Are you ready to explore the world of VoIP? In this demo,
we will be diving into some of the most popular VoIP
service providers available in the market.
Let's start with Microsoft Teams. This cloud‑based platform is a game
changer in the world of unified communication and collaboration,
which provides features like voice calls,
video calls, presence of the users, voicemail,
call conferencing,
and much more for the users to collaborate together using
the Teams application software installed on different
devices like their computer, tablet, mobile phones,
and from anywhere, as long as the device has internet connectivity. There are so
many services Microsoft Teams offer, including VoIP calls,
video calls, meetings,
conferencing for business users, and so on. Apart from the Microsoft
Teams client application software for the end users, there are
different vendors who make physical IP phone running Teams
applications in them. They are Android‑based phones from different
vendors like Poly, Crestron, AudioCodes,
Yealink, etc. Next up is Zoom.
It's no surprise that the platform has become a household
name in the world of VoIP. Users can use Zoom on different
devices like their computers, laptops, cell phones,
tablets,
etc, on the go. Just like Microsoft Teams, there are many vendors
who provide physical IP phones for end users that run the Zoom
application software. Zoom offers different services for different
purposes including VoIP calls, meeting conferencing solutions,
etc, for different size of organization. Cisco Webex is another
cloud‑based platform that provides a host of VoIP and collaboration
features. This is also like Microsoft Teams and Zoom,
a cloud‑based unified communication and collaboration service
provider, which provides VoIP calls, video calls,
meetings, presence, conferencing,
and so on. If you look at its offering, it also has different
feature‑rich solutions for different purposes. From personal and small
businesses to enterprise customer, Webex is perfect for any size of
the organization. Apart from the Webex application, Cisco has its own
devices, including IP phones, for the end users.
These IP phones work with the Cisco Unified Communication and
Collaboration service, providing rich UC features,
and they also have products with large screens and built‑in speakers to
provide a better user experience to the end users.
Now, let's take a look at Cisco Unified Communication and Collaboration
infrastructure service, which support voice and video calls, instant messaging,
voicemail services, etc. These servers are deployed in on‑prem data centers to
process audio and video calls for the end users.
In comparison to cloud‑based solutions,
these on‑prem servers give you a lot more flexibility in terms of design
and configuration. Now, let's take a look at Google Meet, Google's
solution to VoIP and more. Meet offers users a simple yet effective way
to communicate and collaborate. With the ability to join meetings from
any device and the flexibility of cloud‑based services, Meet is perfect
for those who are already using Google Workspace solution. All of these
solutions,
whether they are on‑prem or cloud‑based, software application‑based
clients, or physical IP phones, they all have evolved from the
concept of Voice over IP, and have revolutionized the way we work
and communicate. And you see, VoIP has come a long way, it's not
just about voice calls, it's about video calls, meeting, collaboration, and much more.
