SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)

A SIP or (Session Initiation Protocol) connection is a service offered by a variety of Internet phone service providers (Mitel, NetSolutions, Paetec, etc.) in the Baltimore and DC metro areas as well as nationally. SIP connects a company's business phone system to the existing Public Service Telephone Network (PSTN) via an internet connection using the SIP / VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) standard. Using a SIP phone provider allows two VoIP phones to communicate using a standardized methodology. Serving the DC / Virginia and Maryland areas, McEnroe Voice and Data is your expert provider for SIP phone technology.

How do SIP and VoIP work together?

When using SIP enhanced VoIP, your VoIP phone system will support all real time communications, including voice, video conferencing, instant messaging, collaboration applications and gaming. With SIP, your employees can also inform others of their presence information, including their availability and the best way to contact them.

How can VoIP with SIP connectivity simplify your business phone system?

• A SIP connection shares the same internet connection with normal data traffic. This capability removes the need to have a separate PRI/Channel-Banked T-1 for voice installed in the phone closet.
• As with basic internet, SIP phone trunks can be bundled together for more bandwidth/call volume.
• A SIP phone provider can offer you increased flexibility and robust features to improve customer service.
• The collaboration of VoIP and SIP can reduce costs for long distance.
• A SIP service provider can integrate basic VoIP with web email and chat services.

What is SIP Trunking?

SIP Trunking is a "smart" 24-channel digital T-1 that can adjust itself for data/call volume with your phone on the fly. For example, consider a highly-traveled bridge. There are signs above lanes that show green or red. These are changed on the fly by the DOT to allow for more traffic to travel in a certain direction when necessary. Imagine, the bridge knew that there was a sudden increase in traffic, and it automatically adjusted lanes of travel to accommodate the increased flow on one side. Sounds great doesn't it? That is SIP Trunking.
