17.1.2 What You Need to Know About VoIP
VoIP
VoIP stands for Voice over IP. IP is the Internet Protocol, which is the message-carrying standard
the Internet runs on. So, Voice over IP is the sending of voice signals (speech) over the Internet (or
another network that uses the Internet Protocol).
SIP
SIP stands for Session Initiation Protocol. SIP is a signalling standard that lets one network device
(like a computer or the LTE3311) send messages to another. In VoIP, these messages are about
phone calls over the network. For example, when you dial a number on your LTE3311, it sends a
SIP message over the network asking the other device (the number you dialed) to take part in the
call.
