Like
most IT buzzwords today, Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP
or Voice over IP) means different things to different people.
What's more, the benefits and future implications for VoIP
are different depending on which publication you read. However,
it is certain that VoIP is a key up-and-coming technology,
and Samsung Telecoms is committed to providing access to this
emerging technology to enable a range of cost-saving communications
functions for business users.
So what is VoIP? Many assume that VoIP is synonymous with
Voice over Internet, allowing international calls and advanced
functions such as tele- and videoconferencing - all for the
price of a local call. However, current infrastructure is
not able to handle such large masses of
additional call traffic with the astronomic growth in Internet
usage. There would be delays, call drop-outs and other reliability
problems, not to mention security concerns.
VoIP instead means using the Internet Protocol for routing
and delivering calls in the same way that data and video are
sent now, utilising spare bandwidth over existing data links
and leased lines to reduce the ongoing cost of call traffic
between linked sites.
Shifting telephone traffic, as well as fax
transmissions, to internal data lines saves companies money;
and combining phone and data networks eliminates the need
for separate information pipelines and separate staff to manage
and maintain them. It's claimed that companies can slash their
phone budgets by 35 percent by moving voice traffic to its
data network.
Put simply, VoIP redefines the next wave
of data and phone integration, creating more effective applications
and lowering communications costs.
With an ever-increasing demand for this technology
Samsung Telecoms has developed a range of VoIP integrated
communication systems and a Media Gateway for non-VoIP enabled
legacy system users to fully benefit from the added functionality
VoIP offers.
