The Asterisk phone system has the potential to revitalize business telephony. Through the use of digital technology, high quality calls are being made to computers, mobile and land-line phones.
Making phone calls over the Internet uses a technology known as VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). This enables high quality sound and video to be sent over the Internet. Voice and video images are converted to digital, this is then transmitted over the Internet. At the other end, the digitized voice and video is converted back into a format we can understand. There are a range of sending and receiving technologies, which determine how the conversions are done.
Digital phone technology is reliant on fast broadband lines. The volume of data being transmitted, especially during video calls, means that these calls need to be made on broadband lines. As telecoms companies continue laying high speed fibre-optic lines, the viability of this technology will continue to develop. As lines become faster, it is possible that high date video calls will become even more popular.
