Abstract - The ability to communicate voice over an existing TCP/IP network is referred to as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). As a result, the traditional PSTN's limits and downsides are no longer relevant.The experimental quantitative technique approach was utilised in these peer-reviewed works. By using both hardware and software simulations. The IP PBX software is based on Asterisk.

Asterisk is a Digium-sponsored open source communication platform product written in the C programming language and installed on a Linux-based operating system that converts a regular PC into a phone. It employs a variety of communication protocols, including SIP, SCCP, H.323, and MGCP. The audio CODECS also include compression capabilities, which helps to reduce network bandwidth. G.711, G.722, G.723, G729, and others are the most popular. This asterisk handles both hard phone and softphone customers' call routing requests.

Softphones can be installed and used on both sorts of operating systems, as well as Android Smart Phones and devices. These various remedies are presented to address various types of issues. In general, open source VoIP reduces a variety of costs for businesses and organisations, including call fees, installation costs, human resource costs, and investment costs, while also providing flexibility, scalability, reliability, and manageability. In addition, by combining Asterisk-based VoIP with Wi-Fi connection in order to have moveable communication rather than communication solely at an office desk, call on pocket maximises the productivity of businesses or enterprises. The final point of concern is VoIP security issues. Because this protocol is new and runs over IP, it inherits all of the IP's strengths and weaknesses, making it vulnerable to VoIP attacks by unauthorised individuals. VoIP utilising Open VPN is proposed to interconnect different branches from different sites of the corporation to overcome these types of challenges.

This aids secure VOIP communications between the branches over the secure tunnel to some extent. However, there are certain gaps that have yet to be discovered. These include the price of cable, wireless, installation, and maintenance. The second reason is that when the number of participants in both the LAN and the WAN grows, a communication bottleneck develops. As a result, we shall be subjected to laws governing voice communication and interruption. The last reason is that owing to Wi-Fi radio frequency interference with various equipment, such as aircraft, hospitals, and nuclear and chemical plants, we will not be able to use VoIP conversations because of the harm and risks that this interference causes. Despite the fact that these gaps have been discovered and reported, all of the researchers' tremendous work and contributions are valued.
