What is VoIP?
VoIP stands for Voice of Internet Protocol. You are probably familiar with VoIP from solutions such as Skype and Vonage. However, VoIP goes beyond voice and even Skype can do video conferencing if you have a camera attached to your computer. While Skype and Vonage may be effective solutions for personal or home use, business grade communications can now be found through advanced Open Source VoIP solutions based on Asterisk. Asterisk has been maturing since 2001 and has grown into a feature rich and reliable communications tool.
