VoIP News & Information

Video phone calling technology has been around for quite some time. It holds a very promising future. Despite this, it has never seemed to gain the sort of prominence many folks would have thought.

The problem with video phone calling (not skype), is that the experience is not plug-n-play. And it needs to be.

HD VoIP: Part 2 With Polycom Co-Founder Jeffery Rodman

Unless you have been living under a rock for the last year, you probably have read, seen or if you are lucky, experienced what many to consider to be VoIP’s killer feature: High Definition (HD) calling. Pioneered, brought to market and championed by Polycom through their HD Voice technology, HD VoIP is quickly gaining thousands of converts as it’s popularity continues to swell as this next wave of more discerning converts finally switch to VoIP.

Who is Representing Your VoIP Company?

Microsoft is Coming! Windows is Coming!

Five years. More specifically, the last five years. Where have they gone?
