VoIP

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a technology that allows for the transmission of voice and multimedia communications over the Internet. It converts voice signals into digital data packets and sends them over the internet or other packet-switched networks, enabling users to make telephone calls or participate in video conferences without needing traditional telephone lines.
