SIP Trunking – Microsoft Skype for Business
- Nathaniel Halbrooks
In the past few years, SIP Trunking has become one of the hottest topics in IP Communications. At the same time, Microsoft Lync has been driving a frenetic level of activity in the Unified Communications Space. With the release of Lync 2013, these two topics have converged, as Lync 2013 now has native support for SIP Trunks.
However, because this connectivity is limited to Microsoft Certified SIP Trunks, those who wish to use them are denied many of the advantages of downward price pressure, improved connectivity options and the flexibility that general SIP Trunks offer. Sangoma SBCs solve this issue by allowing Lync to reliably and securely connect to standard SIP Trunks, delivering maximum flexibility and security to those wanting to connect to the PSTN through any SIP trunking provider.
