Sip, Voip, Wifi - What Does it All Mean?
SIP is widely used in voice and video calls made over the internet. SIP is used for video conferencing, streaming multimedia, instant messaging and online games. SIP is used in 3GPP signalling protocol and a permanent feature of the multimedia feature available is most mobile phones and cellular systems.
SIP can be used for conferencing calling and adding or terminating users to the call. SIP, in technical terms, is transport independent and text based so that it can be read by humans so that they can analyse SIP messages.
Now that you have mastered SIP, let's talk about VoIP. Simply, VoIP means communicating using the internet. Breaking it down, V stands for voice, O for over, I for Internet and P Protocol. Voice over Internet Protocol allows you to implement the transmission of voice over the internet. VoIP can cut the cost of your communications internally within your business and externally with your clients.
WIFI is the trade name for the wireless technology used in home networks, mobile phones, video games and more.
WIFI is supported by nearly every modern PC operating system as well as a lot of advanced game consoles, printers and other types of peripherals.
Together, SIP, VoIP and WIFI create a communication platform that utilises the internet and allows you to communicate more efficiently and cheaply.
SIP, VoIP and WIFI allows you to be lifted from the confines of wired phones and enables you to have 3 way calls, call waiting, transfer calls as well as integrating video conferencing enabling you to get to know your clients and audience better.
Wireless LAN (Wifi Lan) Technology standard 802.11b has the strongest momentum to becoming the main standard for corporate internal wireless LAN networks. The bandwidth of 802.11b is 1 mbits and operates at 2.5 Ghz frequency.
The successor of this current 802.11b standard is 802.11a and it is designed to be faster speed and operate at a different frequency. While 802.11a standard and the technology behind it will be in the ner distant future, 802.11b is here today and many companies and even individuals are deploying and using it now.
