Voice over internet protocol (VoIP), is a technology that allows you to make voice calls on an Ip connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone line.
Some VoIP services may allow you to call anyone who has a telephone number - including local, long distance, mobile and international numbers. Also, while some VoIP services only work over your computer or a special VoIP phone, other services allow you to use a normal phone connected to a VoIP adapter.
VoIP can turn a standard internet connection into a way to make free phone calls. The practical meaning of this is that by using free VoIP softwares to make calls, you are bypassing the phone company (including charges) entirely.
VoIP is a revolutionary technology that has the potential to

- VIDEO-CONFERENCING: VoIP has adcanced bandwidth capacity which helps in improved video conferencing at a reasonable price.
DISADVANTAGES:
VoIP has many downsides such as:
- NO SERVICE DURING A POWER-CUT : During a power-cut a regular phone functions well but a VoIP phone does not work. In order to use VoIP during a power outage, there should be uninterupted power supply.
- EMERGENCY CALLS: If any person makes an emergency call using a regular phone, the call gets diverted towards the nearest call center based on your location. However as VoIP is basically a transfer of data between two IP addresses, and not physical addresses hence there is no way to determine the origin of the call.
- RELIABILITY: Because VoIP relies on your internet connection, hence the services would be affected by the quality of your internet and sometimes the limitation of your VoIP device.
Poor connection can result in distorted voice quality. This often happens when you make a long distance call.
- SECURITY: Security is a main concern with VoIP, as it is with other internet technologies. The most common issues are identity and service theft, viruses and malware, spamming
Conference calls make it possible to speak to multiple people simultaneously. This is extremely useful when the people required to be involved in the call are based all around the country.
Having secure mobile and IP address to it is one of the major important factors as to avoid hacking data. (VoIP) is majorly defined as the ability for faxing, phone calls etc. There is also a need of scalable support over IP which routes and optimizes the mobile needs over secured IP and its protocols. There are also communication insecurity in terms of protection. Some of them are protocol errors, cryptographic errors and implementation errors
To start with VoIP phone systems, you will have to plug the phone into an LAN port. Once you have done this, the VoIP phone will register automatically, and the phone will keep the number. The great thing about this is how the phone always behaves in the same manner, which
There are different types of telephone systems, the range can be from simple hand held domestic telephones to switch board telephone network systems used in business organisations. The features varies from the type of telephone systems its you are using and the different types of the hand set features they have. For example the “ Call Waiting” feature is for if you are talking on the phone and some one calls you and you can put the first caller on hold and talk to the second, and switch between the two callers. You can have "Call Forward", so that if you needed to forward the call to a different person with a different hand set you can forward this call in this way. Finally there is the "Call Answer" feature which means that if you are on the phone or not at home then the telephone system will answer your phone call and take a message and play it back for you.
Cell Phones – They use both voice and data with the use of cell tower to send data from the network to the cell phone.
Malfunctions: Cell sites can stop working for various reasons. Repairs often need to be made on site and may take time. Broadband services require one or more pieces of equipment at your house which you will need to fix if it fails. Wireline equipment can normally be repaired at the central office. Murphy 's Law says breakdowns will happen at the worst possible time.
The WAN will link all of the site networks together which will in turn boost the network speed and the way employees communicate. The communication aspect of the new network will incorporate a VoIP system and will be managed at one central location. “The great thing about VoIP is that it taps additional value from the already existing infrastructure without additional costs” This will provide the highest quality of phone network will saving on the cost of out phone services.
To talk on the landline, the user first must speak to each other, make sure that no one else in the house is trying to use it, and the use is limited compared to
4) Against the background of your answer to questions #1 and #2, how should Cisco distribute VoIP products? Through voice VARs? Data VARs? Or both?
Support 2: Calling let's you hear the person you want to speak to but it also can be a pain. If you call someone and you are speaking loudly about a private conversation. Someone could eavesdrop on your conversation.
| * Card phones * Activated by a pre-programmed card for the holder making calls lasting a specific number of minutes * Paging and voice mail services * Allowed subscribers to receive and leave messages for other subscribers * New telecom infrastructure using radio transmission between outstations and central platform * Central platform routed calls to TTCL, which would direct calls to local, long-distance and international. TTCL levy a charge for directing each call
VoIP is a relatively new technology and so the benefits are just beginning to be realized. VoIP technology has the ability to completely change the telephone industry as we know it. Big changes are in store for the way we use telephones and this section will address some of the changes to expect. Obstacles still stand in the way of progression and there are problems that need to be addressed before this technology can take over.

Voice over LTE is a standard based technology that is required to support voice calls over an LTE network. This approach results in the voice service being delivered as data flows within the LTE data bearer. This means that there is no dependency on the legacy circuit switched voice network to be maintained .
