The latest telephone lines on the market are called SIP Trunks or VOIP Lines. These are telephone lines that are delivered and work over a broadband connection.
The most important consideration is the internet connectivity to your building as this will determine how many (if any) SIP trunks can be provided.
Often this will be a dedicated connection from your provider to assure voice quality. As SIP trunks are provided via an internet connection they are exchange independent. This means you can keep your existing numbers, even when moving outside your current exchange area and costly divert options are avoided.
Sip trunks can often be deployed quicker and offer a lower rental than traditional ISDN services with the benefit of enhanced disaster recovery options. Deploying SIP trunking can be a big step towards simplifying your organisation’s telecommunications and preparing for the latest real-time communications enhancements. However, the biggest motivation for most organisations is immediate and substantial cost savings.
Key Benefits of switching to SIP trunks:
- Flexible and scalable communications
SIP trunks can be provided from two to a thousand lines as required. Additional lines can be activated in a matter of hours, rather than weeks as with ISDN, providing connection bandwidth permits. - Eliminate a redundant network
Deploying SIP trunking is a logical step towards the goal of having a single converged IP-based network, rather than separate telephone and data networks. - Eliminate costly line rentals
With SIP trunks you can dispense with costly Analogue or ISDN line rentals and replace them with a service that can cost significantly less. - SIP connectivity
A SIP trunk can be deployed over any internet connection that may or may not share bandwidth with other IP traffic. However, using a connection designed to support and assure the SIP service can typically carry the most simultaneous calls and offers the highest security and reliability.
