Can you call 911 (US) or 112 (EU) with VoIP?

C

Yes, Most VoIP Providers offer calling to 911/112 services. The original system only connected the caller to the police station and no physical location was provided. Nowadays the physical location of the caller is shared with the Emergency Service in an automated manner.

What are the disadvantages of VoIP?

W

VoIP (Voice over IP) is mature digital communication technology. There are a few limitations that include the dependency on a high bandwidth connection, latency in communication lines, and jitter amidst VoIP Phone calls and least location tracking options.

VoIP is only as good as your Internet connection. To implement VoIP as a full-fledged Business Phone, much attention to detail must be given to the connection, and the type of equipment being used by the Internet Service Provider. A good connection has ping and jitter less than 70ms. There must be the least latency and better stability to carry out seamless communication.

In addition to this, VoIP Phones are vulnerable to Cybersecurity hacks and eavesdropping’s over the VoIP connections. Hacktivists find VoIP phones easy targets if Cybersecurity measures and security methods are not implemented.

Is Skype for Business a VoIP?

I

Originally, when Skype was launched, it was a proprietary VoIP system. However, Microsoft has made quite enhancements in its back-end infrastructure and it has now completely moved to a cloud-based service powered by Azure. However, Skype for Business can essentially be used and connected with a SIP Trunk to carry outcalls.

Originally, Skype came from a more distributed system. Every device that needed to communicate over Skype had to install a client application due to which it became a node in a network of nodes. The communication was carried out via the Peer-to-Peer network and used the Skype Protocol. Presently, Skype for Business has emerged as a centralized Cloud-based infrastructure in which call management is more controlled and streamlined. Today, Skype can be integrated well into the Business Phone system which includes SIP Phones or VoIP Phones.
