Ready for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)?

Your phone bills keep increasing? You would like to reduce your long-distance charges ?
A technology now available could allow you to make important savings, while adding new convenient functionalities.

If you are familiar with Skype or MSN, you should know that they were forerunner of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP).

What is VoIP?
VoIP is a telephone connexion that uses the internet to communicate with others, instead of traditional phone lines or cable that go through telephony centrals.

How does it work?
Traditional telephony systems convert the numeric signal that goes through wires into an analogical signal, so we can hear it as sounds. VoIP technology is able to produce the same sounds directly from the numerical signal.

VoIP sends a numerical signal to the recipient through your Internet connexion. The recipient’s phone system reconverts the data into an analogical signal, as it has done in the past.

Why switch to VoIP?
The VoIP system is connected to your computer network through the existing network cables. Therefore, there are no cables to install if you add new telephones, reorganise the office or move into a new space.

Eliminating the telecommunications carrier contract can reduce your telephone bill by up to 75%, depending on your usage pattern.

You can keep the same phone numbers you have been using without service interruption.

The numerical file generated by a VoIP system allows you to record and save your conversations in (.wav) format.

Freedom and versatility
Since this phone system is connected to the computer network, it allows convenient functionalities, such as the reception of your voice mails in your e-mail inbox, on your laptop, Blackberry, iPhone or other smart phones.

Incoming calls can be transferred seamlessly to an external telephone, a great feature for those working on the road, multi-location businesses or those with team members working remotely.

Furthermore, this technology provides an exceptional sound quality, regardless of the physical distance between callers.
