Introduction to Voice over IP

 

Voice over IP (Voice over Internet Protocol or "VoIP") technology converts voice calls from analog to digital to be sent over digital data networks. This allows Case to use its existing data network (which includes fiber or copper wiring between and within buildings, and Cisco routers and switches) to also transport telephone service throughout the campus. By offering Voice over IP, or VoIP, Case is moving toward a "converged" network, where voice, data, and video all travel along the Case gigabit network.
