Introduction To Voice Over Internet Protoco - Part 2 of 3
By Budda Oliver
As mentioned earlier, the Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) can be used in several various ways. This being the case, you may need different types of equipment depending on how you plan to use VOIP.
In any case, you will need a broadband (high-speed) internet connection to use the service. This can be either through a cable modem, DSL, or a local area network.
If using an IP phone, then all you need in addition to an internet connection is the IP phone itself. These IP phones are similar to traditional house phones in appearance, and simply replace the old-style RJ-11 connectors with Ethernet connectors (RJ-45). Hardware such as routers and the needed software are built right in to the phone.
If you desire to use your own pre-existing house phone, then you will need to get a VOIP adaptor. ATA (analog telephone adaptors) convert analog audio signals into digital signals so that they can be transmitted properly via the Internet.
If using your computer, then you will need any necessary VOIP software, a microphone, speakers, a sound card, and, of course, a computer and internet router.
Calling Capability:
You may be wondering if it is possible to place calls to individuals who have traditional phone service, and do NOT have VOIP service. The answer actually depends on who your Voice Over Internet Protocol provider is. For the most part, most providers allow you to call traditional analog phones from your VOIP phone or computer. When calling an analog telephone, the digital signal your VOIP phone creates is converted back into an analog audio signal, capable of being received by the conventional telephone.
With Voice Over Internet Protocol, long distance calling rates are a thing of the past. VOIP calling is considered a data service, and is therefore not applicable to any fees, taxes, or other charges you pay for with a traditional local telephone company. There is no by-the-minute charges with VOIP, no set-up fees, and no "time of day" or overages. Long distance calls are treated the same as local calls, so your bill is always the same, no matter how long you talk, how many calls you make, or how far away you call.
Standard long distance calling may become useless in the future as VOIP changes the landscape of telephone service. "Land lines" for long distance calling may eventually become obsolete as broadband telephony becomes more common and makes VOIP just as commonplace as any other type of telephone call.
