VOIP

Well this thread has been long due....

Ok well i had this idea in my mind and i thought that if implemented it can be a big success.

Now here's my thinking. We use internet to place voice calls and can talk anywhere in the world for free.

Suppose i can devise a device which can convert the digital signal from the modem and using an antenna i can use it to transfer to a receiver nearby. However, the problem with this plan is there would be too much noise or interference and won't be feasible economically. However, if the same thing a service provider does.... then he saves a lot of money in transmission from different parts of the world bcoz internet can be used as the transmission medium.

With the help of local transmission towers, zones can be divided and transmission can be used in that particular area only. The basic idea would be to use internet lines as much as possible.

I'm sure there can be many flaws in this plan but help me to modify and innovate this plan.

well....this idea can only be thought by an ENGG........well i didnt understood the concept........and y do we need VOIP.....means we hav mobile phones.....i didnt get the idea
 
HI folks, very nice idea. I have an engineering background so i understood it. It is really innovative and new idea. For implementing it we will require to change the circuit of modem or we could add additional device to it. I think idea will become more simpler if we think it over like this. We should have website to manage such calls. People who wants to communicate he will start to talk with the transmitter. This signal will be received by additional circuit and further to the modem. Modem will transmite it to the website link and it will again transmitted to the receiver end modem. Which will further converted to the signal by additional cicuit attach to the modem. And finally will be received by the receiver. More... more could be done in this area...
 
gr8 idea but I already heard about it somewhere else :) ...

Its already been researched on

Yes kartik, the research is going on on this idea. The ambuigity is on the cost factor bcoz unless they are able to reduce the cost of the modem add-on, the idea can't be implemented.

However, i just thought of this idea while using skype.

The idea is cost. The majority of cost in calling is due to the transmission. Eg. when u call US from ur cell, it costs u some Rs. 20-22 (inc the tax) but when u use VOIP, its free.... (PC to PC anywhere in the world)

Now think that ur voice signals are transmitted. What is needed is to create a network, so that these voice signals can be transmitted to ur cell. Now, either u can go for individual transmission, i.e. connect a transmitter-receiver set to ur modem or go for a network provider, who can give u subsidized call rates bcoz now all he needs to pay for is his internet bill and the local transmission bill which would be in short area zones. This way, it become more cost effective.

very true... but i have a ques - how is it diff from "skype" .... don't they also use internet to make voice calls

The idea would be similiar to skype... except that we would be using a hardware in it. Skype has tied up with the operators and hence there are individual margins at each corner... when u develop ur own equipment and transmission, the cost would come down.

There can be several limitations in it... so keep coming up with ideas so that we can think more and troubleshoot it.
 
In skype or software like that which are in use, uses IP address for communicating. They provide a seperate IP for this because of fact that voice require more bandwidth and higher transmission and receiving speed. General internet connection which are not broadband also have problem of varing bandwidth so some time voice come and some time doesn't so poor communication.

Also if we have to do voice chat then we should take consideration of slow speed internet which is used by most of people and it is yet another problem.

so for solving this problem we require a high speed internet connection which increases cost factor.
 
thanks for ur input, although i dint get one point here. What do u mean by a seperate IP. AFAIK, any no. of users can use skype from a single IP address. Besides, when u would have to use it on a large scale, ur normal BB connection wont work. You would have to go for a T1 type connection capable of transmitting MB/s

What we can save is that the cost / individual user shall ceom very less and the real cost shall be transmitting from the modem to the hand set.

This seperate IP is given the name VOIP(Voice over internet protocol). It's pupose is only to communicate voice signals. Not for other internet uses.

Also there is no need of T1 connection, BB connection is sufficient because in BB connection every individual has fixed bandwidth alloted to them which is not shared by others it is not in the case of general narrow band internet connection.
So if every people have BB connection then skype or other software will work quite well more better than the mobile communication.

i was talking about T1 connections provided the mobile operator is using the technology. Hence he would have to use a higher bandwidth connection internet to serve a calculated number of users. But if u use a normal system, a BB connection is enough.
