| Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the common signaling standard for real-time communications including Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). SIP is an open-standard which allows carrier voice equipment to interoperate seamlessly with customer premise equipment (CPE). The logical voice channel established between them is referred to as a SIP Trunk; a virtual phone line that utilizes a Broadband connection for access. |

Broad-Connect's SIP Trunking service works directly with an IP PBX as well as with legacy customer premise equipment (CPE) which uses an Integrated Access Device (IAD), commonly referred to as a gateway.
Although pricing for SIP Trunking is typically 40 - 70% below what legacy Telcos can offer, the features that enhance functionality and scalability and solve multiple issues related to large-scale enterprise deployments, are the key considerations in the deployment of SIP Trunking. Below are some of the instant benefits of SIP Trunking. |
| |
 |
Instant Cost Savings - Realize immediate cost saving by converging your local, long distance and broadband Internet services onto a single pipe with dynamic bandwidth allocation. |
 |
|
Economical Local and Long Distance - Reduce toll charges from SIP origination/termination services to the PSTN for local and long distance calls. |
|
|
Relieve Hardware Costs - Reduce or eliminate costs associated with purchase, support and maintenance of hardware media gateways. |
|
|
Legacy System Compatibility - Preserve existing capabilities with seamless integration into existing systems. |
|
|
Geographic Abstraction of DIDs - With SIP Trunking, choose DIDs from around the country and have them served to the central PBX, mitigating all the complexity associated with centralized PBXs. |
|
|
Disaster Recovery - Enable faster, more efficient disaster recovery with an IP network's distributed architecture, inherently more fault tolerant than fixed line, circuit-switched counterparts. |
|
|
Flexibility - Allow selection of a single SIP Trunk, increasing the flexibility and ease of adding, subtracting or changing a line. |
|
|
Instant Scalability - Add capacity as needed and control monthly recurring costs |
