VOIP Equipment - Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA)

VOIP, or Voice Over Internet Protocol, telecommunication is becoming more and more popular due to its attractive features, low cost, and high sound quality. Replacing your traditional telephone service with VOIP service is actually quite simple. All one needs is a broadband Internet connection and the proper equipment.

The equipment necessary to provide one with VOIP service varies, depending on how one would like to go about acquiring the service. There are several options available to consumers, and many people find that an Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) is a good solution.

With an ATA, you can still use your existing house phone for VOIP calls using the adapter. The ATA is a small, inexpensive device which accepts the traditional phone line and converts it to a proper signal which can be used by the VOIP service. Using the ATA is an alternative to purchasing a new VOIP-ready phone.
