Secure VoIP 'can bring peace of mind'

Encrypted voice and data communication can help even the most security-conscious network administrators find cost savings through the use of VoIP, it has been claimed.

Writing for Arabian Business, Antoine Abi Antoun of Patton Electronics noted that through the use of secure methods of voice encryption, there are possibilities for numerous cost savings through infrastructure improvements.

"Secure voice encryption with VoIP-VPN technology lets users communicate with utmost confidence, so, even the most security-conscious network administrators can save money with converged infrastructures for VoIP, voice and data communication," he said.

Using VoIP can allow various infrastructure parts to be consolidated and can help to remove phone charges, he added, noting that such developments are particularly beneficial for helping to reduce costs.

A number of commentators have suggested that the use of VoIP is likely to grow considerably this year as more people come to realise the benefits it can bring to businesses.
