Are you thinking of getting into VoIP? Do you have trouble getting your head around all the related terms? Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology is being tipped as the technology that will transform the way that calls are made in the future. Voice over IP digitises the sound of a human voice so that calls can be made via the internet. You can now make VoIP calls that cost a tiny proportion of calls made through the traditional phone line. It is revolutionizing the way that people communicate.

However, as often arises with new technologies, it is occasionally hard to make sense of what all the new technical words mean. As a consequence of this this article will try and make sense of the technical terms. So let’s get started on technical terms

? Bit rate: This is the speed at which data moves across the Internet. The term can also be used as a measure of the speed of an Internet connection which is often quantified in kilobits or megabits per second.

? Broadband: This is a generic term for high speed Internet over cable or ADSL

? IP: This stands for Internet Protocol It is the standard that underpins all services on the Internet.

? Switch: A piece of equipment that a phone company can use to connect calls between subscribers It is also used by businesses to connect their internal extensions as well as outside lines which are also known as private branch exchange (PBX)

Our aim is by explaining and simplifying some of the jargon that surrounds the VoIP services this article should help clarify what VoIP is about and the elements that are involved. Find the service that is right for you. Join the VoIP revolution and start enjoying cheap calls and other cool services!
