  1. The Business Value of SIP Trunking

  2. SIP Trunking … How SIP Trunking Works • creates a connection from a company’s phone system to the Internet, replacing the conventional public switched telephone network (PSTN). • is delivered by a service provider as an overlay service to existing broadband access (DSL, cable, T1/E1, Ethernet, etc.) or bundled with its IP network. • works with a SIP-ready PBX or with traditional analog systems by adding an integrated access device (IAD).

  3. SIP Trunking Reduces Costs by … • Eliminating dedicated circuits.SIP trunking eliminates the need for traditional analog and digital trunk facilities and allows communications to be routed over existing data connections. SIP Trunking Eliminates Dedicated Lines • Consolidating PBX needs.SIP enables communications across the Internet as easy as the corporate LAN, so a multilocation business can use one centrally located IP PBX instead of installing separate ones at each site.

  4. SIP Trunking Optimizes Assets by … • Aligning with usage needs. SIP trunking allows companies to right-size their communications, buying only what they need. Plus, businesses can purchase call paths in small increments and increase as their usage grows. • Supporting Burstability. Some providers also offer "burstable" SIP trunking, which allows a business to temporarily use more concurrent call paths than provisioned to accommodate bursts of traffic due to seasonal calling changes or temporary marketing campaigns, as two examples. SIP Trunking vs. PRI Trunking PRIs include 23 channels for calls and 1 for signaling. If a customer requires only 12 concurrent calls, the remaining channels go unused. A SIP trunk can carry unlimited calls (aka call paths). If a customer needs only 12, they buy 12 concurrent call paths.

  5. SIP Trunking Creates Efficiencies by… • *Converges voice and data networks. SIP trunking also enables companies to converge local, long-distance, toll-free, and voice and data traffic for greater efficiencies. • *Dynamically allocates bandwidth. Similarly, it also allows for dynamic allocation of bandwidth for voice and data services, giving priority to the real-time traffic, but not requiring paths to be reserved for a specific traffic type. • Converging voice and data networks. SIP trunking enables local, long-distance, toll-free, and voice and data traffic over the same connection. • Dynamically allocating bandwidth. It also allows for bandwidth to be used for voice and data services without reserving paths for a specific traffic type. SIP Trunking Dynamically Allocates Voice & Data SIP trunking enables both voice and data traffic over the same connection, allocating bandwidth as demand fluctuates during the day.

  6. SIP Trunking Streamlines Management by… • Centralizing communications management. The virtual nature of SIP trunking provides for centralization of communications tying remote locations to a centralized IP PBX. SIP Centralizes PBX Management • Reducing the need for multiple providers. SIP trunking also decreases the need for regional service providers often required by nationwide multilocation companies.

  7. SIP Trunking Supports Marketing by … • Retaining local numbers. SIP trunking enables businesses to retain the telephone numbers for offices closing due to M&A or downsizing and have them ring into headquarters. This allows the customer to maintain a local presence but to consolidate facilities, staff and gain economies of scale. • Virtual Presence. Similarly, a company can create new “virtual” presences with telephone numbers from cities within the U.S. and internationally. SIP Trunking Enables Virtual Presence

  8. SIP Trunking Adds Value by … • Supporting Business Continuity. SIP can be programmed to auto forward to mobile phones or alternative DIDs, ensuring that customer calls are not dropped or unanswered. SIP Trunking Enables Unified Communications • Enabling Unified Communications. SIP is the standard protocol for VoIP, but it was designed for all types of real-time communications: • presence • instant messaging • application sharing • white-boarding • video conferencing
