What is Internet Telephony?

Also called IP telephony, Internet Telephony uses the Internet rather than the traditional telephone companies copper wire infrastructure to make and receive phone calls. Communication protocols used to carry voice signals over the IP network are commonly referred to as Voice over IP or VoIP protocols.

General Internet Telephony Information:


 

How Internet Telephony Works

Internet Telephony, the making and receiving of phone calls over the Internet, is as easy with SunRocket's Internet Phone Service as it is with a traditional landline telephone. SunRocket Service is based on a technology called Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP). SunRocket takes analog voice conversations and converts them into data packets that can be sent across the Internet using a high-speed broadband connection, such as a Cable or DSL. At the other end, the data packets are converted back into a signal that the conventional telephone system can deliver. Thus, you can use regular telephones at both ends - the number you are calling does not need to have an Internet connection or computer.

Most Common Ways to Make Internet Phone Calls

There are two common types of equipment that you can use to make VoIP calls over the Internet and to take advantage of all the benefits of VoIP service. With SunRocket Internet Phone Service, you have the option to use either one of these methods.

The simplest and most common way is through the use of a device called an ATA (analog telephone adaptor). The ATA is an analog-to-digital converter. It is a device that allows you to connect your standard phone to your Internet connection for use with VoIP service. The telephone adapter converts voice signals from your telephone into the digital "IP" format required for transmission over your broadband connection. The adapter is connected to your DSL or cable modem, your PC or router, and to any digital phone.

SunRocket Internet Phone Service offers an ATA device called a gizmo and the set-up is easy:


Plug & Play Means Easy Set-Up


Another way to use VoIP is to use a broadband phone. Broadband phones have the adapter and necessary software built-in, but instead of having the standard RJ-11 phone connectors, Internet phones have an RJ-45 Ethernet connector.

SunRocket Internet Phone Service offers a broadband phone, the ATS 6001S, with the adapter built into the base unit, so there's no need for extra equipment. The ATS 6001S Base Unit plugs directly into your broadband or WiFi router. It is easy to install - simply Plug-in & Talk. Plus, add up to three additional cordless handsets.
