Voice over IP networks provides the user the opportunity to enjoy the use of telephone services through their Internet connection. Several providers of VoIP offer packages in varying degrees. These packages allow the user to have primarily the same features they have with their traditional phone service. Along with the added benefit of using their computer to make calls by having a “soft phone” in the same window as their instant messages. There are two different types of service for Voice over IP networks: hardware VoIP and software VoIP.

Several providers of telephone services are also offering Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services. They know that it is less expensive to carry voice traffic over Internet protocol (IP) networks than the public switched telephone networks (PSTN). The reason that Voice over IP networks can carry this traffic cheaper is because IP networks make better use of the bandwidth that is available. When making a call the voice changes from analog to digital, it is then highly compressed and carried in packets over the IP networks. With this technology, the Voice over IP networks can carry a significantly higher volume of calls as the PSTN and provide better voice quality. In addition, the customers benefit with the savings passed down to them through lower rates and paying for one bill for two services.

Software VoIP benefits those who do a great deal of travel or limited phone use at home. It is great for wireless set-ups. When you set up an account with

Cable Television (TV) networks deliver TV broadcasts from TV stations to cable TV subscriber homes. Digital TV broadcasts using VHF and UHF frequencies between 47 MHz to 862 MHz. Each TV channel occupies 6 MHz bandwidth and modulated using 64/128/256 QAM before combines together with all other channels at the cable TV headend. Coaxial cables are used to deliver the TV RF signals to the subscriber homes. The frequency band below 47 MHz is used to carry return path traffic from the subscribers to the cable TV headend.

In order for the cable TV network to delivery high speed data services, a set of cable network communication interface and operation support standards call DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Standards) are developed by the cable industry. There are four version of DOCSIS; Versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0. DOCSIS 1.0 enables cable TV operators to provide internet access up to 36 Mbps downstream over their HFC (Hybrid Fiber Coax) networks. Version 1.1 adds QoS (Quality of Service) capability to enable cable TV networks to deliver voice and streaming services (IP multicast). Version 2.0 enhanced the upstream speed (30 Mbps maximum) using 64 QAM modulation and 6.4 MHz upstream channel bandwidth to accommodate increase in demand of symmetric services (e.g. IP telephony). DOCSIS 3.0 significant increases the downstream speed (to 160 Mbps) and upstream speed (to 120Mbps) by bonding multiple upstream and downstream channels. Version 3.0 also introduces support for IPv6.

Edmonton’s emergency services have issued a warning about the use of voice-over-Internet-protocol (VoIP) phone service following the death of a Calgary toddler.

Eighteen-month-old Elijah Luck died after his family called 911 over a VoIP phone and the ambulance was dispatched to their former home in Ontario instead of their current home in Calgary.

It took two ambulances 40 minutes to get to him thanks to one ambulance being dispatched to the wrong city. The tragic death of 18-month-old Elijah Luck demonstrates the critical differences between the 911 services of traditional land-lines and phone companies that now use voice over Internet technology.

Elijah Luck went into medical distress and his family made an emergency call for an ambulance. However thanks to the nomadic VOIP service they were using the emergency services were shown the wrong address information and dispatched an ambulance in Mississauga, Ontario, more than twenty-five-hundred miles away.

Comwave says the Internet phone technology is transportable so there’s no physical address attached to the numbers.

Cellphones work better than “nomadic” connections — like those used by VoIP phone providers Comwave and Vonage — because emergency responders get a phone number and a location of the nearest cellphone tower, but are still more limited than landlines, said Terry Owen, director of technology services with the City of Edmonton’s community services branch.

Devon Card, branch manager of operational services for the City of Edmonton, said enhanced 911 — available through fixed VoIP systems, like those offered by Shaw puts you through to
