SIP Trunks – Benefits and Best Practices

Today the new model of “trunking” to IP-enabled enterprises can result in lower telephony costs and a rapid Return On Investment (ROI) plus the opportunity for enhanced communications within the enterprise as well as with vendors, customers and partners. The possibility for a rapid return on investment is a key driver of SIP trunk deployments. SIP trunking delivers the following benefits: Eliminates costly BRIs (Basic Rate Interfaces) and PRIs (Primary Rate Interfaces) services Removes the need to invest in additional PSTN gateway capacity as you grow Reduces capital expenditures: edge devices offer a lower investment path in adding new lines as they are typically cheaper per line than the corresponding PSTN gateway Optimizes bandwidth utilization by delivering both data and voice via the same connection Maximizes flexibility in dimensioning and usage of lines as you avoid having to buy capacity in chunks of 23 (T1) or 30 (E1) lines Provides flexible termination of calls to preferred providers; calls to anywhere worldwide can be made for the cost of a local call Enables redundancy with multiple service providers and links Request Free!
