The receiving end must be able to decode those packets and switch from digital-to-analog. Specifically VOIP refers to telephone service over a IP telephony network.<\/p>\n<p>VOIP is efficient with bandwidth and <a title=\"VoIP Services\" href=\"http:\/\/convergedsystems.com\/voip_services.html\">low cost <\/a>to use.\u00a0 More and more businesses are selecting to move from copper-wire based telephones to VOIP.\u00a0 Doing so reduces monthly phone bills.\u00a0 Additionally business are able to handle\u00a0 phone calls, faxes, voice mail, e-mail, Web conferences and more to any handset that is able to hook into the VOIP system.\u00a0 This means that tablets, cellphones, and wired units can be used as the situation requires. Unlike traditional phones, VOIP combines voice and data communication into a single network, lowering infrastructure expenses. Plus unified phone numbers across the business network regardless of location is possible with VOIP systems.<\/p>\n<p>Other things to keep in mind is that VOIP can use commodity hardware running either a PC or a Linux OS that uses standard interfaces. These are simple and easy to make system changes as needed.\u00a0 Additionally moving from a private VOIP inside a building to external wi-fi network is often seamless. Businesses can reduce the need for both a desktop phone and a cellphone, because one device works across the board. International calls using VOIP are only a fraction of the expense that traditional phone services.\u00a0 With the increasingly global business culture that exists, reducing this expense has never been more important.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox external\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.convergedsystems.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F279&#038;t=What%20to%20Know%20about%20VoIP%20Installation&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.convergedsystems.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F279&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=What%20to%20Know%20about%20VoIP%20Installation\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.convergedsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox external\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.convergedsystems.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F279&#038;text=Hey%20check%20this%20out\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.convergedsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-linkedin nolightbox external\" data-provider=\"linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.convergedsystems.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F279&#038;title=What%20to%20Know%20about%20VoIP%20Installation\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"linkedin\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.convergedsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/linkedin.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VOIP is the overall system that delivers voice communication and multimedia over Internet Protocal networks.\u00a0 Such things like voice, fax, SMS, and voice-messaging are delivered over the Internet instead of over the public switched telephone network.\u00a0 Often this requires setting up a signal and media channel, adding the technology to digitalize the voice signal, and&#8230;
