Compatible Yealink Phones with Yeastar VoIP PBX Systems
July 19, 2016
The telephone transformed how we connect and communicate, and now, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phones are redefining those connections. By utilizing the internet for communication rather than traditional landlines, VoIP phone systems are rapidly becoming the preferred choice for businesses seeking efficiency, flexibility, and cost savings.
If you’re considering making the switch, understanding how VoIP phones work and their key benefits can help you make the right decision. This guide breaks it all down for you.
A VoIP phone system is a modern alternative to traditional analog landlines. The key difference lies in how calls are transmitted. Traditional phones use dedicated copper wiring, while VoIP phone services use your internet connection to deliver calls.
This shift results in improved sound quality, greater connectivity, and reduced equipment requirements. By replacing complicated phone line setups, VoIP phones offer a streamlined and cost-efficient communication solution.
Key Benefits of VoIP Technology Include:
Businesses of all sizes are adopting VoIP phone services for their scalability and seamless integration into existing workflows.
VoIP phones come in two main types:
A hard phone is a physical device, similar in design to traditional telephones, but with internet capabilities. These phones connect via Ethernet or WiFi and offer standard telephone features alongside VoIP-specific options such as Bluetooth connectivity.
Softphones are software-based phone solutions. Installed on devices like computers, tablets, or smartphones, softphones allow users to make calls over the internet without needing hardware devices. They’re excellent for businesses with remote teams and provide features like call routing and management.
Example: Yeastar’s Linkus Softphone enables seamless communication across devices while supporting advanced call management capabilities.
At their core, VoIP phones function similarly to traditional telephones by enabling two-way voice communication. The key distinction is how the voice signals are transmitted. VoIP phone systems convert analog voice signals into digital data packets, which are sent over the internet. These packets are then decoded back into voice signals at the recipient’s end.
Here’s how it works:
This process ensures higher call quality and eliminates the need to maintain complex wiring systems, as required by traditional landlines.
Key Advantages:
Establishing a VoIP phone system is straightforward and requires a few essential components:
For businesses, VoIP phone services work best with unified communication (UC) platforms like Yeastar’s cloud-based PBX system. Platforms like these centralize all phone calls and ensure secure, consistent communication, even for remote teams.
Worried about scalability? VoIP services make it easy to add or remove devices as your business evolves.
