VoIP converts voice signals into digital data packets, which are then transmitted over the internet or local networks. This process involves several key steps:
- Analog-to-Digital Conversion: Your voice is captured through a microphone and converted into digital data.
- Packetization: The digital data is broken into smaller packets for transmission.
- Transmission: These packets are sent over IP networks to the recipient’s device.
- Reassembly: At the receiving end, the packets are reassembled into a coherent stream.
- Digital-to-Analog Conversion: Finally, the digital data is converted back into an audio signal, allowing the recipient to hear the transmitted message.
