What are the technical requirements for VoIP traffic?

As a result of the evolution of the digitalization of all companies, in both mentality and in new support tools, new technologies such as VoIP telephony have appeared.

Gone are the days when companies had to invest large sums of money to get the most advanced technology for their business telephony. Thanks to a VoIP provider, internet telephony seems to be the most economical and, in the majority of cases, the most reliable solution on the market. So, what do you really need for VoIP traffic? The following criteria determine the quality of the service:

• Guaranteed bandwidth. The most important!
• Type of router used.
• Process the voice is subject to.
• How the audio is converted into data packets to be sent over the network.
• Possible Jitter (sound fluctuation).
• Echoing.

What are the differences between IP telephony and VoIP?

As we have mentioned previously, the main difference between IP telephony and VoIP is quite minimal as one exists within the other. Let me explain.

On the one hand, VoIP telephony is literally the process of sending the audio generated during a call over the internet. This is achieved using codecs, which dematerialise the speaker's voice to be sent in separate data packets over a PSTN (public switched telephone network) to the recipient. Once these digital packets have arrived at their destination, they are reconverted to audio so that they can be listened to.

On the other hand, we have IP telephony. This type of telephony is VoIP telephony plus all the possible complements and functions that can be associated with it thanks to the versatility of dematerialised communications. Among these applications we can find video calls, call forwarding, wait queues and interactive menus.

In short, VoIP telephony is the technology, the tool, and IP telephony is the structure, a service that lets you digitise your company's communication and, thanks to different platforms, create a cloud contact centre to become a business with omnichannel communication. And all that for a very affordable price! The US VoIP tariffs are varied as business communication solutions, presenting various options from free functions to more premium versions.
