The range and scope of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) applications are increasing day by day. From the days of Skype calling to today’s long distance VoIP call center, the journey of VoIP has been incredibly fast. Companies like PowerNet Global (News - Alert) have revolutionized the VoIP space by introducing technologies that have literally erased the communications barrier in small and medium businesses. Thanks to VoIP call center and other IP based technologies that deliver communications over unlicensed Internet spectrum, small businesses are able to enjoy all communications facilities once considered affordable to only large enterprises.
In one of the recent announcements in the VoIP industry in the U.K, Sangoma Technologies (News - Alert) Corporation, a provider of hardware and software components that enable or enhance IP Communications Systems for both voice and data, has procured the Best VoIP CPE Solution Award from Internet Telephony (News - Alert) Services Providers’ Association (ITSPA).
