An Introduction to VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)JISC Techwatch by Jane Dudman; 31 pages; PDF.
Voice over IP (VoIP) is a telecommunications technology that transmits and delivers voice calls using the packet-based IP protocols and network technologies associated with the Internet. The technology has been considerably developed and refined in recent years and is gaining widespread public recognition and adoption through consumer solutions such as Skype and BT’s strategy of moving to an IP-based network. This adoption is beginning to spread into the F&HE domains with a number of institutions implementing VoIP and through work being undertaken by UKERNA. The technology offers opportunities for the development of new applications and educational services particularly through the potential for converging voice with other media and data.
This JISC TechWatch report examines VoIP, its technologies, standards and issues, and, in particular, focuses on potential applications and uses in F&HE through development of new converged services to help facilitate distance and collaborative learning and assist those with disabilities.
