The Enterprise Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Service applies communication technology in conjunction with IP data networks rather than traditional public switched telephone networks (PSTN). VoIP technology will enable you to make and receive telephone calls with your desk PC and phone communicating through the same LAN cable to your desk. VoIP is a proven and cost-effective solution as the State of Illinois migrates from leased phone lines to a State-owned enterprise VoIP system offering advanced features.
DoIT telecommunications services are available to all State of Illinois agencies, boards, commissions, universities, Offices of the Illinois House and Senate, and Constitutional Officers connected through the Illinois Century Network (ICN).
