What's The Big Thing With Internet Telephony?

By Saul Saresi


Presently Internet Telephony still has its faults, but the demand for systems is huge and growing at a daily rate as more and more people are made aware of the benefits that an internet telephone system can bring to their business.

Because internet telephone systems are still very much in their infancy, the technology surrounding them is constantly evolving. In the very near future all system glitches will have been completely ironed out and internet telephone systems will be commonplace in the majority of businesses.

So as I mentioned, the stand out difference in internet telephone systems is the flexibility it offers aside from the obvious advantages of reduced call costs and drastically improved call quality. Flexibility which offers a number of options for making calls.

The first and most common method of internet calling is through an Analogue Telephone Adaptor (or ATA for short). This device adapts an analogue telephone signal into a digital signal which transmitted via the internet.

All ATA devices come fully assembled and can be installed quickly by anyone in just a matter of seconds to enable a standard telephone to begin making internet phone calls. ATA devices are also usually provided completely free of charge.

IP phones look very similar to standard phones - with a cradle, handset and buttons - but are in fact specialised internet phones with RJ-45 Ethernet connectors in place of standard RJ-11 phone connectors. Internet phones are also very easy to install, needing simply to be plugged directly into your router.

The other way to make calls is via the computer-to-computer method and a large number of companies offer completely free software for this kind of Internet Telephony. The only equipment required is a computer, a broadband connection, speakers, a microphone and a soundcard. With the computer-to-computer method all calls are completely free.

So for anyone interested in internet telephone systems there is, without doubt, a system to suit your requirements. And if you are interested in sampling the capabilities of such a system before investing, why not download some free software with a friend and within 5 minutes you can begin experimenting and discover whether or not you want to be a part of the internet telephone revolution.
