SIP trunking is a technology that allows businesses to connect their phone systems to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) using an Internet connection. This eliminates the need for traditional phone lines and provides a number of benefits, including cost savings, increased flexibility, and improved call quality.
SIP trunking is based on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), which is a standard for initiating, maintaining, and terminating multimedia sessions over the Internet. SIP trunks are virtual circuits that are established between a business’s IP PBX and a service provider’s network. Once a SIP trunk is established, the business can make and receive calls as if they were using traditional phone lines.
