What is VoIP

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a communication technology that enables one to make voice calls using a high-speed Internet connection rather than a traditional phone line.

A Complete Guide to SIP Trunking

SIP stands for Session Initiation Protocol – an application layer protocol that enables you to run your phone system via the internet rather than traditional phone lines. Trunking is the network of phone lines that connects several users to a telephone network. SIP, or Session Initiation Protocol, is the procedure used to initiate a voice-over IP (VoIP) connection. It is an application layer protocol for establishing real-time audio and/or video sessions between two endpoints (phones, computers, etc.). SIP is the technology that establishes, alters, and ends sessions with one or more parties on an IP network, whether a two-way or a multi-party conference call.
