Features
SIP trunk has the following features:
1.
Only one secure and QoS guaranteed SIP trunk link is required between a SIP trunk device and the
ITSP. The SIP trunk link can carry multiple concurrent calls, and the carrier only authenticates the
link instead of each SIP call carried on this link.
2.
The internal calls of the enterprise are placed by the enterprise IP-PBX. The outbound calls of the
enterprise are forwarded by the SIP trunk device to the ITSP, and are finally routed to the PSTN by
the device in the ITSP. Enterprises do not need to maintain the PSTN trunk. Consequently, they save
the costs of hardware and maintenance.
3.
By setting destination addresses, the enterprise can select to connect to multiple ITSPs, to make full
use of the ITSPs all over the world, and save call costs.
4.
With the SIP trunk device deployed, the entire network can use the SIP protocol to better support
IP communication services, like voice, conference, and instant messaging.
5.
A SIP trunk device differs from a SIP proxy server. The SIP trunk device initiates a new call request
to the ITSP on behalf of the user after receiving a call request from the user, and both the user and
the ITSP communicate only with the SIP trunk device. During the forwarding process, the SIP trunk
device forwards both signaling messages and RTP media messages.
Typical applications
The SIP trunk device is deployed between the enterprise IP-PBX and the ITSP. All internal calls are placed
by the enterprise IP-PBX. All outbound calls are forwarded by the SIP trunk device to the ITSP through the
SIP trunk link.
