Not all business phone solutions are created equal and, if you’re looking to maximize the power and potential of your phone system, then you need SIP Trunking. This technology offers a full range of benefits and can be configured to fulfill your requirements and complement the strategies of your business. There’s never been a better time to tackle the migration of your communications and add an IP connection to your PBX or full unified communications platform. SIP trunk service gives you cost savings on local and long distance calls and allows you to have local numbers in cities all around the world. You also get emergency 911 services, the ability to combine voice and data traffic on a single network, and bring together offices in multiple locations as one coherent enterprise. Best of all, you get the cutting-edge features of VoIP with all of its associated savings and features.

Some of the service benefits that you receive with SIP Trunking include improved cost efficiency and convergence. You can combine your voice and Internet services on one network and thereby reduce both cost and dependence of traditional TDM services. Network management is simplified as you only have one bill and one point of contact for both services. Voice traffic is prioritized to ensure high quality, while idle network capacity is used for data to reduce the overall number of trunks needed. Of course, voice traffic is also protected by top notch security measures. The use of the Internet for your voice calls also gives you an added level of business continuity and disaster recovery as the web makes it easier to recover and respond to disasters by avoiding one single point of failure.

SIP Trunking features the ability to have simultaneous calls over a potentially large footprint, depending on your provider. There is an extensive selection of standard and advanced features, such as toll-free, directory assistance, caller ID, and DID. This technology brings to your business a superior level of performance and reliability in regards to network operation and communications, with the added redundancy of a provider’s infrastructure. The solution provides all the security, savings, and ease of management that your business needs to take its phone system to the next level. When it comes to advancing your business phone system to take on the challenges tomorrow and provide interoperability, make sure that this technology is at the top of your list as the number one choice.

Do you want your business’ phone system to deliver advanced features with low costs? The answer is probably an unqualified yes, but you may wonder if it’s really possible to have the best of both worlds. Well, I’m here to tell you that it is indeed possible, thanks to SIP Trunking. This amazing technology delivers a powerful VoIP solution that is simple, quick and easy to set up, uses your existing hardware, and, above all, cuts your costs. Regardless of whether your business is a small startup or a large enterprise, this highly scalable solution brings you savings over older TDM solutions, while also keeping your phone system up to date with all the latest developments.

Many people are overpaying for phone services by sticking with TDM and PSTN communications instead of embracing the new way of SIP and VoIP. I know that change can be difficult and sometimes even scary, but perhaps the chance to save as much as 50 percent off your existing phone setup is enough to make you consider taking the leap. One of the reasons SIP Trunking is so popular with businesses is that it allows for the convergence of voice and data traffic on a single circuit. Since both voice and data can run on one circuit, that brings down the total number of circuits needed, thereby saving you money.

As if that wasn’t good enough, the fact the calls go over the Internet with VoIP means that are a number of different ways for you calls to pass through the web. With least cost routing, your calls always go the route which costs less for you. The multiple routes available on the web also have the effect of making your communications more reliable and able to withstand network outages and disasters that would bring down TDM solutions.  Unlike TDM solutions, which have a single point of failure, SIP and VoIP bring a greater degree of resilience to your business communications.

Now, this technology doesn’t just save you money, it also delivers powerful features. It will take many more posts to even begin to cover the range of features available to you with SIP Trunking, but, for now, let me just mention the ability to get both local and intentional DIDs, allowing your business to maintain a local presence in multiple areas regardless of its physical location. Of course, you also get the benefit of better rates while building closer ties to customers. There’s so much more to this technology, but hopefully this is enough to whet your appetite.
