VOICE OVER INTERNET PROTOCOL (VOIP) TECHNOLOGY {EBS-243}
In today's modern home, computers have become a staple like the stove and refrigerator of years gone past. Computers bring information into the home via the Internet; control the thermostat while you're out of town; they can even turn on the lights and close the blinds for you in the evening. So it comes as no surprise that computers are now being used for "phone calls." Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is the use of a computer for verbal communication—users are able to use the computer as they would their old phone lines. As demand for VoIP increases in the home, so does the need for skilled VoIP technicians. Heathkit Educational Systems (HES) has created a course that introduces the fundamentals and basic principles of VoIP technology. Through hands-on experiments and detailed exercises, students will be given a solid foundation for an exciting new career in VoIP.
