Fax over IP (FoIP) is a technology that allows faxes to be transmitted over the Internet or IP-based networks instead of traditional analog phone lines. It converts fax data into digital packets, which are then transmitted using protocols like T.38 or G.711. FoIP eliminates the need for dedicated phone lines, reducing costs and simplifying infrastructure. It integrates seamlessly with VoIP systems and can be used with analog fax machines connected to VoIP gateways or through software-based fax services. While reliable in most environments, FoIP performance depends on network stability and the quality of the internet connection. Businesses migrating to VoIP often use FoIP to maintain faxing capabilities while benefiting from modern digital communication platforms.
