Voip Atlanta Is The Rapidly Growing Communication Technology

By Stacey Burt


Communication has been made easier with numerous technological innovations. Also known as Internet telephony or broadband phone service, VoIP Atlanta is a technology that allows for long-distance voice communications at cheaper rates. With the technology, users can send text messages, voice messages and faxes over Internet Protocol Networks.

With broadband phone services, the calls are setup in a manner similar to that found in circuit-switched networks. When the user dials, a channel is setup to transmit the message. The signals are converted into digital format and then encoded. With the Internet Protocol transmission however, the message is divided into smaller units called packets before transmission. Upon arrival at the destination, the message packets are then assembled together to form the original message.

Each packet unit of an Internet telephony digital signal is independent of the others and can be transmitted as such. Each of these packets can therefore be transmitted over different channels that may be available at the time. This makes transmission faster and devoid of delays and breakages that normally come with long-distance calls.

Manufacturers of Internet Protocol communication devices have a lot of products on the market. Some of the IP phones are just like normal deskphones and have a cradle, a handset and dial buttons like desk phones. However, the IP phones connect to wall sockets using RJ-45 connectors, which are normally used in Ethernet networks rather than the normal RJ-11 connectors. Some phones have sockets for both types of connectors and can be connected based on the available connection mode.

Some of the IP phones do not need a connection to the wall jack and make use of wireless network, if available. Such phones come with software and hardware components that can place calls to the number dialed using Wi-Fi networks. Most mobile phones sold today have the capability to make voice calls over Internet Protocol Networks. These phones are also able to place voice calls to computers that are also equipped with the appropriate hardware and software.

Voice calls over Internet Protocols are also available from one computer to another or from a computer to a phone. Such computers need to have microphones and speakers, which come with most modern-day personal computers. Software to enable these calls are available from companies that are offering these technologies. The computer also needs a working Internet connection to be able to place these calls. Because voice packets are bigger, the user may experience breaks in the audio if the Internet connection is not fast enough.

One main reason the usage of the Internet telephony communication is growing is the seemingly low cost associated with it. The software needed for a computer or phone to enable VoIP functionality is sold for very low fees, while many of them are completely free. In addition, there are no monthly bills to pay, except for the normal Internet Service Provider monthly bills. This makes it a cheaper service compared to other forms of communication.

Internet Telephony services are now integrated into most of the social media platforms. Users can send messages in the form of multimedia, voice and text to friends that are also subscribed to the platforms. The users are not required to pay anything extra, apart from the charges from the ISP.
