Voice over IP (VoIP) telephony



Voice over IP (VoIP) telephony began emerging in the mid 1990s. In commercial environments VoIP was first used behind corporate PBXes in order to deploy telephones capable of delivering additional computing services. In the consumer environment VoIP was introduced to allow people to bypass telco long-distance charges, either allowing callers to communicate directly, or allowing them to connect to local telco bridges. Finally, telcos themselves very quickly deployed IP-based backbones in order to more efficiently carry their long-distance traffic.

The rapid growth of VoIP-based telephony has led to the introduction of a plethora of VoIP recording solutions. All VoIP services allow or will soon allow calls to be recorded.
