Businesses are rapidly to VoIP because there are compelling advantages. Firstly, and most obviously, there are significant financial savings on running the network itself. One infrastructure carrying both data and voice, provided by one supplier, can be managed, maintained and upgraded much more efficiently than two separate networks for voice and data.

Secondly, and more importantly, while each network has its own value, that value is maximized when the two systems are consolidated. Computer applications and communications technologies can be intelligently linked to streamline the working environment.

Thirdly, VoIP allows organisations to integrate their telephone, fax, e-mail and other applications to capitalise on the benefits of unified messaging. Such a system can eradicate unnecessary interruptions while ensuring individuals always receive information in the most convenient format wherever they are in the world.



Crown Equity Holdings Incorporated - symbol CRWE - reported that it has entered into a 50/50 joint venture agreement to deploy VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology delivering voice, video and data services to residential and commercial customers.

Majestic Gold Corp. engages in the exploration and development of mineral properties in China. The company focuses on its gold project located in the prolific gold region of Song Jiagou in eastern Shandong Province. Majestic Gold Corp. is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada.
