VoIP Glossary

VoIP:
Voice over Internet Protocol

Sending voice traffic over internet-based networks. Originally designed for data, IP network technology has evolved to accommodate voice signals. Like broadband, VoIP has both business class and residential class flavors.

IP Telephony (aka IPT):
Internet Protocol Telephony

Synonymous with "VoIP," "IP Telephony" is often used to refer to business class solutions, where "VoIP" is gaining popularity as the term to refer to both business class and residential class technology.

Unified Communications:
The integration of all communication forms, devices, and media across converged networks.

Unified Communications allow for anyone, anytime, anywhere communication. The more a business unifies its communication systems, the more functionality that business can enjoy.
