The Evolution of VoIP

<h1>The Evolution of VoIP</h1>

<p align=right>by Sam Schwartz</p>

<div align=justify>Technology changes gradually, passing from one stage of advancement to another. It’s a continuous process, or an evolution. When VoIP was launched in the market, there was no quality though the architecture of the systems was similar to that of a PBX system. The only high points of the service were the low cost of making and managing phone calls as well as the provision of billing via software. The other advantage was getting a united network. Instead of running two networks at each point (one for network operations and other for telephony), they could be consolidated into one. This process is particularly crucial for satellite offices or remote sites. Netscape was one of the first-gen providers. The second-generation VoIP providers followed, including AT&T CallVantage and Vonage. They provided good quality service, but with limited features. The service was built on open telemetry, had set mobile convergence and operated completely on Internet Protocol principles (current systems channel calls via data networks). IP environment and open systems permit the utilization of software via the internet and it can be operated on the server and OS (operating system) of the user’s choice. We have now entered the third-generation of IP telephony, equipped with productivity-boosting applications to maximize company efficiency and allow new channels to serve customers and create new profit prospects. The leader of this generation is PhoneFusion. PhoneFusion provides the best in VoIP service.
