Multi-carrier terminations… A Carrier Softswitch Enterprise Softswitch PSTN • Call-by-call termination leverages cost benefits of multiple carriers & improves performance • Multiple IP termination points across enterprise provide inherent redundant paths • Multiple carriers inherently provide greater reach Carrier Media Gateway B PSTN Carrier Media Gateway Carrier IP Infrastructure C Enterprise Edge PSTN IP Telephone Carrier Media Gateway TDM IP

Comparing Service Types Type Description Pro Con • Providing managed telephone service to a business over an IP connection. • This may be wither a “fully managed” or “un-managed” IP connection. • Full service • No expert staff needed • Low initial investment • Little to no “control” • Restricted Capabilities VoIP Centrex • Providing voice and data services to a business over a “converged” network connection. • Narrowband Voice Services are broken out separately at the customer premise using a “media gateway”. • Economics of V+D convergence • Narrowband service – limited services • Personnel costs • CapEx VoIP Gateway Trunking • Providing broadband voice and data services to a business over a “converged” network connection. • Voice services are broadband or “all IP” to the telephony device. • Economics convergence • Enhanced Services • Lowers CapEx • Personnel costs (compared to VoIP centrex) SIP “Soft” Trunking
Understanding the SIP Trunk Services • Managed vs. Un-managed (Device Management) • On-net vs. Off-net (TDM points/IAD, Carrier hop-off) • Quality of Service Capabilities (V quality methods) • Service Level Guarantees (Contractual Warrants)
THERE’S MORE… …that makes SIP Trunking important.
