SIP Trunking solutions that fit virtually any size business

From small businesses looking for the flexibility and cost savings of VoIP, to mid-sized businesses looking for business continuity, disaster recovery, and unlimited or metered calling plans, we offer a solution that is ideally suited for your requirements.

What is SIP and SIP Trunking?

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has become the common signaling standard for real-time communications for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). SIP is an open-standard which enables MN Phones customers to seamlessly connect existing customer premise equipment (CPE) with our carrier class voice network. A SIP Trunk is a virtual phone line that utilizes a Broadband connection for access, and offers up to 40% savings over traditional telephone lines.

Shared SIP Trunking - Ideal Solution for Multi-Office Locations

Shared SIP trunking is when more than one office shares SIP trunking services through one account. The benefits are many, and start with your ability to plan for peak concurrent call utilization across the enterprise, versus on a location by location basis. Most of the time this will result in immediate cost savings, as well as a more flexible and scalable solution.

Sample Customer Requirement

Let’s say you have three locations. You currently have 15 lines (POTs lines, or call paths on a PRI) at location one, 10 lines at location two, and 5 lines at location three. That’s 30 lines total today (15 + 10 + 5 = 30).

Our Solution

We provide you with one or many SIP trunk groups, and any number of pre-paid call paths. We also offer the ability to “burst” up to ten (10) additional call paths on-demand for a slight surcharge.

In many cases, you can make due with 20% fewer lines if they could be shared across the enterprise. So instead of 30 lines, you may only need 24 lines (30 x .8 = 24). Not only is that an immediate cost savings, but there are call routing and business continuity benefits included with the service.

Benefits

• Burstability – ability to burst above the number of pre-paid trunks or call paths on-demand (ie/ automatically).
• Control – make changes to the configuration on-demand, and as needed.
• Advanced call routing – provides you with the advanced routing capabilities in our cloud software platform.
• Business continuity (Enhanced SIP trunking) – Configure a SIP trunk to automatically fail over to another location, cell phones, or any number of other scenarios, without manual intervention. If your PBX hardware fails, or you lose power, your customers can still call and reach you.
