Most Internet-savvy users make use of VOIP, or “voice
over Internet protocol,” every day. At its most
basic, VOIP is the process of making a call over a
computer instead of using a traditional landline or
mobile phone. Most of us know Skype as one of the
most popular VOIP services.
Over the Internet, data is boxed into little packets
that zip over networks. Email, Google searches, and
all other information sent and received over the
Internet takes the form of data packets. VOIP is no
different. Using VOIP, a computer user can place a
call to another computer or to mobile and landline
sets.

Switching a business from mobile devices and
landlines to VOIP can save a tremendous
amount of money. Employees can use VOIP to
collaborate from offices, their homes, or on
the road. VOIP can also be extended to
encompass functions such as conference calls
and video chat, making remote collaboration
easy.
