A VoIP phone system means Voice over Internet Protocol. This phone system delivers voice communications over the internet and other IP networks instead of the public switched telephone network or PSTN. This is why it is also referred to as IP Telephony or IP Telephone System. This is considered as a digital phone system because the analog voice signal is converted to digital format and translated into internet protocol packets in order to be transmitted through the internet.
SIP / VOIP phones are required for the VoIP phone system. The various types of SIP / VOIP phones are software based SIP / VOIP phones, USB SIP / VOIP phones and hardware SIP / VOIP phones.
Software based SIP / VOIP phones, also called soft phones, are actually not physical phones but programs. The program is installed on the computer and it allows the user to make calls through the computer’s microphone and its speakers or a headset.
USB SIP / VOIP phones look physically like the regular telephones. They are plugged into the computer through the USB port. They also need the soft phone software to work, though.
Hardware SIP / VOIP phones not only look like regular telephones but also function just like them. They contain an integrated mini hub and are directly connected to the data network of the computer, thereby sharing the network conection. There are several popular brands to choose from.
