VoIP

VoIP technology (Voice over Internet Protocol), or, as it is often called, IP telephony, is a system for digitizing voice signals and sending them over a digital network. The digital network used can be a LAN (Local Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network) or the Internet itself. The amazing aspect of VoIP, and especially important in the context of Homeland Security, is its ability to create a network by connecting existing radio systems regardless of makes, modes or frequencies. In regards to on-the-scene communication and dispatch, VoIP technology means emergency personnel from various agencies responding to a scene could possibly communicate between each other, and with central dispatch consoles, no matter what type of communications system they employed.

There are additional advantages of using VoIP technology. Its use can result in huge savings on the amount of physical resources required to communicate by voice over long distances. This is because it works around circuit switching architecture, one of the fundamental drawbacks of traditional telephone networks.
