What type of communications does VOIP enable within CANES?

Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) primarily enables voice communication over the internet rather than traditional telephone lines. This technology allows users to make phone calls, participate in voice chats, and engage in real-time audio communication using internet connections. Within the CANES (Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services) context, VOIP facilitates effective and efficient voice communications essential for operational coordination and situational awareness among personnel.

While VOIP systems can be integrated with other communication forms like text messaging, video conferencing, or even data file transfers, its primary function is to transmit voice data. The core advantage of VOIP in the CANES framework is its ability to allow seamless communication, which is vital for coordination in dynamic environments.
