SIP Trunking
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Trunking Service for Most Rate Centers in North America
» What is SIP?
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an Internet Engineering Task Force standard protocol for initiating an interactive user session that could involve multiple elements such as video, voice, and data.
SIP presents an enormous opportunity to redefine how networks communicate. SIP has proved to be such an outstanding and flexible protocol that vendors and service providers are spending significant resources to best leverage this market opportunity. Some of the primary drivers for SIP include:
» Interoperability of IP devices
» Easy deployment of multimedia applications through seamless voice, video, and data integration
» Strong presence and instant messaging capabilities
» Tight device/application integration through SIP support in Windows XP and AOL Instant Messenger
» 3G Mobile device support
Businesses wanting to implement VoIP not only on their internal network, but also to the outside world, need to buy SIP trunks provided by an Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP) for that connection to the traditional Public Telephone Network (PSTN). Unlike traditional telephony, where bundles of physical wires were once delivered from the service provider to a business, a SIP trunk allows a company to replace these traditional fixed PSTN lines with PSTN connectivity via a SIP trunking service provider on the Internet. BluegrassNet Voice is one of those SIP trunking service providers.
» SIP Trunking for IP PBX Systems
For small to medium sized businesses (SMBs) that are looking for a new phone system, an IP PBX is the only way to go. For a successful IP PBX system, a SIP Trunking provider with a proven track record of premium quality service is essential. If phone call quality suffers, the benefits of SIP Trunking and the cost savings will not matter. That is why BluegrassNet Voice is the provider of choice for SMBs.
» SIP Trunking for Traditional PBX Systems
For those SMBs that still have traditional TDM-based phone systems or Analog-based phone systems, BluegrassNet Voice can provide SIP trunks via an Integrated Access Device (IAD) that provides immediate cost-savings (as much as 50%) on monthly costs while providing the foundation to move toward an all VoIP SIP-based system in the future.
