Business VoIP providers technology

VoIP is rapidly becoming the norm for business communications. However, as with any technology that relies on using the internet, it raises issues surrounding security.

Running voice over your data network is not inherently less secure than any other internet application. However, there are still challenges in ensuring that it is implemented safely and securely.



Voice over IP brazil telegram isn’t new, the technology has been around for many years, but it’s only the advent of faster, fibre-based networks in recent years that has really seen it take off as the preferred method of offering voice services.

It’s understandably attractive to enterprises because VoiP can offer dramatically lower call costs compared with traditional PSTN services. There are other advantages, not least of which is flexibility. It’s easier to scale the service as the business expands or to cope with seasonal variations in demand. As businesses look to replace their PABXs, switching to VoIP also offers the opportunity to cut hardware costs and reclaim some space by hosting call handling in the cloud.

The fact that major telephone providers are looking to switch off their PSTN services and go over completely to VoIP means that it will be coming to most organisations sooner rather than later, so it’s a good idea to plan for it now.

Voice and Ethernet
Internally, your VoIP traffic will be carried on your Ethernet backbone. You may worry that this leaves it open to eavesdropping by anyone on the network, but this is not the case. It might have been true in the past when Ethernet traffic was daisy-chained on a co-ax cable, but today almost all Ethernets are switched.

This means that although, in theory, you can reach any endpoint on the network, the traffic between two points on the network is only available to those two points. This means that the VoIP packets making up a conversation are only available to the endpoints taking part and the switches in between. Interception of the call is therefore not impossible, but it does require specialist equipment and actually represents a lower risk than that associated with traditional telephony.
