It seems like technology is headed for a massive telephone change over.
The traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) is looking to be
replaced by VoIP. VoIP is short for Voice over IP. VoIP is the routing of
conversations over an IP network or the Internet. VoIP uses a
packet-switched network instead of the circuit-switched voice transmission
lines used by traditional telephone networks. VoIP does not need an
Internet connection to work. A company that has a LAN connection with all
of its computers can utilize VoIP technology.
VoIP is a great technology, but has a variety of issues with
implementation. VoIP may face problems with latency because IPs do not
provide Quality of Service guarantees, nor do they provide their packets
of information in sequential order. High-speed Internet connections are
required for VoIP and firewalls often prove tricky for VoIP technology. To
combat this, many people use Session Border Controllers (SBC).
VoIP technology has many advantages. There are more new features with VoIP
because of the lack of an International Telecommunications Union. VoIP is
still very much an open market for developers, so the technology is
constantly being improved. VoIP also has a lower cost than traditional
sources because of the monopolies that exist or traditional phone
companies being controlled by the government. Some users even see VoIP
phone calls as free because they do not have to pay extra for the service.
The user only pays the Internet service provider, and therefore the usage
of VoIP seems to be free. You can also take your VoIP phone wherever you
go because all you need is a network connection to make it work. VoIP
technology will also benefit network agents who work for call centers.
Agents can help callers from anywhere in the country with an Internet
connection. Finally, because VoIP is on the computer, there is increased
functionality. Conference calls can be held, information can be sent, and
things like address books can be updated and shared over VoIP.
While VoIP has many advantages, there are a few drawbacks to the service.
One of the biggest drawbacks is reliability. Telephone lines have back up
generators in case of power outages, so phones can keep working. Because
VoIP is connected to the Internet, a power outage will end a VoIP call
when the computer shuts down. To combat this, users must buy an expensive
uninterruptible power supply or a generator that must then be installed on
the premises. Internet connections are also subject to disconnection,
depending on crowded networks, and the quality of the ISP. If the Internet
connection drops, then the VoIP call will be dropped. VoIP is also a
problem for emergency calls. Because of the nature of the Internet and
VoIP systems, emergency workers cannot trace calls. In the event that
someone with an emergency has a problem but is unable to give an address,
the emergency worker will not be able to trace the call and find the
person. VoIP carriers are already attempting to fix this problem by
implementing a technical work-around. Finally, it will be very difficult
to integrate VoIP on a massive scale, because while the standard Plain Old
Telephone System (POTS) has a common standard, VoIP does not.
VoIP has many advantages as well as some large drawbacks. The main
roadblock in the way of global VoIP adoption is reliability. When VoIP
proves that it can be just as reliable as traditional telephone services
have been over many years, then it will start to be adopted. VoIP
technology is always improving, so the problems with VoIP today are likely
to be solved sooner than many people expect. VoIP can truly revolutionize
both the business world and home life.
