What is the difference between VoIP and IP Telephony

° Voice over IP is the transmission of voice encapsulated packets over the Internet via routed protocols to the destination. Unlike traditional voice service through a voice PRI which traverses a physical path back to the provider’s Central Office, VoIP has numerous paths to reach the end client. With the advancements in DSP and encoding technologies the far end user never notices a difference whether they are speaking over a traditional PSTN network or VoIP call.

° IP Telephony is the integration of voice, video and data into a feature rich telephone system transmitting over a converged network. This leads to greater productivity and reduced operational costs. Imagine having one integrated system where you can check your voicemail messages and email over the phone from any location in the world without paying a single cent. You can travel any where around the world, wherever there is Internet access and make a phone call without the user ever knowing you are a thousand miles away!
