What is Hosted VoIP?

Hosted VoIP or managed VoIP

Hosted VoIP or managed VoIP can save companies a lot of money because they don’t have to invest in the equipment. We are talking about a system which manages calls and routes them to and from the subscriber’s existing telephony system. Unlike the circuit-switched telephony that uses the traditional Public Switched Telephone Network or PSTN, hosted VoIP uses packet switched telephony to transmit calls over the internet.

Asterisk is a software implementation of a telephone private branch exchange (PBX); it allows attached telephones to make calls to one another, and to connect to other telephone services, such as the public switched telephone network (PSTN) and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services.
