Voice over IP - Future of Communications

Global communications has become a must for all sectors of business and life for our world today. With the spreading use of the Internet, people across the globe are able to communicate. This paper will address the growing use of a technology to upgrade our old PSTN system of voice communications. This technology builds off the same technology we use today with our computers and the Internet. To begin I will give an overview of the Global PSTN infrastructure from regions across the globe. Next moving into a more technical look at the technology. And finally, seeing how this new technology will affect our current Global PSTN. This technology that will change voice communications is Voice Over IP or VoIP.

Today’s global economy is starving for information transmissions. Timeliness of that speed is a must. With the old PSTN networks limited to just voice, and not able to send Data/Voice/Video, a need for a new way has grown.

They have recognized the need to offer different services to corporate America as technology increases. During the conversation, your company's PBX and the other party's IP host transmit packets back and forth when there is data to be sent. Advancements in compression and bandwidth speeds have given a new breathe to this technology. (Cit-Online)

Russia is the final country I will take a look at. Business users can build off their current WAN setup to use the VoIP systems.
