VoIP Or Standard PBX

Should you keep your trusty TDM based phone system or toss everything out in favor of a Internet Telephony system?

Why to miss services which would promise to enhance your productivity?
Substitute it all for a brand new Voip phone system and take all the benefits this new technology offers.

How to proceed?

Decide between these possibilities:
- analog,
- digital, or
- IP phones
on your desk and whether to go with VoIP telephone services or TDM to be linked with the outside. Some systems will even allow you to mix and match.

Which one to take?
VoIP?
TDM?
or Both?
Why not?

Most any telephone systems give you the option on how to connect to the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network).

A pure IP-Telephony telephone system operates entirely in the IP world from handset to call termination. The PBX equivalent is the IP PBX. The IP PBX is generally a software running on a Linux system. The handsets are referred to as SIP phones.
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is a switching protocol which controls the telephone calls over the Internet. Calls between subscribers to the same Internet Telephony service provider completely stay on the network and never enter the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). Calls to and from non-subscribers are terminated to the PSTN at the provider’s location.

Usually you can mix and match purely digital and TDM phone systems, purely analog phone systems and purely VoIP phone systems. A IP-Telephony system may well have FXS (Foreign Exchange Subscriber or Station) ports to connect to analog handsets, like traditional PBX telephone systems. The telephone service connection may be T1, analog, ISDN, or SIP Trunking.

Normally newer IP PBX telephone systems can offer a broader range of handset and telephone service connection options than traditional PBX systems. But before you decide to replace your telephone system, you may ask a skilled expert or get related information in one of the many Voip Review Sites you’ll find on the Internet.

With Skype IP-telephony it is easy to bring your business definitely to the global market. Internet telephony has long been the cautiously guarded secret of computer geeks. Skype actually changed the way we communicate. Traditional telecommunications companies like AT+T pressed the panic button and forced to launch their own IP-telephony service.

At first Skype was launched as an Instant Messaging software tool with voice as an added benefit. But within a short time this little software application became synonymous with making calls over the Internet.

The genius of Skype is that it does not trust on a centralized network to route the calls.

Therefore Skype, unlike other Voip providers like Vonage and Lingo, can become larger without paying extra money for hardware based on a centralized network, since its network really is made of thousands of PCs connected to each other like yours and mine.

The fresh purchase of Skype Technologies by the Internet giant Ebay for an incredible amount of $2.6 billion gives you some idea of the potential of the power of this technology.

How to profit when using Skype?

You only need a microphone and speakers to make calls with Skype. The call quality is of high quality in most countries. Most people are convinced they know all about Skype. They know how to make free calls with a PDA, PC or notebook over the Internet. But Skype is much more than a PC IP-Telephony technology.
