Fundamentals of VoIP and IP Telecom Networks

Overview

Introduction:

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and IP telecom networks form the foundation of modern communication systems, replacing legacy telephony with flexible, scalable, and feature rich digital solutions. These technologies enable the convergence of voice, video, and data across unified infrastructures, supporting organizations in achieving operational efficiency and cost effectiveness. VoIP operates through structured protocols and architectures that ensure quality, security, and interoperability. This training program introduces systematic frameworks, models, and methods governing VoIP and IP telephony systems.
