The previous article has explained general idea in choosing the right VoIP service. You can get more information to choose the right VoIP service in this article. Getting VoIP service for your business can cost you nothing or you need to pay significant up-front cost. It depends on the size of your company and the infrastructure which you already have in place.
For your
information, home broadband connection even offers the ability to handle some
VoIP calls simultaneously. However, it is necessary for you to leave bandwidth
available for other applications. To operate VoIP, you need to have broadband
connection. The more simultaneous users you have, the more bandwidth you need.
It will not be a problem if you are working alone at your home office or you
only have a few employees. For example, operating RingCentral’s Connection
Capacity usage displays that 15-mps home Comcast connection is able to handle
11 calls simultaneously although users have Netflix, Spotify and instant
messaging client operating on the network at the same time.
It is also
necessary for you to ensure that your internal network such as routers and
switches has the ability to handle the load. Most providers recommend users to
use router with configurable Quality of Service settings and choosing VoIP
traffic high priority to optimize quality. If your internet service provider
has bandwidth in place, you should consider this aspect. There are many VoIP
service providers which are using high quality G.711 codec for VoIP
communications. It will take 64 kb of data every second you talk. In fact,
there is a large number of people should be able to chat it up on VoIP without
worrying on hitting bandwidth caps. However, you should close on your data usage
to avoid exceeding the cap.
If you
subscribe to cloud-based hosted VoIP service, you need to ensure that your
phones can communicate over VoIP. Most VoIP systems are using
session-initiations protocol technology to assign each phone or VoIP software
client a specific address. PBX routes will call to specific lines. You will
need SIP-enabled phone to make VoIP calls. If you want to keep your old analog
touch-tone phones or fax machines, you are able to plug them into an analog
telephone adapter or ATA but they will not be able to use many advanced
features which are provided by SIP-based VoIP phones.
