What is VoIP?
VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol or IP) is a technology that enables voice communications over the Internet through the compression of voice into data packets that can be efficiently transmitted over data networks and then converted back into voice at the other end. Data networks, such as the Internet or local area networks (LANs), have always utilized packet-switched technology to transmit information between two communicating terminals (for example, a PC downloading a page from a web server, or one computer sending an e-mail message to another computer).

What is SIP?
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a call control protocol that establishes and terminates "media sessions." Examples of media sessions include phone calls, e-mail, streamed video, and instant messaging. SIP standardizes these communications by adding a protocol that is independent of the underlying network and infrastructure. It is not dependent on ports, pipes, hardware or software, but allows all of these components to talk with each other and media to be controlled independently from the network. Learn More »
What is IP Trunking?
IP Trunking allows businesses with IP PBXs to extend the benefits of Voice over IP (VoIP) convergence from their LAN to the WAN and the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
It eliminates the need for expensive TDM gateways and trunks, helps to increase network efficiencies and cost-savings by converging voice and data traffic on your WAN, and retains all the features and services of your existing TDM connections. Learn More »
