By Adriana Noton | August 14, 2010
The use of digital technologies in business is relatively new. An open source software package which uses the Internet for a variety of telecommunication purposes is having an impact. The Asterisk phone system has the potential to revitalize business telephony. Through the use of digital technology, high quality calls are being made to computers, mobile and land-line phones.
Digital technology has allowed for the development of VOIP. Voice over Internet Protocol, uses the Internet for making telephone calls. This technology digitizes the voice and video components of the call and transmits them over the Internet. When they are received, they are converted back into voice and video. Due to the number of devices which can make and receive these calls, this technology is becoming more popular.
Digital voice calls can use a lot of data, so they need to be sent on reliable and fast connections. The sending of video calls, sends an even larger volume of digital information. Governments and telecommunications companies are investing in reliable, high speed fiber-optic technologies. As these technological advances improve, more telecommunications options will become available.
Phone calls over the Internet, have the potential to save a lot of money. Calls from computer to computer are free, except for Internet usage charges. Calls to land lines can cost less than ordinary phone calls. With phones able to connect to the Internet through wireless routers, desktop phones and IP-PBX phone systems, these phones have the capability to revolutionize businesses and homes.
Open source call center software will enable any business to become even more competitive. The ability to receive and manage calls from customers, and potential customers is a crucial part of all businesses. Because of the open design of this software, it can be configured to suit the individual needs of any company. The technology of call management, allows for a customer’s details to be linked to the phone system, enabling quicker response times.
Internet protocol-private business exchanges (IP-PBX), are another digital technology which is changing organizational telecommunications. These exchanges are helping organizations to save money, by using the Internet to route their phone calls. Companies can save even more off the balance sheet, by getting their non-office based staff to use Internet mobile phone. These portable devices allow free calls over the Internet.
Crackly long distance and international calls are now a thing of the past. Calls made over the Internet are crystal clear. If the call is made from computer to computer, it is possible to make free video calls, day or night. It is also possible to send documents, sound and video files, to the person with whom you are talking. With the use of a web-cam, a headset and a microphone, it is possible to communicate with people from any where in the world.
With digital technology improving constantly, better communication options will continue to be developed. For organizations and companies to keep pace with the changes, they will need a flexible and adaptable telecommunications package.
