If you haven't figured it out already, the IT world is full of acronyms. Here at LightBound we work with several acronyms on a daily basis like WAN, VPN, and PBX. You may not be the IT person at your company, but there is a good chance you come across terms like these. One of the latest technologies that can help your business is VoIP. 


Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a relatively newer tool that has been developed (like so many other recent services) from the digital era. This technology allows you to make telephone calls over a data network. The VoIP converts the voice signal from your telephone into a digital signal that travels over the data network, and then converts itself back at the other end so you can speak to anyone with a regular phone number.  

What does this mean?
Simply put- your computer, along with your data network, acts as your voice service provider.

Why choose a VoIP?

• Lower cost- No more dealing with multiple providers for separate voice and Internet access services. If you have a T1 circuit or higher bandwidth Internet connection, you don't need to maintain separate lines and to pay more to do so.
• Increased functionality- Because VoIP is digital, it can offer features and services that are not available with a traditional phone.
• No limitations- You can call anyone who has a telephone number, including local, long distance, mobile, 411 operating assistance, and international numbers.
• Total solution- More functionality at a lower price allows organizations to focus personnel and budget on core business activity. 

LightBound offers VoIP services that allow for all of these benefits, along with the convenience of integrating with (most) current phone systems without the hassle of changing phone numbers, direct inward dial (DID) numbers, or toll-free numbers.
