ECTtelecom Announces SIP Trunking As Bridge to Enterprise Communications

Online, May 31, 2011 (Newswire.com) - According to industry expert Kenny Wilder, many enterprises see SIP Trunking as basically the same technology as VoIP. However, SIP Trunking is proving to offer a much enhanced set of IP Based telephony services, far beyond the capability of VoIP.

"SIP Trunking is providing a bridge in the gap of enterprise communications" explains Kenny Wilder, President of ECTtelecom. "Once telecom managers realize the benefits, as well as the substantial cost savings potential of an entirely IP-based telephony network, the decision to make the switch becomes clear." Wilder explains that the technology not only handles voice, but can manage anything that can be converted to data, such as video, instant messaging, email and concurrent call sessions using the same "line".

Traditional telecommunications technology would require more physical lines to accomplish more functionality which translates to more cost. SIP Trunking, however, simply uses bandwidth through an Ethernet or Broadband connection to support a much richer feature set than any legacy network technology. "Bandwidth is affordable, even in developing countries and certainly in the United States" says Wilder, "which means that businesses can leverage this with SIP Trunking to dramatically lower their telecom cost and realize a return on their SIP Trunking investment in a short timeframe".

ECTtelecom research reveals that most businesses who deploy SIP Trunking realize a return within a nine to twelve month period. "These numbers are based on raw data, but the increase in productivity and business growth as a result of the enhanced features that SIP offers are hard to estimate but are a clear advantage in today's marketplace" concludes Wilder.
