Voice Over IP, VOIP Services: GHI Telecom Services

Voice over IP Services

Constant and dramatic changes in the telecommunications industry in recent years combined with rapid advances in Internet technologies has created a compelling environment for the introduction of IP phone services.

With IP telephony or voice-over-IP (VoIP), traditional voice service shifts from old-time circuit-switched networks to Internet Protocol (IP), where calls are broken into informational "packets" and then sent over data networks and reassembled upon arrival at their final destination – your mom’s home or to a client. This more efficient method of transporting your voice calls results in lower costs compared to traditional phone calls that tie up available capacity on a copper phone line. Five years after their inception, VoIP calls preserve the business-grade voice quality expected from traditional analog telephone service.

TCP/IP and the Internet make packet-based voice communications viable because they are based on an open platform that supports intelligent application breakthroughs. "Switches" become general purpose computers running VoIP-aware software. As a result, VoIP services offer more features, like:

Follow Me: a 'one number' system allowing remote workers to receive calls on any phone wherever they are traveling during the day
"Click to dial" from Microsoft Outlook contacts
Conferencing: Convenient, inexpensive conferencing, whether scheduled or on the fly
Visual voicemail: see and review all of your voice mail as easily as email

VoIP is changing the way businesses communicate. VoIP is the first true alternative to traditional telephone service, and for the first time, business-class VoIP is available and affordable for small and medium businesses. Now, you can take advantage of the cost savings, increased efficiency and reliability of service that business-class VoIP provides.
