VOIP and Highlighting Wifi Security | CCCPA

The introduction of VOIP (Voice/Video Over Internet Protocol) based business phone systems has helped highlight many issues of Internet security and communication protection for businessowners and managers alike. These issues were in existence before VOIP telephone systems. VOIP communications has raised our attention to Wifi security, and this is a very good thing. In this article, we take a look at Internet security issues focusing on Wifi, and VOIP communication systems.

VOIP Security

The best thing about VOIP communication applications is that developers are very aware of the problems related to security. Security is an important issue for any company choosing VOIP communication. A VOIP application can replace our email, file transfer, telephone calling and other communication tools. Using the Internet to make calls and video calls is only one element of an application today.

VOIP was developed to convert analogue signals (our speech as transmitted with normal telephone lines) into digital signals. Once we have a digital signal (data), we can use the Internet to transfer that information. That was the job of the original VOIP application.

From that, software developers have added those other applications, such as email, file transfer tools and the like. In the early days, these were separate and innovative applications. Now we can integrate them easily into a single application ? and a whole lot more.

Encryption

Internet options depend on your region. ADSL is the most common high-speed Internet, and it is sold as a broadband connection. It is not a true broadband connection. ADSL uses traditional telephone networks by forcing data down the connection. A true broadband connection will incorporate an outside connection other than a traditional telephone line.

There is nothing like having a real high-speed Internet connection. In the big cities of mainland China, for example, a company will pay for real high-speed broadband connections, and the speeds are amazing. WebPages for instance, will load in the blink of an eye. Talk to suppliers in your region and look at the options available for business. Business Internet options are normally much broader than we are aware of. ADSL is just the connection we get as standard when we are connecting Internet to our office.

Finally, do not forget about having a second option for connection. 3g Wifi is an excellent second option for your Internet. If all else fails for one reason or another, you can use the mobile network of your region to keep you online until normality is restored.

Office Network

Essentially, business systems work best with cabled networks. This is because cable is still more stable when compared with the general level of Wifi setups. If you have a strong Wifi setup in your office, Wifi is an excellent option because you can move your devices around freely.

Setting up a strong Wifi is not difficult. All you need is a strong broadcasting router. These are available online, and push out stronger Wifi signals than the regular Wifi routers for home use. If you are using cables, your office network connections should be strong, and your cables should be laid out cleanly, avoiding power cables (including those running through the walls, and any other electro-magnetic influences).

Wifi broadcasting devices should be set away from interference, and be set high in your office ? this will give them clear broadcasting ability. Wifi can penetrate many surfaces, including concrete, but it struggles with glass, for example, because the Wifi signals bounce off the glass. Summing up, a clean office network with strong signals is what?s required.

If you have these foundations of good Internet, you are ready for VOIP. A vendor?s system, will either supply you with their system directly over the Internet through their own dedicated servers, or they will work with a server (or for older servers, a terminal emulator) in your own office. You can have the application running on your own server, or on a dedicated server, but whatever the case, you need your own internet connection, your own office power and your own network running fast and running ?cleanly? and smoothly ? all the time.
