Unlike POTS also known as Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) — a wired system that relies on circuit switching — VoIP converts voice signals into digital packets and sends them over an IP network. In addition to calling land lines or cell phones, with VoIP you also can make calls right over the computer using a headset.<\/a><\/p>\n VoIP can save your small business communication costs\u2014anywhere from 20 to 40 percent depending on your service provider – in a number of ways. First, you don\u2019t have to install new phone lines, since VoIP equipment hooks directly into your existing broadband network. \u00a0In terms of installation you can choose between a Virtual PBX (also called a hosted PBX) or on premise IP PBX.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>Looking for a wise investment for the New Year? You might want to consider switching your telephone system to VoIP if you haven\u2019t already. VoIP, which stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, can enhance the phone experience for your callers, boost your team\u2019s productivity, and save your small business money over a legacy plain old telephone service (POTS).<\/p>\n
