PSTNkäyttö

PSTNkäyttö refers to the use of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The PSTN is the traditional circuit-switched telephone network that has been in place for over a century. It utilizes copper wire infrastructure to transmit voice communications between telephones. When a call is made, a dedicated physical circuit is established between the two endpoints for the duration of the call. This ensures a consistent and high-quality audio connection.

Historically, PSTNkäyttö was the primary method for making and receiving phone calls, both for residential and business purposes. It facilitated long-distance communication and played a crucial role in connecting people globally. However, with the advent of digital technologies and the internet, the PSTN is gradually being supplemented and in some cases replaced by newer communication systems.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a major competitor, transmitting voice signals as data packets over the internet. While VoIP offers greater flexibility and often lower costs, PSTNkäyttö remains prevalent in many areas due to its established infrastructure and perceived reliability. Many telecommunication companies are still transitioning their services, and some regions may still rely heavily on PSTNkäyttö for basic telephone services. The ongoing evolution of telecommunications means that the role of PSTNkäyttö is continually being redefined.
