Telephony via Internet provides cheaper charge-models for telephone services.
For telephony directly via the Internet, only the cost of data transmission is
incurred. Various Gateway providers can provide crossover into the PSTN
(“Public Switched Telephone Network”) for a fee. As well as standardised pro-
tocols such as SIP and H.323, proprietary protocols such as the Skype network,
are used. Voice and service quality via Internet is often indeterminable because
they are dependent on the communication lines of various service providers.

Telephony via Intranet enables joint usage of existing infrastructure for
telephony and for data communication. Integrating the two communication
networks into a single communications network can provide considerable
savings. The Aastra 800 gives users all the features of system telephony
through its use of an IP-based protocol. Furthermore, the standardised SIP pro-
tocol can also be used on the intranet. The control of the data connections
used makes it possible to define exactly the voice and service quality.
