Get an Education in VoIP

These days, you can study just about anything in college. If you have an interest, there is probably a degree out there to match it. If there’s not, you can attend a college that lets you design your own degree in order to get an advanced education in the topics which interest you most. But despite the prevalence of unique studies across the nation, many are surprised to learn that it’s possible to get a college education in VoIP technology. And many businesses may find that they can benefit from sending their students to advanced classes like these.

Believe it or not, there is a VoIP Lab that is part of the Illinois Institute of Technology Center for Professional Development. The lab was created in 2004 as part of a class’s semester project and has been used ever since by students who are interested in the development of VoIP technology. Designed to support multiple projects simultaneously, the VoIP lab is a true demonstration of how efficient VoIP technology can be in connecting people working together on various projects.

Some of the things that students can learn by using the VoIP lab include:

• The working applications of VoIP in various situations.
• How to tweak VoIP applications to suit the changing needs of any given project.
• VoIP routing technology.
• Remote collaboration in the real world using VoIP technology.
• Assessment of the quality of service provided by VoIP technology.
• Overview of VoIP security problems and solutions that help remedy those problems.

As students study these things, they also develop new ways of using VoIP so that it can be more efficient. This helps to improve the technology in ways that are applicable to a variety of different users.

Many small businesses encourage their employees to continue studying their industry even though they have already graduated from a degree program. Technology is changing so rapidly that it requires regular education to stay on top no matter what type of industry a business is in. For this reason, some businesses even assist employees in paying for additional and ongoing technology education. Those businesses may consider looking into opportunities at the VoIP lab in order to have employees who are educated in updated information about this technology.
