Radio Over IP To Save The Day


By Bertha Wells


Radio over IP or RoIP is essentially the same as VoIP which became very popular with services for making telephone calls using the Internet. In today's market it is always necessary to have to explain the need for something or to explain the reason for having it. For Radio over IP it is very simple. When a work crew is spread over a large geographic area Radio over IP becomes a service that you feel like you need.

This is often a "go to" service for many people in business. That is because with this technology you are able to spread out and service more nodes without taking the entire network down.The biggest competition or the biggest reason against using it is to just deploy a cell phone service.

With the RoIP system the infrastructure is the Internet. The Internet is an already established medium that already has a very robust infrastructure in place. The kinks have been worked out and dropped calls are not an issue with the systems in use today. This technology utilizes the Internet for its communications and as a result gets a much better service to the end user.

Cost is also another problem in business. The more of it you have, the less money your company can make. With this type of network the cost is all in the front. Meaning you pay for the phones up front and for the software to run the system. However you do not get poked and prodded every month for various taxes and fees like you would with a cell service regulated by the Federal Government.

The other advantage of these systems is that cable length does not become a factor. In other words, the company deploying the system is using the Internet and software to manage the communications. The system is already in place. The Internet is the system, and as such all the company needs is the phones and software.

Always up is something that many companies like to boast, but it is not something that they can always provide. With these networks your company is the network so you will at least always know what the issue is and never be left in the dark. The Internet being the backbone of your service will allow you a very large area to do business in as well. You will not be limited to small network areas like with some providers.

When it comes down to doing business, communications are a way to either a way to make or break a company or can be called in to save the day. There are often situations in which big decisions need to be made right away or something needs to take place in a moments notice. No company figure head wants to be caught "with their pants down" so-to-speak because they cannot get service to their phone.

With a push to talk network this will never be the case. In addition, the call takes place almost instantly. A cell phone service cannot boast the same. At least not right now. Technologies always catch up, but at the moment cell service does not have the speed to match this system. Radio over IP is not cutting edge, nor is it something that is so new that nobody understands it. The tech is in a good place right now and is perfect for many business models.
