Modern Voice, Lower Rates

WebRTC vs.
Traditional VoIP

More teams are leaving legacy SIP softphones behind for WebRTC, and Intercalling runs on it. You get lower latency, encryption that is always on, and HD audio straight from the browser, all on cheap per minute pay as you go pricing.

How WebRTC Keeps Calls Private

Traditional VoIP, built on SIP, goes back to the 90s, when encryption was never treated as a baseline requirement. That gap leaves it open to packet sniffing and eavesdropping.

WebRTC was designed for today's web. It relies on DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security) to exchange keys and SRTP (Secure Real-time Transport Protocol) to carry media. Strip the encryption away and a WebRTC connection will not even start.

  • Security without a VPN
  • End-to-End Encryption support
  • Runs sandboxed inside the browser

Where the Opus Codec Wins

G.711 (Legacy)

The codec behind traditional phone lines. Its bitrate is fixed, so the moment your connection dips, audio drops out or turns robotic.

Opus (WebRTC)

Its bitrate flexes to match your network in real-time, holding clear audio even over 3G/4G connections.
