VoIP is seeing wider adoption as organizations move from outdated copper to expanded IP infrastructure. As a result, FoIP (fax-over-IP / fax over a VoIP network) is ramping up quickly.
VoIP and FoIP use SIP and H.323 protocols. Both protocols enable T.38 fax transmission over an IP network, which helps to consolidate data and communications resources.
As a result, a single broadband resource can support cost-effective voice, fax, and data transmissions over a company’s IP networks. Furthermore, FoIP often is an excellent least cost routing (LCR) solution that lowers costs by using existing resources.
According to a survey of more than 500 digital fax solution users and potential users, the following benefits were the driving factors in implementing or considering a fax-over-IP solution:
Organizations planning for an all-IP environment are the likeliest to see a strong ROI on consolidating voice, fax and data communication.
Many teams see the benefit of T.38/fax-over-IP solutions but are understandably wary of migrating their business-critical telephony.
When properly configured, today's FoIP technology often exceeds the performance of antiquated copper lines for a fraction of the cost of similar throughput.
