Benefits Beyond SIP with SIP Trunking as a Service

SIP trunking is continuing to grow as a leading way to connect SIP (VoIP) telephony systems with connectivity providers as it has for nearly two decades. When VoIP became the de facto protocol for voice calls, given the disruptive economics compared to using dedicated circuits to connect headquarters with branch offices, adoption skyrocketed. Innovators found new collaboration applications-based on VoIP including unifying communications between traditional telephony, software-based platforms (Zoom, MS Teams, etc.) and cloud contact center platforms enabling agents to work from their homes if they had a stable Internet connection with high enough bandwidth.

The Proliferation of Real-Time Collaboration

SIP trunking has so many benefits that communication service providers (CSPs) made this a mainstay for their own competitive advantage. This drove billions of dollars in new revenue when those CSPs resold the equipment and software necessary for organizations to transform their national and international networks, including Session Border Controllers (SBC) with VoIP routing capabilities that improved availability, quality, and enabled new feature sets. Carriers sold more Internet access, communication service providers sold more services, managed service providers sold more related products and solutions, and application developers built “over the top” innovations, all of which led to the proliferation of real-time collaboration (voice, video, and messaging, document sharing, screen sharing and more).

This has enabled massive successes from companies like Microsoft with their popular Teams platform, and the embedding of session management over an even more powerful Internet, which is soon going to grow further as 5G and ultra-wide broadband become increasingly ubiquitous.
