What is different between phone call and VIOP?

Answer 1

VOIP stands for voice over IP. In a standard telephone setup, you are assigned a phone number specifically for your line. When you place a standard phone call, you are telling a local phone switch, how to connect your call to the local central office, on the communications network. The network is tied together using large scale switches such as the 5ESS Switch which is the Class 5 telephone switching system by Lucent Technologies. You call is electronically routed to the specified location, but the actual transmission of the voice signal is done in a combination of compter and analog audio signaling and amplification.

In the case of VOIP, the communication is transferred in groups of numbers (digital signals) which if printed out would look like large charts of numbers. These are "packets" of information and are handled using a protocol called TCP/IP, or transmission control protocol / internet protocol, which allows the assigning of your VOIP number to whatever IP address exists on the internet conneciton you are currently using. In other words, you can move your VOIP phone to any location where there is an internet connection. With VOIP, the sound of your voice is recorded, compressed into small clumps of computer information, and sent over the network. The communication is this case is not only handled by the telecommunications infrastructure, but is also handled over the internet.

Voip systems are much more scalable and can range from small desktop setups for a small office, or can be enormous like the following datacanter

Answer 2

VIOP is over your computer line and phone is through the phone company. I had the VIOP and I had no problem with it unless my Internet went out. Also, there is an issue with how it is routed to the police if you ever need to call. Your call won't go straight to emergency when you call 911. Instead it goes to a call center who then sends it to emergency. So if your phone number and/or address aren't right for some reason, you're in trouble.

Answer 3

Voice over Internet Protocol, also called VoIP, IP Telephony, Internet telephony, Broadband telephony, Broadband Phone and Voice over Broadband is the routing of voice conversations over the Internet or through any other IP-based network.

Protocols which are used to carry voice signals over the IP network are commonly referred to as Voice over IP or VoIP protocols. They may be viewed as commercial realizations of the experimental Network Voice Protocol (1973) invented for the ARPANET.ce providers. Some cost savings are due to utilizing a single network to carry voice and data, especially where users have existing underutilized network capacity they can use for VoIP at no additional cost. VoIP to VoIP phone calls on any provider are typically free, while VoIP to PSTN calls generally costs the VoIP user.

There are two types of PSTN to VoIP services: DID (Direct Inward Dialing) and access numbers. DID will connect the caller directly to the VoIP user while access numbers require the caller to input the extension number of the VoIP user. Access numbers are usually charged as a local call to the caller and free to the VoIP user[citation needed] while DID usually has a monthly fee. There are also DID that are free to the VoIP user but is chargeable to the caller.

Answer 4

.

Thatz not VIOP. Its VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol).

Phone calls are transfered from sender to receiver in the form of Analog signals.

VOIP calls are transfered from sender to receiver in the form of Digital data Packets throught the Internet - may be thro wired or wireless.

Answer 5

VOIP lines are through the internet. If your internet is down, so is your phone. Regular phones will deliver calls even if your electric is out if you use a regular corded phone.

Peace!
