Voice Solutions

Hosted VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol)

There are many providers of Hosted VoIP in the market, and most offer the ability for voice calling over the internet with use across an IP-based VoIP phone, a softphone used on desktops or laptops, and perhaps a Mobile App for accessing calls and transferring across the VoIP platform.
Not all provider solutions are alike and understanding these differences matters!

Solutions may vary in caller features, application continuity, and VoIP phone accessibility, as well as pricing schedules based on each provider.  Some common things to know are as follows:

​

SIP Trunking

This solution is usually added to allow VoIP and UC Collaboration tools, but the main difference is the setup often includes an on-premise PBX being used over hosted PBX for higher-level controls.
The SIP Trunk moves all voice traffic across a data line and provides greater QoS (Quality of Service) for call traffic.
