When transmitting data via IP-based networks, packet loss frequently occurs. In VoIP telephony this does not affect the phone call, as the human brain compensates for up to five percent of lost information. Faxing over IP (FoIP), meaning the use of fax in IP networks, can suffer from such disruptions.\n<h2>Advantages of cloud fax instead of FoIP<\/h2>\nEspecially when sending large fax volumes via VoIP infrastructures, this may cause the loss of huge amounts of information and the interruption of connections. By using Retarus\u2019 Cloud Fax services companies which choose to migrate their telephony to VoIP or are affected by their telecommunications provider switching over to VoIP can ensure maximum delivery rates for their fax transmissions. These services can be used with any VoIP provider and at any chosen location, either independently or as a component in a unified communications solution without needing to be integrated into an existing telecommunications infrastructure.\n\nTo find out more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retarus.com\/services\/?technology=Fax\">Cloud Fax<\/a> or get in touch with your local <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retarus.com\/contact\/\">Retarus contact person<\/a>.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By using the Retarus Cloud Fax Services companies that migrate their telephony to VoIP or affected by the change to VoIP of the telecommunications providers can further ensure maximum deliverability of their fax broadcasts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":4775,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ret_read_more_text":"","ret_thumb_border":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3041],"tags":[27,51,52,54],"ret_content_type":[3073,3071],"class_list":["post-25142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business-communication","tag-cloud-fax","tag-telephony","tag-unified-communications","tag-voip","ret_content_type-expert-insights","ret_content_type-product-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.2 (Yoast SEO v28.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Fax over IP (FoIP): Why you should use cloud fax instead<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Problems when sending large volumes of fax over IP connections?
