At
Alliance Communications,
we specialize in the connection of
VoIP services to existing Telephone Business Systems. You don't need to
upgrade your existing phone system to take advantage of VoIP. Your home
phone or Cordless phone can also be connected to your VoIP equipment.
For a small outlay for hardware, (i.e.: VoIP router or voice box), and
the connection to your local VoIP provider plus our time to connect it
all up, you can make or receive low cost phone calls over the internet
through your phone system and save up to 60% on your existing phone
bill. If you have high speed broadband, you can have VoIP! Contact
us and we'll help you
connect.
(Voice over Internet Protocol)
"VoIP allows a broadband Internet connection to be used to make and
receive phone calls. Because the calls travel over the Internet rather
than the copper wire networks of the major phone companies, VoIP service
providers can offer rates way below those of traditional carriers. In
some cases calls can even be free. To achieve this feat, VoIP technology
converts sound waves (a human voice) into data.
During this conversion, the voice is sampled thousands of times each
second with the samples being converted to electronic packets. These
packets are then streamed over the Internet in the same way as
everything from emails to web pages.
Because the voice stream has to find its way through the complex web of
networks that make up the Internet, each packet is labeled with the
destination IP address of the person being called. So, even if some of
the packets take a different path or arrive out of order, they can still
be reassembled into voice sound waves when they arrive. When this
process happens in two directions, you have a phone call." * *source:
