Transitioning from ISDN to SIP!
• Challenges with DID Numbers!– Redundancy Issues with DID numbers!– DID numbers had limited capacity and could not be
expanded due to aging equipment at telco end!– Lines could not be increased for Clearing period!– Expensive Cloud based Queuing !
Transitioning from ISDN to SIP!
• Coventry University is using Janet SIP Trunks!– Reduced cost of provisioning ( +no
additional line charges)!– High Availability through redundant
Janet links.!– SIP Service Provider is dual
connected to Janet POPs.!– Quick provisioning of Service!– Reduced TCO!– Reduced call charges!– Flexibility to increase or decrease
channels!– Additional services like Cloud based
Queuing at competitive price. !
!
!!
Backup for SIP!
• High Availability for SIP!
• Testing Secondary Service Provider for SIP Trunks !– Backup internet connection for
diversity of circuit for Secondary SIP provider.!
– Outbound calls can be made using Secondary SIP Provider!
– Inbound calls can be re-directed to switchboard backup number.!
