SIP Trunking

What is SIP Trunking?

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a multi-media signalling standard and allows companies to communicate over IP connections. The channel established between them is termed a SIP Trunk. SIP Trunks enable businesses to create a single, IP connection between themselves and their telephone service provider, giving them the ability to make and receive telephone calls and other IP services. In other words, SIP Trunks enable businesses to make and receive calls over an Internet service.

SIP Trunking is an ideal solution for businesses that:

Are moving to a new site;
Wish to retain their existing geographic numbers at a new location;
Have multiple offices, whether in the UK or abroad;
Have variable numbers of employees to meet peaks and troughs in demand;
Want to improve their disaster recovery capability;
Have deployed an MPLS QoS Network.

SIP Benefits

Providing full PSTN connectivity, SIP Trunking offers simple yet effective benefits to your business:

Free calls between sites;
Lower cost than ISDN, plus DDI ranges and CLI presentation are included in the price;
Lower UK and international call costs;
Porting allows you to take your existing numbers with you wherever your new location;
Scalable on a per channel basis, with no penalties for scaling up or down as required;
Emergency services support;
Compliments a converged network with lower costs and simplified architecture;
Enables IP PBX’s to talk to one another and brings number plans together in a similar way to a Voice VPN;
