Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) offers a range of benefits for organizations, including enhanced call quality, greater scalability and mobility, and reduced operational costs. However, it also introduces specific security risks, and among them are telephony denial-of-service (TDoS) attacks.

Today, many businesses employ remote or hybrid work setups, relying on comprehensive communication and collaboration platforms to accomplish tasks and exchange information. Unfortunately, many malicious actors have identified these central hubs of data to be worthy targets for cyber attacks.

Communication lies at the heart of every successful business operation. But as technology continues to evolve, so should the tools we use to communicate. Softphones, a modern alternative to traditional desk phones, are gaining traction for their functionality and versatility.

5G is the next generation of wireless technology, and it is set to revolutionize the way we use the internet mainly because of its vastly improved speed. This improved speed, as well as 5G’s reduced latency, make 5G the ideal technology for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) applications.

VoIP improved dramatically when telecoms shifted from 3G to 4G — and businesses are in for a treat once 5G is rolled out.
Mobile VoIP
VoIP calls rely heavily on sufficient download and upload speeds. For example, when mobile VoIP users on 4G networks are limited to 12 Mbps upload and 2 Mbps download speeds, they experience unstable and poor call connectivity and clarity.

Mobile connectivity is a top priority for personal and business users alike. 5G, or fifth-generation wireless systems, will change not only people’s daily routines but also the way small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) operate. Here are three main ways that 5G will change VoIP for SMBs.
Improved Video Conferencing
The major factor holding web and video conferencing back is how fast current networks can transmit data.

Our craving for data seems to increase every year, fueling the constant advancements in wireless technology. The latest is 5G, an abbreviation for the fifth-generation wireless systems, and it is set to transform VoIP for the better. Here are three ways it will do that.
