And immediate online monitoring. Previous technology: The booming development, especially for a variety of traditional e-mail images, has become a popular trend for many people, designing modems (1 modems) or 1 ine). In order to increase the network capacity, such as: the network type called Vo IP, etc., to provide users in the long-distance and national telephone line (UTP) connection architecture, in recent years, due to the Internet (Internet ) is the World Wide Web (WWW). In addition to the transmission service, it also provides voice, photo and dynamic multimedia services, so that the public can easily access this information service. Therefore, one part of the Internet has been moved. The Internet industry is also based on this wave of various speed network devices, such as: C ab 1 e number ADSLCAsymmetric Digital Subscriber to improve the network transmission rate, and more network operators to design a variety of The network over-the-air device (Voice Over IP Device) is used to greatly reduce the cost of communication costs.
