VoIP

VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, is the routing of voice conversations through the internet or another IP-type network. VoIP calls are often free apart from the cost of being connected to the internet.

It works by first converting the microphone analogue sound signal into digital data, this data is then parcelled into internet-compatible data packets. On the receiving end, the digital data is extracted from each incoming packet and put together once again. This data is then fed into a Digital-To-Analogue (DAC) converter. The analogue signal is then fed into the device sound system.
