American Broadband Services, a national provider of private broadband networks for businesses, has announced the certification of its VoIPZoneTM IP
Trunking product with the new SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) Trunking capability from Toshiba (News - Alert) America Information Systems Inc.
According to American Broadband Services, Toshiba’s new IP technology enables it to offer the benefits of SIP
Trunking by integrating natively with the latest versions of the Strata CIX family. Officials are claiming that American Broadband Services is among the first to certify successful integration with Toshiba’s new capability and the first to offer nationwide implementation.
VoIPZoneTM IP Trunking enables users to have access to the telephone network through many different IP network services, including T-1, xDSL, and MPLS
networks, which allows voice and data services to be carried simultaneously over the network.
The separate circuits and connectivity necessary for voice and data are no longer required, and the companies need not have to wait for weeks or months for PRI delivery. IP Trunking can, in many cases, be delivered in as little as 72 hours with existing approved customer connectivity, according to officials.
“We are pleased to be working with Toshiba to deliver a SIP Trunking
solution that provides a smooth implementation for our mutual customers,” Brian Watters, director at American Broadband Services, said in a press statement.
He also said that together Toshiba and American Broadband Services provide a SIP Trunking solution that puts the SIP Trunk support natively into the telecommunications system, which according to him gives customers the benefits of his company’s nationwide SIP Trunking with the reliability of the Toshiba Strata CIX VoIP
systems.
“Toshiba is committed to delivering fully-featured VoIP solutions for our vast customer base, and we are pleased to be working with leading SIP carrier American Broadband Services,” said Ericson Abing, product manager of America Information Systems for Telecommunication Systems Division at Toshiba.
