Consider SIP Protocol for Voice Over IP
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is the transport protocol for person-to-person real time data over the Internet. Its defining specifications come from the SIP working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force. SIP gives access to the public switched telephone network for voice data at 3 kHz bandwidth and common number dialing using Voice over IP (VoIP). It can also be expanded to handle IP telephony in conjunction with video and instant messaging. Future enhancements will allow SIP applications like video conference calls, application sharing, home monitoring, and interactive gaming for businesses in Warren.
Suppliers of SIP equipment are rapidly crafting innovative products and software to take advantage of this new Internet communications technique. SIP telephones, PC client software, SIP servers, routers, and firewalls are now available from companies such as Ingate Systems and Cisco.
SIP trunking delivers numerous perks to the business operator such as cost savings, networking flexibility, and emergency disaster recovery. It can eliminate the high subscription expenses of basic rate interfaces and primary rate interfaces. It also optimizes the bandwidth usage by delivering both voice and data over the same connection. Businesses will have the flexibility to route calls to favored carriers and the redundancy of using several service providers.
