3. Abstract
With the aim of reducing communication costs, efforts of
integrating voice and data networks have been a rising
priority for many companies.
Organisation have been working on the solutions which
would make the use the excess capacity on broadband
networks for voice and data transmission ,as well as
utilize internet and company intranet as alternatives to
expensive systems.
At the same time more and more companies are seeing
the value of transporting voice over IP networks.
4. INTRODUCTION
Voice over IP (VOIP), otherwise known as IP telephony, is the delivery of
voice information over Internet Protocol (IP) packet switched networks.
This means sending voice information in digital form in discrete packets
rather than in the traditional circuit-committed protocols of the public
switched telephone network (PSTN).A major advantage ofVOIP is that it
can avoid the tolls charged by ordinary telephone service by utilising fixed
charge IP network services such as broadband. Recent development with
SIP (see below) technology and hardware supporting this standard has
resulted in the production of a number of commercially marketed SIP
handsets, both wired and wireless networks, removing the need for a PC
or laptop running a software handset, or “softphone”, to connect toVOIP
services.A subscription to a local server from a SIP handset or softphone
provides you with all the normal telephony features including voice and fax,
as well as text and even video services.
5. What is VoIP?
VoIP is packetisation and transport of
classic public switched telephone system
audio over an IP network.
It allows 2-way voice transmission over
broadband connection.
It is also called IP telephony, internet telephony, voice over
broadband, broadband telephony.
6. PSTN vs. INTERNET
PSTN
Voice network use circuit
switching.
Dedicated path between
calling and called party.
Bandwidth reserved in
advance.
Cost is based on distance
and time.
INTERNET
Data network use packet
switching.
No dedicated path between
sender and receiver.
It acquires and releases
bandwidth, as it needed.
Cost is not based on
distance and time.

10. VoIP – How does it work?
The 1-2-3s of VoIP
1. Compression – voice is compressed
typically with one of the following codecs, G7.11
64k, G7.29AB 8k, G723.1 6.3k
2. Encapsulation – the digitized voice is
wrapped in an IP packet
3. Routing – the voice packet is routed thru
the network to its final destination

17. VoIP Gateway
A VoIP gateway is a gateway device that uses Internet
Protocols to transmit and receive voice communications
(VoIP).
18. VoIP Codecs
Codecs are used to convert an analog voice signal to
digitally encoded version. Codecs vary in the sound
quality, the bandwidth required, the computational
requirements, etc.

CONCLUSION
MOS- Mean Opinion Score, a measure of voice quality score, each codecs has its own bandwidth requirements, VoIP normal delay is 100ms, so 3.5 is a good quality achievement
