There are many reasons VoIP is becoming popular in the industries around the globe. In fact, its market share exceeded 31.2 billion pounds in 2022 and is expected to keep growing (Global Market Insights 2023).<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s saving costs on international calls or facilitating communication among remote workers, VoIP systems<\/a><\/strong> are being integrated into many businesses. In this article, we will explore various VoIP examples and see how this technology is proving beneficial for those industries.<\/p>\n

But first, let\u2019s see which types of VoIP the industries use.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Types of VoIP used by businesses<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are 3 main types of VoIP used by businesses.<\/p>\n

1. In-house VoIP<\/h3>\n

An In-house VoIP system is a self-hosted setup that a business operates on its own premises. It is suitable for large-scale businesses that have a dedicated IT team. This system requires having an IP PBX system in the locality of the office so multiple VoIP devices can be connected.<\/p>\n

Other than that, it requires equipment like IP phones, VoIP gateways to connect the traditional phone lines to the VoIP network, routers, switches and SIP trunks to enable external calls (both audio and video).<\/p>\n

2. Hosted VoIP<\/h3>\n

A hosted VoIP or cloud VoIP system is managed by a VoIP service provider rather than the business. The infrastructure and the software needed are all installed on the premises of the VoIP provider; the businesses just subscribe to the service and access the VoIP features.<\/p>\n

This system doesn\u2019t require a PBX system. It simply needs VoIP phones, headsets, softphones and ethernet cables to connect the IP phones with other devices. <\/p>\n

3. Application solutions <\/h3>\n

Application solutions refer to ready-to-use VoIP applications like Skype, Slack and WhatsApp. It is perfect for small-scale startups and freelancers but if you have a large-scale business, it\u2019s recommended to opt for a hosted or in-house VoIP system.<\/p>\n

This is because these applications are not suited to handle large volumes of data and integration of third-party apps at a large scale. <\/p>\n
