SIP & Internet Connectivity
SIP Origination/Termination
What is SIP? SIP can be generally defined as a Voice over IP (“VoIP”) signaling protocol that is the de-facto standard for establishing voice sessions over an IP based network. SIP trunks are used to “carry” VoIP calls across an IP network. In IP Telephony SIP trunks replace legacy TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) and fixed line circuits used in the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) for the establishment and transmission of voice communications.
Proper SIP trunk selection is critical to the operation and security of a VoIP solution. SIP trunk selection and configuration are imperative for an organization to successfully achieve maximum cost savings from their IP PBX System mainly by ensuring a VoIP call travels the LCR (Least Cost Route) to the dialed party. When both caller and receiver are set up with IP telephony systems, the entire call is made as a digital signal that completely bypasses the PSTN entirely. SIP Trunks also can provide savings when a call starts out digital and ends up analog; that is, the call signal remains a digital signal on the IP network until the last leg of its journey and then be converted back to analog at the termination point. This allows the call to bypass the double-conversion normally associated with VoIP. On the security side, a misconfigured SIP trunk could not only expose your IP PBX to unauthorized users, but also potentially expose your entire network.

Internet Connectivity
Whether your business or organization needs new Internet access, or are just looking to expand your existing Internet access, Neturally Speaking's relationships with top tier carriers ensure that your organization gets the best service for your needs at the price and bandwidth.
As an authorized agent for numerous carriers Neturally Speaking is positioned to provide the best Internet access solution for your needs. Where ISP's strive to sell their service in their footprint, whether its appropriate or not, Neturally Speaking is not an ISP and only seeks to provide your organization with the best connectivity solution for your specific needs and requirements. Moreover, a single "local" ISP carrier often simply cannot cover all your locations-this could be disasterous for your VoIP. Neturally Speaking provides an objective selection of Internet Service that encompasses a complete assessment of your organizations specific Internet Access needs. Issues such as one Internet access carrier servicing all of your locations, being optimal for low latency connectivity between offices, or managing the proper selection of multiple carriers in a geographically distributed network is no small challenge.

Having relationships with many carriers, our staff can manage the complete cycle of your Internet access from ordering, implementation management, and ongoing support. Neturally Speaking ends the "ping pong" effect many small to medium sized organizations receive when trying to address an issue with a carrier. Indeed, issues with connectivity, slow performance and service outages often become finger pointing "blame game" sessions whereby the customer gets left in the lurch trying to fix problems and maintain network uptime remotely with little cohesive assistance. Internet Access from Neturally Speaking eliminates the finger pointing by becomming your single point of contact for all of your Internet connectivity issues.
