New SIP trunking service for SMBs

NEW JERSEY, USA: Dialogic Corporation (“Dialogic”), a global provider of  products and technologies for media and signal processing and Broadvox LLC (“Broadvox”), a leader in providing integrated managed VoIP services to SMB, enterprise and carrier customers, has announced the interoperability of the Dialogic 2000 Media Gateway Series and Broadvox GO! SIP trunking.

The combined service and hardware solution enables SMB and enterprise customers the ability to deploy the flexible and cost effective SIP trunking service with legacy PBX and key telephone systems.

Broadvox GO! SIP trunking products provide significant cost savings of up to 70 percent when compared to traditional telecom services. Customers receive unlimited local calling with discounted toll-free, nationwide and international calling. Service options include E911, DIDs and local number portability, allowing businesses to keep their current phone numbers.

The Dialogic 2000 Media Gateway Series (DMG2000 Series) provides a SIP trunk interface to the Broadvox service with T1/E1 trunk interfaces to the PBX or hybrid key telephone system. The DMG2000 Series is noted for its ease of use through web-based configuration interface and reliable 1U rack mount appliance design. A range of TDM interface densities from single T1/E1 to quad T1/E1 and ‘stackability’ provides a competitive SIP trunking interface for businesses with 50 or more users.

“The arrival of SIP trunk service, delivered by providers such as Broadvox, is similar to the value proposition and market disruption seen with deregulation of the US long distance services market in the 1980’s” notes Jim Machi, Senior VP of Marketing at Dialogic. “This time it’s even better for business since the cost advantage covers both local and long distance service. To date, most of the market has focused on introducing SIP trunks with the purchase of an IP-PBX. Our DMG2000 Series of appliance gateways are a cost effective way to open up the much larger market – the installed base of SMB and enterprise customers that continue to get good service from their existing telephone system, but want the benefits of SIP trunking now.”

Dialogic recently introduced two new models to the DMG2000 Series with failover relays that further enhance their use with SIP trunk services. The failover feature enables the gateway to switch back to conventional PSTN service in the event of service disruption over the broadband IP connection. This can provide extra assurance to customers eager to take advantage of SIP trunks, while keeping a traditional PSTN route available as a backup or alternate calling route.

"The Dialogic 2000 Media Gateway Series is a terrific complement to the Broadvox GO! SIP Trunking service. Interoperability with Dialogic means that Broadvox VARs can offer any medium to large SMB or enterprise customer an easy to deploy communication solution by replacing or supplementing a legacy PSTN service with SIP trunks without making a major IP-PBX investment. The ability to insert the gateway between the existing phone system and the SIP trunking service delivers maximum benefit with minimal disruption to the legacy infrastructure. Plus, it provides savings on monthly telecom costs while providing the foundation to move toward an all VoIP SIP-based system in the future.” said David Byrd, VP Marketing and Sales at Broadvox.
