Is VoIP softswitch?

A softswitch is an improvement on the basis of a telephone switch software to the land line telephone circuits interconnect used.

In a voice over IP (VoIP) the softswitches such as a computer are centralized simply together using a machine of treatment.

Concept

The concept of a VoIP softswitch is associated with the idea of completely separate infrastructure backbone of switching units.

Because through a combination of VoIP networks formed (phone) circuit-switched and packet-switched networks (computer), a softswitch acts as a hub for interconnection or the intersection between the two networks across multiple requests for a network of other simultaneous data transmission.

Functions

The main function of a VoIP softswitch is provide an effective mechanism and robust for a network interconnection public communication network (s) on the network computer and vice versa.

When connecting to a computer network package, a VoIP softswitch facilitates applications such as video/voice, interactive chat conferences, surfing the Internet and parts of telephone and computer networks as media files.

Benefits

The main advantage of a VoIP softswitch is the cost that is lower than that of a normal computer network manageable switch.

In addition a VoIP softswitch is modular in nature, therefore its functionality can be changed, improved and updated by simply adding required programs associated with computer systems.
