The Proposition
BT One Voice SIP trunking
One Integrated Telephony Service
• One Voice SIP trunking provides Voice and Fax/Data Call Service for Public and Private Telephony
• The Public Telephony Service is suitable to replace your existing PSTN service. It comprises:
… Inbound Calling to the public phone numbers for your locations (Direct Dial-In) from any national or international public network origin.
Your phone numbers are number ported to BT, or you get new numbers from BT if desired.
… National Outbound Calling to the Public Telephony Network of the country where your respective location is situated.
These are calls to destinations in the Fixed and Mobile Networks and to Inbound Service Numbers, as well as to domestic Short Code Services incl. Emergency Services
… International Outbound Calling to Fixed and Mobile Networks as well as to Inbound Services of the desired country (as far as callable from abroad), satellite networks and generic international services.
• The Private Telephony Service makes your internal telephony more effective. It comprises:
… On-Net Calling between your national and international locations within your own private BT Global VPN dial plan.
The VPN access via SIP trunking complements the TDM-based access variants. Your SIP trunking locations can be integrated seamlessly into your existing VPN service.
Public and Private Calls can be placed equally via the same lines with very user-friendly Dialling Rules.
The Call Service
BT One Voice SIP trunking
• Your IP PBXs are connected to the BT “Global Managed Voice” network which provides the World-wide Voice Services of BT and connects to the National and International PSTN Networks as well as to other BT networks.
• Your IP PBXs access our network at Local Voice POPs which contain in the first place a Session Boarder Controller (SBC = firewall). The IP connectivity is provided by the BT MPLS network.
• Internally, the accesses terminate at a Central Host Platform that maps your phone numbers to your access trunks. It organises the call service in both call directions. This system “talks” SIP to your PBXs.

Building the Access
BT One Voice SIP trunking
Your Site A
Your Site B
• The BT MPLS network is used to provide the connectivity between your sites and the local BT Voice POP that serves the country where your sites are situated. BT IP Connect is the related BT product. It provides MPLS networking as a managed service.
• An MPLS VPN is created within this MPLS network which contains your sites and the BT Voice POP that needs to be connected. No other customer or any foreign party can access this VPN. Per country, one VPN is created.
• The access to the MPLS network is realised at the nearest BT MPLS POP where a “provider edge” or “PE” router is available.
• At your site, an “customer edge” or “CE” router will be installed that connects to the PE router at the BT MPLS site. This CE router is the handover point where you connect your systems (at according Ethernet ports).

Handover Points
BT One Voice SIP trunking
Your Site
All platforms and components of the BT Voice Network and the BT MPLS IP access network are built consequently in a redundant way, preferably using “High Availability” redundancy with hot-standby failover. In this way we ensure a very high availability of the network platforms.
In order to improve the resiliency of the solution further, also the access connectivity to the BT MPLS network can be made redundant. The access for an individual site will then be built resilient with redundant PE/CE routers and redundant cabling between them.
Resilience Option – Redundant IP Accesses
Local Voice POP
BT One Voice SIP trunking
Your Site
Optionally, the CE routers on your site can be connected to PE routers in different locations as well. Should one IP access POP fail become entirely unavailable for any reason – damage to the site like fire, loss of power supply, loss of transmission links – then the operation continues via the access to the secondary IP POP.
Resilience Option – Geographically Redundant IP Accesses
Local Voice POP

Your Site B
In case of several sites, each site can of course have redundant accesses as well
• This may be independent redundant accesses for each site
• Or you may connect both sites via an own WAN and use the access of the other site as redundancy
• Or you combine both options – just as you like!
Resilience Option – Redundant IP Accesses
Local Voice POP
Own WAN
BT One Voice SIP trunking
Within your own infrastructure, you may also want to apply redundancy.
• An option is that you let the PBX of one site act as a backup PBX for the other site, and vice versa
• In this case, we configure additional SIP access trunks for each site to the respective backup PBX. For each site, the primary and backup trunks form a trunk group that jointly serve their related site.
• For the call service provided to each site it makes no difference whether the calls are exchanged with the primary or backup PBX.
Resilience Option – PBX Redundancy
Local Voice POP

Your Site A
Your Site B
For selected countries, BT operates several Voice POPs. In this case, your systems can be connected to two independent, geographically separated Voice POPs. This option is usually called Dual Homing.
• Both your PBX/UC system and the BT SIP trunking host know the paths via both POPs. If one POP fails, simply choose the path via the secondary POP.
• For the call service it makes no difference whether the calls travel via the primary or secondary POP.
• Dual Homing is currently available in: Germany, Netherlands, USA It is currently being extended to: Belgium, France, Switzerland

A developing Alternative: Access via BT Ethernet Connect
Your Site Local Voice POP
BT Ethernet Network
• As an alternative to the MPLS-based IP access, BT is developing the Ethernet-based network services and their use as access technology for the BT One Voice services. The related IP product is BT Ethernet Connect.
• In the same way as in case of the MPLS access, BT will provide the connectivity plus an access device to your site. This access device (NTE) will be the handover point.
• Similar to the MPLS access, the Ethernet access provides a protected IP connection between your site and the Voice POP that is not shared with or accessible for any other customer or foreign party.
• BT Ethernet access for One Voice SIP trunking is possible in: Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, United Kingdom

How One Voice SIP trunking works …
• Defining the SIP Trunks
BT One Voice SIP trunking
SIP Trunks
Local Voice POP (SBC)
• SIP Trunks are distinguished logical connections between your PBX system(s) and the BT Voice POP(s). Each SIP trunk is actually a unique combination of peer addresses on either side (PBX and SBC) which talk to each other. (Peer address = IP address + UDP/TCP port number used for SIP)
The SIP trunks correspond to the physical access lines (E1, S2M, n × S0) in the TDM world, but without being bound to a specific copper or fiber line. The physical bandwidth is provided by the IP (MPLS/Ethernet) cloud.
• Within the BT network, it is actually the Central SIP Trunking Host where the SIP trunks are hosted; the POP SBC acts as an entry gate at the network border. It prolongs your SIP trunks internally to the Trunking Host. The Trunking Host is the entity that really talks SIP to your PBXs, and that will organise your calls!
• The Central SIP Trunking Host needs at least 1 SIP trunk to each of your PBXs.

Central SIP Trunking Host Platform
BT One Voice SIP trunking
Profile of a SIP Trunk
On the Central SIP Trunking Host, each SIP trunk is associated with a Profile that defines how the trunking host needs to work with your PBX system and what the call service needs to look like.
Profile parameters are, for example:
Typical Profile Parameters of a One Voice SIP trunk and the Call Service that it provides
Remote End Point What is the peer address of your system to which we send the SIP messages? Via which Voice POP can it be reached, and which alternative POP can eventually be used (Dual Homing)?
Traffic Capacity What are the traffic limitations of this trunk – specified in in/out/bothway direction, measured in numbers of parallel call sessions or amount of IP bandwidth by the call sessions?
Location Which location is associated with this SIP trunk?
What are PSTN and VPN numbers of the location, the user extensions, the default extension?
In which Emergency Area is your location situated – that is: which Police, Ambulance or Fire Service station needs to get your calls?
Or can we alternatively safely identify the location and all its specific data by the calling phone number (CLI) that your system sends?
Number Format, Dial Plan
Does your system exchange public PSTN or private VPN number formats?
To which country or numbering plan relate all the PSTN phone numbers (calling, called etc.) that your system sends and expects? (Is it UK, France, North America, Hong Kong, other?)
Feature Settings Shall calls to certain number types (like Premium Rate) be blocked?
Shall CLI Restriction be applied permanently on outgoing/incoming calls?
Shall incoming anonymous calls be rejected?
BT One Voice SIP trunking
Groups of SIP Trunks
On a higher level, it is also possible to group several SIP Trunks. This is intended for priority / backup constructions and for load distribution purposes.
Profile of a Trunk Group
Trunks in the Group Which individual SIP trunks are combined in this trunk group?
Traffic Capacity What are the traffic limitations for the whole of the trunk group?
Routing Mode Shall the traffic be distributed over the individual trunks (Load Distribution), or shall the trunks be filled in a specific order (Priority Routing)?
Load Distribution Which share of the traffic shall each trunk receive?
Priority Routing In which order shall the trunks be used? The next trunk will be chosen when the current one is either full or currently not usable (trunk down, error from PBX etc.).
Note that these trunk groups are independent of Dual Homing constructions. In case of Dual Homing, the same individual SIP trunk is replicated via a second Voice POP. These doubled trunks can also be members of Trunk Groups.
These Trunk Groups can be applied very flexibly, for example for distributing the calls to a cluster of PBX/UC servers on your side, or for overflowing traffic from a primary server to a secondary/backup server that can serve the respective locations alternatively.

• The table above shows a number of examples of PBX types that One Voice SIP trunking supports today. The list of supported manufacturers and systems will steadily grow further. Major types also undergo a certification test in the BT test lab.
• The following slides briefly discuss typical connection scenarios using the examples of Cisco Call Manager and Microsoft Lync, and show how also H.323- and TDM-based PBX systems can be connected.
BT One Voice SIP trunking
Your Cisco Environment
• Cisco Unified CallManager is a certified IP-PBX/UC system that can be connected via One Voice SIP trunking.
• You can connect your own CallManager platform via One Voice SIP trunking, or use our BT One Enterprise Cisco product which equally applies One Voice SIP trunking for the access to public and private telephony services.
• CallManager is capable to support SIP-based network connections natively and directly without the need of additional gateways. The compact Call Manager version “Call Manager Express” is likewise supported.
• Older releases of Cisco CallManager using H.323 trunks can be connected on a non-standard basis. For this, the local BT Voice POP will need to be equipped with a H.323/SIP interworking function – see below.

Shared CUCM
• CallManager is a good example of a PBX system that can operated multiple locations as a central PBX. It can even be used sensibly for serving locations in neighbour countries (when distances and capacities allow this).
• Such systems usually group the user phones by the locations where they are situated, being aware how much IP bandwidth is available towards each location, knowing which location-specific dial plans need to be applied, which SIP trunks can be used to hand over the PSTN calls to the public network, and finally how the identity of the calling user needs to be turned into a public CLI for the location where the caller or phone is situated.
• One Voice SIP trunking supports such central PBX constructions. The access will be installed to the site where the central PBX is situated, and one or several SIP trunks will be configured between the BT Voice POPs of the involved countries and CallManager.
In a simple approach we configure 1 SIP trunk for each location as if each had its own PBX.
• One Voice SIP trunks can also be shared by several locations. The preconditions are that the locations are in the same country and that the location of the caller can be identified uniquely by the CLI that CallManager transmits. This is mandatory, and it must be ensured also in case of CLI Restriction and Call Forwarding.

Your Lync Environment
• Microsoft Lync is a certified IP-PBX/UC system that can be connected via One Voice SIP trunking.
• You can connect your own Lync platform via One Voice SIP trunking, or use our BT One Enterprise Lync product which equally applies One Voice SIP trunking for the access to public and private telephony services.
• Microsoft Lync is capable to support SIP-based network connections natively. However, please be aware that Microsoft applies their own, proprietary audio codec RTaudio that is not supported by regular telephony networks and services. Therefore, the audio streams need to be transcoded from RTaudio to a standard codec like G.711 or G.729. For this purpose, Microsoft requires the use of a Media Server or alternatively another IP-PBX as a gateway towards the telephony network. This is key in Microsofts’ architecture for Lync.
• A concept discussion can be found here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff799212(v=ocs.14).aspx
• Suitable alternative media servers and IP-PBXs can be found here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/lync/gg131938.aspx, see: “Qualified IP-PBXs and Gateways”. Microsofts reference provider for Media Servers is AudioCodes.

Lync
BT One Voice SIP trunking
• Microsoft Lync is designed to provide enterprise UC services in distributed environments, that is, for companies with many sites and locations in the same country or even worldwide. In such an environment, many server roles may be centralised, even in one location that serves many countries.
• Also the Mediation Servers can be shared, but they can be centralised only to a limited extend. These servers carry the voice media streams that must be exchanged between the user phones and the BT Voice POPs serving the respective country where these phones are located. It will usually be very ineffective to send the media streams over a long distance from the phones to a central Media Server in another country or even on another continent, only to send them straight back towards the BT Voice POP in the originating country!
• Therefore, the mediation servers are typically decentralised, keeping the path between the phones, the Media Servers and the local BT POP short. Typically, each country should have at least one own Mediation Server.
• For this, BT will deliver the access lines, routers and SIP trunks to the locations of the Mediation Servers.

Support of Enterprise SBCs
Local Voice POP
• In the same way as BT on the network side, you may want to operate an Enterprise SBC that decouples your PBX/UC infrastructure from any external components and accesses outside your organisation and implements a well-defined and well-controlled entry gate for the same. This can be required due to security considerations, but it may also have very practical advantages to hide your infrastructure behind an SBC.
• One Voice SIP trunking fully supports this approach. In fact, it makes not much difference if the BT Voice POPs connect directly to a PBX/UC system or if that happens via an intermediate SBC or other SIP gateway.
• In order to achieve a cost-efficient solution, your Enterprise SBCs will typically be installed in central locations. BT will then build the accesses to these sites where your SBCs are situated, and hand over all SIP trunks there.
• A redundancy of the SBCs can easily be integrated into an overall access resilience concept as shown in the previous chapter. The SIP trunks will then be replicated accordingly for terminating at the set of your SBCs. The traffic over the redundant SBCs and SIP trunks can be distributed in load sharing or priority mode.
• Well-known Enterprise SBCs that we have operated successfully with One Voice SIP trunking are, for example:
ACME Packet Net-Net SD, Genband S3 (now Quantix), Cisco Cube, Avaya SIPERA

Enterprise SBC PBX/UC Systems
BT One Voice SIP trunking
• One Voice SIP trunking is a native SIP access product, meaning that it applies the SIP protocol for the control of VoIP calls.
• However, there can be situations where you may want to use One Voice SIP trunking with an existing H.323 PBX – like earlier versions of Cisco Call Manager – or with an existing TDM PBXs. A reason can be to introduce the new access while planning to replace a legacy PBX system at a later date.
• For such cases, One Voice SIP trunking can provide the necessary interworking to SIP:
VoIP calls using the H.323 protocol are interworked to SIP by the Session Border Controller (SBC) of our Local Voice POP.
TDM (ISDN/analogue) calls will be interworked by the Access Router at your site. For this, a different router model will be selected that provides the necessary ISDN or analogue interfaces and a SIP/TDM Interworking function.

Placing PSTN and VPN Calls
BT One Voice SIP trunking
Choice of the Number Format between PBX and Network
For each SIP trunk that connects to your PBX/UC systems, we configure which Number Format the exchanged phone numbers shall have. In the first place, one basic decision is necessary: Shall the phone numbers exchanged between your PBX and the network be:
• Public PSTN phone numbers, or
• Private VPN phone numbers?
What is the difference
• The standard number format will usually be the PSTN format. The official national dial plan of the country where your location is situated will be applied, which allows you to dial national and international PSTN destinations and domestic short codes – including emergency – just like from a normal subscriber line. Additionally, private VPN phone numbers can be dialled after a special VPN trunk prefix. One Voice SIP trunking defines a unified trunk prefix for this – in most countries this prefix is “88”.
• The alternative number format is the Global VPN format. This format is useful when existing TDM-based Global VPN accesses shall be migrated to SIP trunking. Existing PBX dialling rules and dial plan configurations can simply be taken over.
The agreed number format must be configured both on the PBX/UC system and in the network on the Central SIP trunking host. It is then applied to all exchanged phone numbers – ie to called, calling and redirecting numbers.

• International PSTN call „011“ + other country code + area/subscriber no. (011) 44 20 …
BT One Voice SIP trunking
Dialling Rules – Other Countries
The Dialling Rules for other countries follow the same basic rules:
• Generally, we apply the default international and national trunk prefixes as defined in that country.
• Local dialling is not supported – see below for comments on this subject.
• Short codes and other domestic number types are dialled without any trunk prefix
• Private VPN numbers are dialled with a special VPN trunk prefix. This is usually the “88”, but especially in countries where no national trunk prefix is used we need to choose a different code to avoid code conflicts.
Example: Dialling rules for Australia – other international prefix, inbound services in domestic range “1”
• International PSTN call: „0011“ + country code + area/subscriber no. (0011) 44 …
• Domestic standard PSTN call: „0“ + area code + subscriber number (0) 29 … (Sydney)
• Domestic inbound call: “1” + service number 1 800 … (tollfree)
• Emergency call: Short code without any prefix etc. 000
• Private Global VPN call „88“ + private site ID + user extension (88) 123 4567
Example: Dialling rules for Singapore – no national trunk prefix, other VPN prefix
• International PSTN call: „000 “ + country code + area/subscriber no. (000) 44 …
• Domestic standard PSTN call: Subscriber/service number starting with 3,6,8 or 9 6 …
• Emergency call: Short code 999
• Private Global VPN call „44“ + private site ID + user extension (44) 123 4567

Keep it Safe and Simple
Local Dialling
One Voice SIP trunking supports dialling on the national level, but no local dialling. Where users shall have the option to dial locally for calls within the geographic code area, omitting the area code and eventual trunk prefix, this needs to be supported by the PBX with according translation rules respectively site dial plans. This is in fact common practice.
• Many countries allow local dialling, but by far not all countries. The tendency is that countries go away from local dialling.
• Where this is allowed, the rules where local dialling is allowed and where not are often inconsistent. The most prominent example is North America, where individual dialling rules are defined for each geographic area.
• Remark for North America: All national numbers are dialled always with the trunk prefix “1” and area code, including local calls and 555 calls to local directory enquiries. We do not differentiate dial patterns for local and long-distance calls.
Alternative Trunk Prefixes, Regional Dial Codes for Cross-border Calls
One Voice SIP trunking allows calling all supported national and international services with the standard national and international trunk prefixes. However, it does not support the use of alternative trunk prefixes for placing calls via alternative phone services respectively via other carriers. Examples: France, Australia, Singapore
One Voice SIP trunking allows calling all destinations of the national dialling plan. This applies also to overseas areas that have been mapped into the numbering plan of the main land. However, regional cross-border dialling with special dial codes for destinations in a neighbour country is not supported. These need to be called with their international dial codes. Example: Singapore.
Global Address Formats, aka “E.164 format”
Some PBX/UC manufacturers prefer the Global Address format (“+” followed by the E.164 country code), or even declare this format a standard number format for SIP. However, this format does not allow you to formulate domestic codes (like the emergency short codes “112”, “999” or “911”, or inbound service codes eg in Australia) without additional context attributes to the number, which are not commonly supported by the manufacturers, yet. In fact, many PBX systems simply do not even support the “+” character.
Therefore, One Voice SIP trunking focuses on the official national number formats. This ensures that all services can be called.

• Bringing it Live
BT One Voice SIP trunking
Organisational Issues
Plan & Build
1. The BTRegional Order Manager will plan with you which access configuration shall be built to each of your sites (based on BT MPLS and/or Ethernet), and which voice configuration shall be implemented on top of this. This comprises, which individual PBX systems shall be connected for your locations, which SIP trunks are needed, and what all the related phone numbers, feature settings etc. shall be.
2. The BT Access & IP Engineering team will build the access lines, access routers to your site(s).
3. The BT Voice Engineering team will then configure the SIP trunk and the voice service and test it together with you. BT provides a “test & turn-up” document that describes the necessary preparations and the test cases.
The test results will be documented in a test protocol; on completion of the tests it will be signed off and handed over to you.
4. When the voice service to your PBX is successfully built, it will be fully activated.
When you want use your One Voice SIP trunking access(es) with your existing PBX phone number(s), and these are till this moment operated by another operator, then we will now initiate the number porting process so that your phone numbers are switched over from your previous operator to BT. When this has happened, you receive all incoming calls to your phone numbers via BT and the new One Voice SIP trunk accesses.
5. After that, your new One Voice SIP trunking access is live.
BT One Voice SIP trunking
Preparation Issues
Access Configuration
The BT Regional Order Manager will clarify the individual needs with you for:
• Suitable space to install the access equipment; this should be collocated with your PBX/UC equipment
• Power supply for the access router equipment.
• Cabling that needs to be installed for the access lines.
SIP Trunks
The BT Regional Order Manager will clarify with you:
• The details of your PBX/UC system: which elements for PBX, Media Servers, SBCs etc. need to be connected, which models (manufacturer, product, software version) do you use.
• The details for each SIP trunk: IP addresses, UDP/TCP ports for SIP, trunk group and backup/Dual Homing configurations, phone numbers associated with each trunk, trunk sizes, voice and fax media codecs, number formats, feature settings eg for CLI Restrictions, specific SIP parameters to be used, etc.
Test & Turn-up
• When the connectivity between your systems and the BT network is established, the SIP trunks will be configured. The BT Voice Engineer will have prepared all this by an agreed day.
• Likewise, the configurations of your systems and their cable connection to the BT access router should be completed by then.
• For the turn-up and test, your systems will need to be equipped with test phones (also fax, when applicable). These devices must be able to place and receive calls via the new SIP trunk(s), so that call tests can be carried out with the BT engineer.
• The turn-up and tests need to be done together with the administrators of your PBX/UC system. For this they need to be available at an agreed day to support the procedure, both for placing and accepting test calls and for eventually analysing the test calls and debugging the configuration of your systems.

All national numbers and short codes shown here refer to caller locations in one of the federal states of the United States of America. Calls to US dependencies, Canada and the Carribean states that share the North American Numbering Plan are regarded as international calls, and not all services available there may be callable from the US.
*) Geographic subscriber numbers mean both fixed network and mobile network subscribers. **) 555 numbers are unified numbers for directory enquiry services. By nature, however, they are local numbers, and they connect to a local directory service in the caller‘s own area. Similarly as for local subscriber numbers, the PBX needs to apply the local area code as a prefix to the 555 number for calling the service responsible for the own area. Alternatively, the user can dial the area code of another city or area for calling the directory service there.

Calls to service numbers starting with „1“ (13, 180, 190) are domestic numbers that are dialled without the leading „0“ as trunk prefix. They are not E.164 numbers, and therefore they can not be written in international number format, ie as +61 13, +61 180, and +61 190. They can not be called from abroad.

At day 1 (2014), we will support only and outbound PSTN calls service from customers in Singapore to subscriber numbers in Singapore and abroad, but no calls to Singaporean short code services, inbound service numbers (toll-free, premium) or any special services. It will also not be possible to operate a Singaporean customer in the BT network. This is due to some additional regulatory requirements in Singapore that need to be supported by the network with country-specific solutions. The Global VPN service will be fully available from day 1.
