WEBINAR: Successfully Deploying Enterprise SIP Trunking: Tools and Techniques for Overcoming Common Roadblocks Wednesday May 2, 2012 2:00pm ET/ 11:00am PT REGISTER TODAY! SIP trunking lowers operating costs and can result in a compelling return on investment. And, once deployed, the same network architecture can be used to tap into new Unified Communications applications. With proper planning, installation times can be quite fast. What's holding up your deployment? Some considerations in moving to SIP trunking include interoperability between an enterprise's existing communications infrastructure - whether it consists of an analog, hybrid or IP PBX - and the service provider network. In addition to making sure that an enterprise leverages its existing investment in premise infrastructure to minimize capital outlays, there are other concerns such as managing Quality of Service and security that naturally come into play. Firewall capabilities, NAT traversal, SIP interoperability and support for remote workers need to be taken into account as well and may represent a new set of challenges that IT managers now have to face from a management perspective. An Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) at the edge of the enterprise network plays a crucial role in taking advantage of the services available through SIP trunking. In this Webinar you'll learn about the tools and techniques you need to overcome these common obstacles and methods to simplify your transition from traditional voice to SIP trunks and beyond.
