Uses of VoIP

During Hurricane Sandy and in its aftermath, many areas were without traditional phone line service. A San Jose Company, 8x8 Inc., was able to bring service back using redundant data centers on both coasts that provided VoIP Virtual Office cloud communications. The Department of Defense even recognizes the security the VoIP Mobile Communications Infrastructure offers. Apriva, an Arizona-based VoIP provider, recently announced a DOD contract they were awarded to enhance their mobility gateway enabling “the Department of Defense to deliver classified voice and data communications to commercially available smartphones.” This system can be quickly deployed, using off-the-shelf devices like Android phones, combined with the latest encryption software to provide gateway communications between national leaders and war fighters, and just like in the private sector, a VoIP solution also saves the military money.
