TalkSwitch and Voice over IP
Voice over IP (VoIP) is simply a way to send telephone calls over
the Internet. It's a powerful technology that provides benefits that
can't be achieved with traditional telephone networks alone.
Do more with your TalkSwitch VoIP-enabled phone system. Use
VoIP
services, extend your phone system beyond your office to
connect anywhere IP extensions,
and connect your branch offices together with
multi-branch networking.
VoIP-enabled TalkSwitch systems give you the freedom to choose how you connect.
You can migrate from traditional telephone lines and grow with VoIP services.
Plus, your investment is protected because TalkSwitch uses the industry-standard
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
VoIP service providers
TalkSwitch has been tested with select VoIP SIP trunking service provider
partners to assure compatibility and support.
VoIP SIP trunking can deliver significant cost savings, flexibility, scalability
and new features. You can have multiple calls per telephone number. Adding telephone
numbers is easy - even out-of-area numbers for virtual local presence and toll-free
service. Each number can have separate call handling, so you can route incoming calls
to greeting messages or directly to specific extensions. It's quick, easy, and
cost-effective to grow, adding extra lines and numbers often without extra hardware.

VoIP service partners. Each offers a unique service package.
Many VoIP service providers offer VoIP SIP trunking over your existing broadband Internet
connection. For high-traffic applications and additional quality of service, some providers
offer SIP trunking over their own access facilities (e.g. T1 and higher).
Connect Anywhere IP extensions
Extend your phone system beyond your office with
connect anywhere extensions
in home offices or for mobile
workers. IP phone extensions can be located anywhere with Internet access — at the home
offices of teleworkers or on mobile workers' PCs with a soft-phone client. TalkSwitch
keeps you connected.
Multi-Branch Networking
Your business has branch offices. With VoIP, TalkSwitch systems can be networked together
over the Internet. Each office on a TalkSwitch VoIP network can dial directly to any other
office, eliminating inter-office calling charges. You can even take calls at one office and
transfer them to another branch to be answered.

Connecting multi-location offices with VoIP.
VoIP and SIP trunking services require registration with a VoIP service provider.
Check with your service provider for the specific features they offer, as service
packages and terms vary.
All VoIP services require TalkSwitch to be connected to a broadband Internet
gateway/router that must provide port forwarding for VoIP traffic. Routers
with UPnP are recommended.
