What is VOIP?
Voice-Over-IP is a simple term that means your voice signal is carried over internet terminted cable (like Cat5 or Cat6) rather than over analog copper telephone lines. VOIP offers superior call quality and control, without sacrifice. In the next decade, most telephone traffic will be routed fully from end-to-end on VOIP, merging telephony with the internet world. A phone system from Grandstream is postured to handle that change gracefully, unlike some of the older brands like Nortel, Panasonic, Meridian, etc.
What is On-Premise?
On-premise equipment is mounted (and usually fully owned) by you, the business, in much the same way as your existing or previous phone system. It gets installed in your electrical room or networking room, and once complete, offers you superior quality calls without the burden of subscription fees.
What is Cloud VOIP?
Cloud VOIP is similar to cloud services like Google, Amazon, etc; the equipment is installed in a data center somewhere else in the world and your phones connect to it over the internet, achieving the same call quality and configuration options without having the equipment yourself. Cloud services usually come with subscription fees and ongoing support requirements.
