What is VoIP

VoIP stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol

The technology used to transmit voice conversations over a data network using IP. This is done by digitizing voice into discrete packets that are transferred independently over a public internet, instead of traditional circuit-committed protocols of the public switched telephone network.

The technology has progressed rapidly over the past decade and, although it has been around many years, the rapid developments in this arena have allowed companies like Minnesota VoIP to offer robust, flexible, cost effective solutions to any sized business.

The reliability of this technology, and clarity, is as good as, and in many cases, better than traditional phone systems. Plus, because it only requires internet connectivity you can stay connected much more easily.

Since this technology is software based, it allows for many of the controls to be given to the user through a web portal, unlike traditional phone systems.
