WHAT IS SIP TRUNKING? ...

SIP trunking is a form of telephony that connects your business to the Public Telephone Network (PSTN) using a data circuit and Voice over IP (VoIP), rather than traditional BT analogue or ISDN lines.

If deployed correctly it is therefore a direct replacement for ISDN but with many additional benefits, or alternatively can be used as a useful backup technology to an existing ISDN service.

More and more businesses are moving away from running their voice calls over traditional ISDN telephone lines and making the transition to SIP trunking, taking advantage of the increased flexibility, resilience and cost savings on offer.

This trend will continue as ISDN becomes a legacy product, with SIP trunking now at the forefront of voice solutions.

HOW DOES IT WORK? ...

SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is the industry standard method for controlling Voice over IP (VoIP) calls and is used by a wide range of operators to provide business SIP trunking and Hosted Telephony services.

SIP is the protocol used to control the call itself, including initiating and terminating the call.  The actual call media is then transmitted using Real Time Protocol (RTP).

SIP trunking therefore allows business grade phone calls to be made over ‘voice ready’ data circuits.

 

    WHO WOULD USE IT AND WHY? ...

    Business SIP Trunking is now the standard for any business needing voice calls. With one-off and monthly rental costs being up to 70% lower than ISDN, businesses can stop spending high amounts on telephone lines.  Call charges are also currently increasing on ISDN but decreasing with SIP meaning even more money can be saved.

    Most businesses cannot afford any downtime.  With Spitfire SIP there are multiple failover and resiliency options which can be deployed depending on individual customer requirements, providing unrivalled business continuity.

    So whether you are moving office, looking to reduce costs, increase redundancy and business continuity or consolidate lines at multiple locations SIP trunking is the solution of choice.
