Voice over IP (VoIP)
VoIP is a technology in which telephone calls are made over the Internet. This allows you to save on
communication costs, especially for long-distance calls.
The expensive solution
To be able to make your phone calls over the Internet you could either:
 Buy an IP phone.
These IP phones are special phones that you can connect to your Internet Gateway.
 Install VoIP software on your computer and make your phone calls via your computer.
The THOMSON solution
With the Thomson Gateway you can make both VoIP and traditional telephone calls using a traditional
analogue phone or A DECT phone.
If your Thomson Gateway is not powered, the traditional telephone network (if connected) will automatically
selected. This way you are still able to make emergency calls.
