VoIP Phones: VolP phones apparently look just like telephones. Users speak and hear through them just like a phone connected to the internet, hence the name is VoIP system. Dialing the number is same as that of normal phone.

VoIP Adapters: VoIP adapters can connect existing telephone to VoIP system. This means users can use their current phone touse VoIP.

(½ marks each for four advantages and 1 + 1 for two (board changed requirement of four) disadvantages Total – 4 marks)

Advantages of VoIP:

1.     Computer and VoIP can be used simultaneously. VoIP services can be also used while traveling and can be used via Internet connection.

2.     VoIP is becoming preferred communication option for consumers due to lower fees for basic broadband service and the brisk adoption of even faster internet offerings.

3.     VoIP has established itself within the voice & data industries by means of integrating robust, scalable and reliable products within existing networks.

4.     VoIP brings together the best of the converged communications services.

Disadvantages of VoIP:

1.     Due to probability of data hacking, there is arising problem for the confidentiality of communications.

2.     Chances of receiving unwanted voicemails & e-mails cannot be avoided.

3.     Sometimes VoIP data travels in unencrypted form over the internet. Hence confidentiality in data transfer is one of the important issues.

ii)                State any four application of ICT in simulation with examples.

(½ marks each for four applications and ½ marks each for examples Total – 4 marks)

Simulation Computer simulation is the technique of representing the real world by a computer program.

Computer simulation is the special type of computer software. It creates artificial model of a system. It offers hands on activities that feel like the real experience.

Application of Simulation:

1) It is used in research. Example: Testing of explosive material virtually.

2) It is used in design. Example: To design model of a car, machine or any industrial product of factory.

3) It is used in risky training Example: In pilot training.

4) It is used in education. Example: Without using chemicals, neutralization process can be demonstrated.

5) It is used in Entertainment Example: War games, arcade games, 3D games.

iii)              Write steps to draw a line segment of length 3.9 cm and draw perpendicular bisector to the line segment using “Perpendicular Bisector” tool in GeoGebra.

(1 marks each for correct steps Total – 4 marks)  [Answer from BOARD Answer key]
