How to Setup Business VOIP Network

Setting up VOIP for business is a completely different ball game and it requires careful planning and the availability of true broadband internet. You would also need to have a power backup solution – one that will need to consider the ground realities of your location.

Broadband Internet

VOIP (Voice over IP) makes use of internet to send and receive audio/video. How much data carrying capacity you will require (broadband) will depend on how many telephone lines you plan to connect to VOIP Network.

Broadband for Voice and Video

A single clear DVD quality audio / video link without time gaps or delays requires at least 500 Kbps bandwidth. But if you are looking for HD quality audio / video link then you need roughly 1.5 Mbps. Multiplying this figure by 1.5 times the number of telephone lines you require. The figure you arrive at will be the total bandwidth your VOIP network will require.

Broadband for voice only VOIP Network

A single, voice only telephone connection requires just 100kbps for crystal clear audio. You could further reduce the bandwidth by two-thirds by using compressed audio. The quality of the audio will depend on the compression software being offered by the service provider.

Over-compensate the Broadband Requirement

Broadband speed is never constant. There are peak periods and lean periods. On a shared network, expect broadband speeds to drop by as much as 30% to 40% during peak periods. It is therefore a good idea to over-compensate the broadband requirement by 50% for your new VOIP network.

The Router

The router is a piece of hardware that acts as the link and traffic controller for your computers and VOIP network. It connects your VOIP equipment to your broadband.

Always select a branded, top-of-the line, industrial strength router. Cheap routers will not only fail within months of installation, they are also easily hacked into. Also, cheap routers may not be fully compatible with your VOIP network resulting in less than ideal audio and video clarity. Your VOIP service provider is the best go-to company for advice on the best router for your VOIP network.

For best results, we recommend a separate broadband and routers for your Computer Services Richmond. These should work independent of your regular Wifi / broadband network.
