VoIP Solutions     What is VoIP   VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a method for taking analog audio signals, like the kind you hear when you talk on the phone, and turning them into digital data that can be transmitted over the Internet.  It is a revolutionary technology that is fast transforming global telecommunications.   Chances are, you are already making VoIP calls, every time you place a long-distance call. Phone companies use VoIP to streamline their networks. By routing thousands of phone calls through a circuit switch and into an IP gateway, they can seriously reduce the bandwidth they`re using for the long haul. Once the call is received by a gateway on the other side of the call, it is decompressed, reassembled and routed to a local circuit switch.   With VoIP, you can make a call from anywhere as long as you have broadband connectivity.  You can either use an IP phone connected to the interned to make VoIP calls or a ‘softphone’ for a computer-computer or, computer-phone call. A softphone is simply, a client software that loads the VoIP service onto your computer, with a GUI that resembles a conventional telephone. As long as you have a headset/microphone, you can place calls from your laptop anywhere in the broadband-connected world.     Advantages of using VoIP   By using VoIP for your long distance communication needs, you can substantially save on telephone bills.  As an individual, you can use VoIP from anywhere in the world, to keep in touch with your family and friends.  As a small/medium sized business entity, you can benefit  by using VoIP for all your long distance calling needs; to keep in touch with clients and associates, to operate call centres,  or for that matter, any activity such as market research, customer surveys etc that require your business to make expensive outbound telephone calls. For large businesses, multinationals and other corporates, VoIP provides the best option to save on communication costs in inter-office / intra-office conference calls.  You could also use  an IP PBX and extend access to VoIP based calling to your entire office thereby saving significantly on International calls, emanating from anywhere on your premises.     Our VoIP Solutions   Chameleon, through strategic partnerships with leading VoIP Service Providers, can offer a suite of VoIP solutions for your business or personal needs.
