IP Telephony
Do you remember how traditional landlines used to work? How would one stand near the landline for a call or the voice used to crack a lot? Eventually those traditional landlines got phased out and were replaced by IP Telephone Systems.
IP Telephony or Internet Protocol Telephony transmits voice, video, messages, fax etc. in the form of data packets, thus providing more flexible and economic communication methods.
Now we all rely on our mobile phones for a call, but ever wondered how does your voice reach the other end and how are you able to listen to what they are saying? It’s all done using IP Telephony where VoIP or Voice over Internet Protocol technology is used to transmit the voice signal into small data packets using an IP network.
But How Does this Happen?
Let’s understand how IP Telephony works.
1. Voice Conversion or Digitization:
The analog voice signals received over the softphone application are converted into the digital packets using codecs.
2. Data or Packet Transmission:
The digital packets are transmitted over the internet using SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), RTP (Real-Time Transport Protocol) and RTCP (Real-Time Transport Control Protocol).
3. Packet Reassembly or Receiving Voice Data:
The above digitized packets are reassembled and converted into audio notes at the recipient’s end.
4. Delivery of the Audio
After all the reassembling of packets, the receiver is able to hear the information as audio as a part of real time communication.
What are the Core Elements of IP Telephony?
While understanding the basics of how it works, we must be aware of what are the key components of this telephony.

These devices are responsible for connecting traditional telephone networks to IP Telephony, thus enabling the communication via traditional to modern technology.
6. Session Border Controllers (SBCs):
These provide security and manage traffic between different networks, ensuring authorized access only
