Quality of Service can affect the Quality of VoIP
Quality of Service can affect the Quality of VoIP…Businesses that are selecting to change their communication means to Internet or VoIP phones have several important factors that they must consider prior to choosing a provider. Here’s a little information that can make your decision process a wee bit easier. It’s all a matter of QOS or Quality of Service!
There are basically two ways a business can receive phone calls over the Internet; the first is via a private network or VoIP provider that runs QOS software. The second is via a public and open Internet connection. Private VoIP providers can basically guarantee business VoIP to their customers must like your local phone company can- however, the VoIP providers are much more cost efficient than traditional land line phone service- no long distance, no technicians, no phone lines, etc…Another advantage to privately owned networking services to business VoIP customers is the QOS software. Quality of Service Software is basically a program written that will tell the Internet servers which information has precedence over the other. For example, phone calls should always be categorized as more important than data traveling on the same Internet connection. After all, you can wait for an email and never know you were even waiting…but when someone calls you; waiting may mean a missed call. This software ensures that calls are answered first – data second and this ensures everyone is happy!
