Communication plays an integral role in business success and will always be a foundation in the workplace. If you’re like many business owners, understanding the world of new tech can seem daunting. Your business phone service is one of the best places to start if you want to make upgrades, and SIP trunking is worth consideration. Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about this innovative service.

Your Guide to SIP Trunking

What Is It?

SIP (session initiation protocol) is an infrastructure that lets you use your business phone services via the Internet instead of traditional landlines. “Trunking” relates to how the phone line is collectively supported by the network users in your office. This protocol supports both audio and visual connections between two phones and can be run through a local or hosted PBX (private branch exchange) telephone network.

SIP vs. VOIP

At first, SIP business phone services can seem interchangeable with VoIP. VoIP is actually an umbrella term that houses a number of internet- and cloud-based phone systems, with SIP being one of them. If you have an existing phone system attached to a PBX, SIP technology will connect your office phone system with it to support a VoIP system.

Benefits

business phone servicesSIP is one of the preferred business phone services because it’s cost-effective. Rather than scaling a traditional landline network and investing in all the hardware, you can simply connect new digital lines with SIP and pay on a per-user rather than a per-call basis. All you need is a solid internet connection.

You can also re-route SIP calls and send them to your smartphone, office phone, or assistant’s phone as needed. You’ll never have to worry about inclement weather and local phone system outages impacting your business phone services and will have personalized support from a telecom solutions provider rather than a less-attentive national landline phone service.
