SIP trunking isn’t the new tech on the block anymore, but its expansion has reached a tipping point, with growing confidence in its capabilities and the ever expanding list of benefits making a compelling business case.

High speed internet is an essential component for ensuring a stable SIP connected network. Significant improvements in broadband speeds, in particular upstream speeds, have been a real catalyst in kick starting the SIP market.

The announcement from BT is one of the many reasons why as a consumer of ISDN services there has never been a better time to move to SIP.

So why should you make the move?

1. Flexibility:

  • You can scale up and down whenever you want, whether seasonal or short-term
  • The number of SIP channels can be increased straight away, with no lengthy installation periods
  • If you move location, you can take your numbers with you anywhere in the world with no need for expensive call forwarding

2. Improved business continuity:

  • SIP offers built-in business continuity, with proactively monitored services that protect your business
  • You can route your calls to any number at any site
  • Fraud management options, such as daily and weekly thresholds that if exceeded will place a bar on the service, equally you can have alerts when it hits a certain percentage. You can also block calls to certain international locations along with certain types of premium or higher rate calls.

3. Cost effective:

  • You can save money on call costs and line rental – with SIP, as a cloud based service, the physical overheads are removed
  • Benefit from lower call rates across your entire estate
  • Rationalise your estate with a centralised SIP solution, which allows you to reduce your overall line requirement
  • Free internal calls
