Voice-over-Internet Protocol or more simply VoIP is a term used in telephony for a set of facilities for managing the delivery of voice information using the Internet Protocol (IP). It is a technique that allows voice traffic to be transported across an IP-based data network or the Internet instead of on the traditional circuit-switched network. The voice signal is sampled, compressed and encapsulated into data packets to allow it to be switched, routed and bridged along with all other data packets across the Local and Wide area network. Benefit of a VOIP service which gives you even more flexibility over your phone lines is that you are able to add extra phone lines without having to have another line installed. This can happen as VOIP uses the internet to make calls so the only requirement is the bandwidth, so it is wise to have a fast internet connection as this will make using the VOIP service even easier
Is VOIP difficult to install? Not at all. Part of the rollout of VOIP has been the easy to install nature of it. You can have a VOIP connection running in under a half hour, even if you’re not technically inclined. Sure, it’s more complicated than an analog phone, but it can do a lot more too!
Installation Process: When installing a VoIP system, businesses will have a telephone system already installed. It is important to ask the VoIP provider if they can integrate the VoIP system with the old system so there will not be any interruptions in daily operations. You should ask if there will be any hardware that you have to buy.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) represents the biggest change in the telecom industry in years, and its deployment is bringing dramatic changes to how businesses operate on a day to day basis. Its rich feature set has allowed smaller companies to gain access to high-end features, and and its low cost and collaborative technologies has ushered in a new era of collaboration across great distances. But despite the many advantages, there is still resistance to its deployment, largely due to a few incorrect misperceptions about the technology and the industry. Here are a few of these myths:
VoIP is less secure. It is incorrect to believe that standard PSTN(Regulard Analog Line) telephony is absolutely secure—anyone with physical access to the wire can easily tap into your calls. VoIP, as an Internet-based technology, does have security issues of its own, but these have been addressed with new technologies, encryption, and VoIP-compatible firewalls.
Sound quality is poorer than the PSTN. Again, not true. Early VoIP implementations did indeed suffer from poor sound quality, jittery calls and dropped connections, although VoIP experts have expended a great deal of energy and capital in its development. Call quality for VoIP is now equivalent to that of the PSTN.
Reliability is poorer than the PSTN (Regular Analog Line). The incidence of dropped calls, or inability to place a call during peak times was a real concern during the early days of VoIP, but these too have been addressed with new reliability techniques, prioritization schemes for VoIP packets, and more widespread use of high-bandwidth Internet connections.
