Voice over IP Telephone

VOIP is an acronym for Voice Over Internet Protocol, or in more common terms phone service over the Internet. If you have a reasonable quality Internet connection you can get phone service delivered through your Internet connection instead of from your local phone company. And because VoIP is using the internet for transmission, the costs associated with it are significantly less. Here at CGI we pass that savings on to you.

VoIP was once thought of as an unreliable technology has become the operating standard for many residential and commercial users around the world.  New technology is continually introducing new ways to make VoIP even more stable than it is today.

There are two ways that CGI uses for VoIP transmission.  The first utilizes your current telephone equipment and a device called an Analog Telephone Adapter or ATA.  The ATA is configured to use your internet connection to transfer your telephone conversation digitally over the internet. CGI will provide this device to you as part of the $50.00 setup fee.  

The second way that CGI transmits our VoIP service is by using digital VoIP telephones like the ones manufactured by Polycom and Cisco. These telephones have the technology built in to them that allows them to connect to your network like a computer would in order to make phone calls. CGI offers a full line of Cisco and Polycom IP Phones. Due to the varying costs in IP Phone technology, please contact Sales for a quote.
