VoIP Benefits when used with Asterisk
Asterisk can work with both Traditional Phone lines PSTN and VoIP, VoIP uses substantially less bandwidth than a traditional telephone call and is consequently more cost effective. There are however several other benefits to using this technology.
- Cost Effective and Efficient
- You'll find it to be a lot cheaper than your normal PSTN landline telephone cost, be it short or long distance calls. However, the cost varies from one voip provider to another.
- Scalabable
- Traditional PABX (Private Automatic Branch Exchange) phone systems are available in many size ranges and it may be required periodically to scrap existing systems and replace hardware; this is not the case with VoIP systems. In words VoIP is extremely stretchable with growth of your telephony needs.
- Functionality
- Asterisk-based telephony solutions offer an extremely rich and flexible feature set. Asterisk offers both classical PBX functionality along with advanced features, and interoperates with traditional standards-based telephony systems and Voice over IP systems. Asterisk includes features that one would only expect of a large proprietary PBX system such as Voicemail, Auto Attendant, Conference Bridging, Call Queuing, Call Detail Records, and much more.
- Reduce operating costs
- Since a VoIP exchange (Asterisk) is based on software rather than hardware, it is easier to engineer and maintain.
- Improve productivity
- VoIP deals voice as if it were any other form of data, so users can attach documents to voice messages or participate in virtual meetings using shared data and videoconferencing. Simply it is much more than voice alone!
- Flexibility
- A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an allocated and dedicated amount of bandwidth on the public Internet where public access is kept out through encryption. If your company has its own VPN and incorporate it with VoIP, you can set up a fully functioning office anywhere there is a broadband internet connection.
