The telecommunication world has been taken by storm as more and more business owners in the Northern Virginia area realize the benefits of Voice Over Internet Protocol, or VoIP. The advantages of VoIP are becoming widely known, making what was once new and foreign technology commonplace in the work environment.

VoIP technology allows business owners to save greatly on their monthly telephone bills, simply by a reduction in long distance calling fees. Using the speed of a high-speed Internet connection, VoIP provides an easy, inexpensive way to place telephone calls around the world at a fraction of the cost of traditional telephone lines.

When placing a call on a traditional telephone system, your long distance calls are directed through your telephone company's network, to the network of the long distance provider and which is then transferred to the recipients telephone service provider's network and eventually to the individual's telephone line. This is the reason for the sometimes exorbitant charges you pay for making the long distance call - the number of telephone companies involved. Each telephone company charges a fee to route the call through their network and to eventually connect the call with the end user - the person you are calling.

Using VoIP service, you eliminate all of the transfers and the fees. The long distance companies are removed from the telephone call making process, resulting in lower fees. Using the Internet as the routing mechanism, your call passes from your telephone to the recipients' local phone company. You dial the phone using your VoIP system, your voice is translated into a digital signal which is then sent through the Internet to the other party on the call.

Using VoIP service in your Northern Virginia business also allows you to use the latest technology, such as Avaya telephone systems, to access extended features not offered by many traditional telephone companies. The high-quality VoIP service, when combined with business telephone systems such as Avaya products, allow for multiple point transfers, conference calls and video conference directly through the phone and Internet.
