Voice Over IP

In mining, fiber optic networks are increasingly replacing the classic data transmission for control and logistics. The worldwide Ethernet standard up to now has been used mainly for data transmission. The copper wire telephone and intercom networks installed have had to continue to be maintained and extended in parallel alongside the fiber optic networks. Our Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system now integrates both data and voice transmission in one common network. The innovative voice communication system thus revolutionizes voice communication in mining. VoIP is telephony via computer networks. In the process the voices are digitized, broken down into small packets, transferred, and reassembled at the receiver. The result is a high voice quality without interference. Cost reduction is a further advantage of the VoIP system as it eliminates the installation and maintenance of a separate copper wired telephone network. VoIP integrates all known functions from classic telephony and intercom technology into a digital Ethernet network and includes many new functions only available using this digital technology. The entire system can be configured and maintained aboveground.
