Switching to VoIP?
As VoIP gets more popular among large businesses, Canada’s major communications companies, like MTS, are making sure they can help their users make the switch. If you’re thinking of moving your business over to VoIP, Greg Burch of MTS says to start by contacting your current MTS representative, who will evaluate your situation based on the size and focus of your business and create a set up that caters to your specific needs.

VoIP Terms And Acronyms:

Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA)
An ATA converts analog telephone signals into digital “packets”. Adapter boxes may also convert digital signals into several different forms such as audio, data and video. When adapter boxes convert into multiple formats, they may be called multimedia terminal adapters (MTAs) or integrated access devices (IADs). Some systems provide IP phones, which have a built-in analog transmission adapter.

 

Internet Protocol Private Branch
Exchange (IPBX) or (IP PBX)

An IP PBx uses Internet protocol to provide telephone service within a building or office local area network (LAN). An IP telephone server processes call functions and controls access to other IP PBxs in a wide area network (WAN) and to the traditional phone network beyond the office.

Public Switched
Telephone Network (PSTN)

The PSTN is the network of transmission and switching facilities, signaling processors and support systems that allow communication devices to work.
