What is MOS? MOS is the Mean Opinion Score. This is actually a subjective scale with the help of which telephone network end user quality is measured. It’s easy - users just rate the quality and the overall score is ready. Traditional networks as a rule come up with 3.5-4.2 on the five-point scale. VoIP providers are now significantly behind.
Huge VoIP and LAN equipment vendors claim they can provide their customers with the end-to-end solutions and they don’t need any third parties to make VoIP phone calls, transmit data etc. Industry insiders think this is a total myth.
The main concern and the most distracting hurdle for those who consider VoIP technologies as a good alternative to ordinary telephone communication, is the quality. Experts are 100% sure: as soon as VoIP service providers overcome these hurdles, VoIP will totally eliminate ordinary services.
With so many VoIP companies and services over the Internet, which is the best to choose? How do certain VoIP providers attract more customers in the situation, where all advertising and marketing vehicles are almost the same from one company to another?
Rapid development of the VoIP industry quickly lead to the increased rivalry in the segment. VoIP providers can no longer survive offering low-quality and limited services. Customers demand more for less.
When VoIP was just introduced, many providers were offering free VoIP services. Regrettably, this is now buried in the past and most of such services are now charging some money. However, there are still some great benefits of VoIP you get for free.
Every business moves forward cutting its running costs. It is often the only way to be competitive on the market as rising the prices to reach the profitable margin may result in losing the considerable market share. Have you ever considered starting cutting your running costs from your communication expenses?
VoIP enables you to make cheap long distance and local phone calls using your Internet connection. As the technology requires a high-speed Internet connection only, traditional phone companies powers are not used and that saves a considerable amount of money.
There is an alternative for high phone prices on long distance call or local calls - and this alternative is the VoIP. IP phones enable people to make PC to PC calls. What this means is that you are now enabled to talk to someone like you usually do - using a telephone - but the signal will be exchanged by your computers directly. You shouldn’t pay the operator. You just use the Internet (which you usually have already paid for) and that’s all.
