Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP)
 

Toll-bypass Long Distance Calling

Now multi-location businesses can use the Internet or a private network (Intranet) for long distance voice and fax communications and save thousands of pounds annually.  Instead of paying your long distance carrier to route long distance calls between offices, any IP data network can route the calls using a technology called Voice over IP (VOIP). It doesn't matter if you are using the Internet, a private Intranet, ISDN, DSL, frame relay, wireless, or satellite for your data communications network, as long as it uses the Internet Protocol (IP).  

If you make frequent long distance calls to a remote site, you already know the charges can add up quickly. Voice over IP is designed to help you maximize the investments you’ve already made in your data and telecommunications network infrastructure by bridging them together to provide toll-free communications.  This guide provides telecommunication managers and data communications managers with an introduction to Voice over IP and how they may benefit from voice and data convergence.
