VoIP is Better, Cheaper, less resource intensive, and still presently tax free (although I see that changing in the near future)

The arrival of VoIP has changed the landscape of telecommunications for everyone in the industry. The quality of the new internet technology, when it is good, is far superior to land line calls. When it’s bad it has more to do with the lack of control of VoIP packets traversing the public Internet to deliver it’s service.

Vonage, Lingo, Packet 8, and XO communications are huge, highly marketed VoIP providers focusing both on the residential market and commercial business market. These companies suffer a lot of abuse talking about voice quality and over all quality of service in general. Although some of this abuse may be justified due to poor infrastructure planning most of the quality of service issues are due to relying on the public internet to deliver it’s voice packets. No one can predict what will happen to a VoIP voice packet once it leaves the controlled enviroment of the providers network and ventures out into the wild west of the uncontrolled public internet.

VoIP works best when the service is delivered over a private network without having to traverse the public internet. Simply Bits in Tucson AZ has built out the largest privately owned VoIP and broadband network in southern Arizona.

Simply Bits is able to deliver its VoIP service to all businesses in southern AZ without having to have the VoIP voice packets traverse the public internet. What this equates to is VoIP the way it is supposed to be… Superior voice quality, with far more versatility, features and less overall cost than traditional telecommunications legacy copper line solutions.

The traditional telephone communication companies have been locked in a time warp. Many of the older companies still have a small bandwidth of only 300 to 3400 hertz and a limited dynamic range of around 50 to 60 decibels (compare that to a typical hi-fi sound system that spans 18,000 to 20,000 hertz with a dynamic range of around 100 decibels).

VoIP may force these leopards to change their spots. The typical bandwidth spans over 50 to 7000 hertz, but it can extend as high as 14k hertz. The dynamic range is also good. If the providers ever get VoIP service to a consistent delivery, there is no doubt that the quality will win out even the biggest skeptics.

Legacy, copper wire business telecom solutions are inherently inferior for one simple reason. A single point of failure because it has to use a physical “wire”.

Wires are good for mending fences and straightening teeth.

In this day and age a wire in the ground or in the air supplying Voice and Data services to a business with mission critical applications is out-dated and borderline reckless.

Sometimes a wire in the ground is just begging to be inadvertently cut…This usually happens at the worst time possible…Like in the middle of credit card transactions during the busy holiday season…

Can you really afford to depend on an out-dated copper wire?

VoIP is “virtual” and delivered via an ethernet connection. It runs over the bandwidth connection that you run your internal network on that gives you access to the internet.

VoIP and traditional telecommunications are worlds apart when it comes to sound. Traditional calls are like using a hand held FM radio compared to the VOIP which is more like a large hi-fi system.

VoIP still has a ways to go before it dominates the telecommunications industry. When it is good, it is the best thing available to subscribers. The problem is that it is not always good when it is delivered via the public internet as it’s backbone (someithing Simply Bits of Tucson AZ has eliminated). When VoIP voice packets are delivered via the public internet and the quality of service is bad,.. it is bad, and you wouldn’t want to be on an important phone call, that’s for sure.

Find out why Simply Bits of Tucson has solved this problem and can deliver VoIP the way it is meant to be….A superior solution.

VoIP Solution is a new method by which one can accrue the benefits of low cost telephony in a world that is modernising and endeavouring to grow faster than ever before. This concept has revolutionised telephony as VoIP solutions now provide an incredibly cost efficient means of terminating calls as compared to the older methods of call making.

The VoIP solutions now have a dominating influence on the corporate world. Business houses practically cannot survive without the services of the providers. This has enlarged the sphere of IP telephony and moved it to places that could never have been imagined before. The voice quality and termination services remain the same as that of the traditional PSTN phone lines. In fact, these advanced solutions allow the users to makes local calls, long distance calls and even international calls at a price that is much cheaper than that of the traditional method of connectivity.

Packet Switching Technique is brought to use in order to connect the users from one place to another. The method is based on digitising voice signals into compressed IP packets. This system is one of the cheapest ways of transferring files to other domains. A high speed internet connection is required in order to send files to these domains. The internet is used to transfer data, videos and pictures in compressed forms for the receivers at the other end. These files have to pass through a process where things have to be converted to a digital form. It is then only that the successful transfer of calls is possible over the internet connections. Once the compressed data reaches the receiver at the other end, the the digital form is once again reconverted to the analogue form in order to retrieve voice to its original format. These technological requirements have led to the emergence of many a VoIP solution provider in the guise of resellers.

A reseller is a hosted VoIP solution provider that provides services after leasing services from the higher Tier carriers or Wholesalers. This has led to the growth and proliferation of these services. The service providers offer services that are bundled up in the form of call forwarding, call waiting, call conferencing and 3-way calling. The service providers relentlessly strive to give services to the customers in a 24 x 7 shift basis. The customers also have the freedom to approach them at any hour. There is the freedom to relocate as the contact centers generally have their branches dispersed in various parts of the world. This provides the user the opportunity to avail VoIP services even while roaming in any other country apart from his own.

To conclude, it can be said that the VoIP solutions are fast turning out to be one of the most preferred choices in telecommunications.
