Future of Voice-over-Internet Protocol Telephony

Internet telephony refers to communications services—voice, facsimile, and/or voice-messaging applications—that are transported via the Internet, rather than the public switched telephone network (PSTN). The basic steps involved in originating an Internet telephone call are conversion of the analog voice signal to digital format and compression/translation of the signal into Internet protocol (IP) packets for transmission over the Internet; the process is reversed at the receiving end. | Voice over Internet Protocol Definition Internet telephony refers to communications services voice facsimile and or voice-messaging applications that are transported via the Internet rather than the public switched telephone network PSTN .
