Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has become the common signaling standard for real-time business communications for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP).

As a SIP Trunk provider, SIP allows us to packetize and prioritize multimedia traffic over digital circuits, offering higher quality and more reliability than traditional Voice over IP phone service.

SIP Trunks allow for all users to receive a personal business phone number, but without the need for every user to have a phone line.  In other words, your company can have 10 phone lines with 20 phone numbers, or vice versa– 20 phone lines with 10 phone numbers.  The choice is yours.

SIP service is typically more cost-effective and scalable than traditional phone service alternatives, and with our geo-redundant platform and failover features, you can rest assured that your business lines will always be accessible.

SIP Trunks are virtual, “cloud-based,” high definition (HD) phone lines that utilize a Broadband connection and your business phone system for access. SIP Trunking eliminates the cost of maintaining two networks (POTS + Ethernet) by placing your phone traffic on your Ethernet network.

Additionally, SIP Trunks allow two devices to have several different methods of communication streams running, allowing businesses to transmit several calling paths over one channel. SIP allows businesses to network all of their locations under one account, so for example, an inbound call can ring to multiple locations.

Working with our upstream Carriers, ACC Telecom provides SIP Trunking service to business phone systems and remote employees by utilizing their existing broadband connections.

Though SIP is a signaling protocol used within the Voice over IP umbrella, it is inherently faster, more adaptable and scalable than traditional Voice over IP services.  In other words, it’s a business-class form over voice over IP.

SIP Trunks can carry all forms of media, such as voice, video, and data. SIP can handle large amounts of data and traffic while adapting its signaling protocol to match that of the PBX system. For these reasons, SIP Trunks are preferred by companies that have multiple branches, remote workers, or want to implement a video calling and video conferencing solution.

The benefits of SIP technology are endless, from small businesses looking for the flexibility and cost savings of Voice over IP phone service to enterprises looking for business network continuity and disaster recovery.

SIP Trunking technology is the perfect solution for businesses that already own a phone system, but want to reduce their monthly phone bill, gain business continuity features, and increase security.

SIP Trunks offer significant advantages over landline phone service, notably the flexibility and price. Analog lines have limited functionality and high costs. SIP Trunks, however, are quality reliable, less expensive, and offer network solutions.

Today, with SIP technology, choices are much more dynamic and offer a host of solutions and features tailored to each individual company.
