Internet Phone Service for Small & MidSize Businesses in Miami

Initially, one of the major concerns in the deployment of an Internet phone service was the reliability and predictability of the call’s quality. VoIP was found to work perfectly on Local Area Networks (LAN) when all the phones, software or physical, shared the same wire and had little or no competition for bandwidth. However when making long distance calls across a Wide Area Network (WAN) things became far more unpredictable. Just like data applications running Client/Server models that required timely responses, VoIP was finding that IP’s inherent strength, its inbuilt robustness and error detection and correction techniques, made it ironically unsuitable for voice. IP would have to...

Hospitals are busy places, having to simultaneously cater to multiple demands. People often call a hospital for different reasons: to request an ambulance, emergency needs/consult, check-up reports, scheduling appointments, advice, and many other reasons.

What is SIP Trunking?

SIP trunking is a VoIP service that uses session initiation protocol (SIP), the switching technology used in VoIP telephone systems, to allow users to initiate and receive communications and services between connected facilities, as long as there is a sufficient bandwidth available. To illustrate, imagine a call center. Let's say that our hypothetical call center needs to be able to make/receive X amount of concurrent calls during peak season. Using a traditional phone system, the center would have to determine that peak rate and then install the requisite number of T1 lines and channels to accommodate that volume, based on the primary rate interface (PRI). Now, if that call center...
