VoIP and Packet Switching Technology
One of the reasons VoIP is so successful and advantageous is it
uses packet switching technology rather than circuit switching
technology to provide phone services. Most phone companies use
circuit switching technology. Packet switching technology is
different in that it allows multiple phone calls to occur within
the same space a single phone call would occupy using a circuit
network.
This means less transmission time is used and less expense is
incurred for the same phone call placed using packet switching
versus circuit switching technology. How does packet switching
work? Basically you pick up the receiver or initiate a phone
call, which sends a signal. After dialing a phone number the
tones are converted into digital data your computer can read and
stored temporarily until the VoIP company sends the phone number
you punch in to their
call processor. The processor maps the
phone number to an IP address. That is nothing more than
someone's computer address, then connects the two computers
together using a soft switch device.
Your Computer and VoIP
Your computer is basically acting as an intermediary, passing
voice messages much like it would an e-mail to another user. You
can talk for any length of time necessary, and all the while
your computer and VoIP software will be transmitting data
packets of information from one computer to the other,
translating analog information into digital virtually
automatically. The entire process takes just seconds and allows
a higher volume of calls than a traditional phone line would.
