概要

One of the hottest trends in the IP market is Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunking, which enables businesses to connect a SIP trunk to a traditional public-switched telephone network (PSTN) phone system, allowing communication over IP outside the enterprise. SIP trunking calling features include local and long-distance calling, E911, and caller ID, all of which integrate into the existing phone system.

Cost savings, which can be realized through cheaper equipment and higher return on investment (ROI), is one of the most significant drivers in the SIP trunking market. Despite the draw of dollars, however, many enterprises are reluctant to turn private corporate information over to IP networks because of security issues related to SIP, despite measures to ensure those networks.

Service providers must take the initiative to educate potential users in SIP trunking as soon as possible. Vendors must continue to work on issues such as interoperability and becoming SIPConnect-compliant, as well as security issues.

Without question, cost savings, ROI, and productivity benefits are the biggest attractions to SIP trunking. By extending SIP capabilities of the corporate network outside the LAN, satellite offices, remote workers, and customers can use VOIP and other real-time communications applications to break down barriers of geography to share ideas and increase productivity.
