Integrating VoIP Systems with The Internet of Things

Abstract

With the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), Voice over IP (VoIP) systems can be integrated into the IoT gateway to communicate with things over a telephone network. Integrating VoIP systems with the IoT will become very useful in many scenarios such as auto-dialing a phone number for an emergency event, controlling IoT devices via analog phone and monitoring smart objects via VoIP phone. This paper introduce a novel, low cost solution to communicate with IoT devices over telephone and mobile networks as well as the Internet. We present the design and implementation of this solution to show the benefits of VoIP systems for the IoT. Evaluation results have shown the applicability of proposed system for telephony, home automation and security.
