What’s the Deal with VoIP?
A reliable VoIP phone system is no longer just a technical upgrade — it’s a strategic move for businesses that want to stay competitive. Traditional phone systems are expensive to maintain, lack flexibility, and struggle to support the modern needs of remote and hybrid work. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) uses your internet connection to make and receive calls, providing flexibility, cost savings, and features that outdated systems simply can’t match.
According to the FCC, VoIP technology is transforming the way businesses communicate. At Saltech Systems, we help companies of all sizes upgrade their communication systems with customized VoIP solutions that align with their business goals.
Defining VoIP Phones: Technology That Transforms Communication
VoIP phones send calls over the internet rather than traditional copper lines. They include:
-
Desk phones connected via Ethernet or Wi‑Fi
-
Softphones—applications on desktop or mobile devices
-
Mobile VoIP apps for flexibility on the go
These cloud-based systems support hybrid and remote teams with seamless routing. For a broader overview, see the FCC’s detailed VoIP guide.
