Webinar - Archived Webinar Explores Promise of SIP Trunking
By Susan J. Campbell, TMCnet Contributing Editor
SIP trunking offers significant benefits for a number of firms, but there are also roadblocks that exist that keep a number of companies from taking the leap toward deployment. Proper planning can help the organization to overcome these challenges, as long as the company has the proper tools.
To explore this planning and the associated roadblocks, TMCnet partnered with Ingate for a free webinar: Successfully Deploying Enterprise SIP Trunking: Tools and Techniques for Overcoming Common Roadblocks, which took place on Tuesday, May 10, 2011 TIME: 11:00am ET/ 8:00am PT.
When organizations have the right tools and planning in place to launch an SIP trunking deployment, they gain the access to a platform that can lower operating costs and produce a compelling return on investment. Once SIP trunking is in place, the network architecture can easily be used to leverage new Unified Communications (News - Alert) applications to further drive productivity improvements.
There are specific elements that must be considered when moving to SIP trunking, including the interoperability between the IP-PBX (News - Alert) and the service provider network, firewall and NAT traversal. The organization must also consider security and the overall management of the quality of service.
It does help to place an enterprise session border controller (E-SBC) at the edge of the enterprise network as it can be the critical element to address these problems. This webinar provides the necessary insight into the tools and techniques needed to turn obstacles into opportunities. The archived event also explores the methods proven to simplify the transition from traditional voice to SIP trunks and more.
Check out this archived webinar and you will learn about SIP trunks and how the convergence of data and voice onto the same network delivers a competitive advantage. You’ll also learn typical scenarios that occur for both small businesses and enterprises, and migration strategies for making the move to SIP trunking.
This event was designed specifically to benefit systems integrators, resellers and distributors; enterprise management staff overseeing communication services; enterprise technical staff responsible for VoIP networks; service provider network operators, product management and services marketing staff; telecommunications equipment manufacturers; and marketing and operations managers for hosted service providers.
