Sip Trunks
A Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunk is a technology used in telecommunications that allows businesses to make voice and video calls over the internet instead of traditional telephone lines. Here's a basic description of SIP trunks:
SIP Trunks:
- SIP trunks are digital communication channels that enable the transmission of voice, video, and other real-time communication data over the internet.
- They replace the need for traditional analog or digital phone lines and connect a business's phone system (PBX) to the internet or a private IP network.
- SIP trunks use the SIP protocol to initiate, manage, and terminate communication sessions, such as phone calls or video conferences.
- They offer greater flexibility and scalability, allowing businesses to adjust the number of channels as needed without the physical constraints of traditional phone lines.
- SIP trunks are cost-effective because they often provide lower calling rates and eliminate the need for maintaining separate phone lines.
- They can support various communication services, including voice, video, instant messaging, and presence information.
- SIP trunks are a key component of modern Unified Communications (UC) systems, enabling integrated communication across multiple channels.
