Session Initiation Protocol<\/b> (SIP<\/b>) is a fancy acronym for a type of VoIP phone call service. VoIP basically means a phone call made using the internet.\u00a0 There are many types of VoIP connections, but SIP is generally regarded as the best service for businesses.
\nWhile VoIP\u00a0can be effective, it’s not as viable and the quality is not as good\u00a0as SIP. \u00a0Also, while VoIP carries your voice calls only, SIP can transfer all forms of multimedia. That makes it perfect for voice calls,\u00a0video conferencing, and any other form of media communications.<\/p>\n
SIP services use digital data to send and receive information using the internet. If\u00a0you’ve got an IP enabled phone system, it will connect directly. If, however, you’ve got an older system that uses analogue data, you will have to use a device called an Analogue Telephone adapter (ATA). This device will\u00a0translate the data into digital information\u00a0that can traverse the internet.<\/p>\n
Every office has an internet connection that’s used for general use like email, web browsing, and downloading files and videos. In some cases, using this same data connection for your VoIP or SIP calls will be fine. However, if the connection is not reliable enough,\u00a0the first thing that will be impacted will be your phone calls. When a large fie is downloaded, or a video is streamed, your connection will slow down and you’ll experience interruption and even dropouts in your calls.<\/p>\n
In most cases, a second, separate data connection is required – one that ONLY carries your SIP calls. While it does mean paying for another service, it will guarantee that none of your general internet use will impact your phone calls.
