As you are probably aware, your clients are hearing more and more of the buzz around SIP (Session Initiated Protocol) and SIP Trunking as the hot communications solution. However, there are many who are confused by the many different approaches to the technology and are struggling to figure out how to make SIP Trunking work in their infrastructure.

So, we decided to clarify SIP and SIP Trunking in an exclusive 5-part series of whitepapers that are available absolutely free.
To be sure you receive each of these five important whitepapers, you can register at the following site: http://smoothstone.web4.hubspot.com/smoothstone_whitepaper/.

The first part was recently published, entitled SIP in the Larger Context of the Internet Protocol Suite. This paper lays the groundwork for all the papers that follow, introducing the Internet, its technologies, and the evolution from a data-centric Internet to real-time-centric transport.

Future whitepapers in the series will cover:

  • Understanding SIP: We explore the key concepts and components of the SIP protocol, such as user agents, clients, servers, etc., and also look at some of the industry initiatives, such as the SIP Forum and SIP Connect, that are furthering this technology.
  • Components of a SIP-based Architecture: This paper considers the migration that has occurred in the last few years from the TDM world to IP, and the operation of the various devices that comprise a SIP-based network, including IP-PBXs, softswitches, and session border controllers.
  • Concepts of SIP Trunking: This covers the issues that must be considered when moving to SIP trunks, including PSTN and ISP access, call routing, bandwidth management and QoS, plus firewalls and security.
  • Managing the SIP Network: In which we discuss the deployment, configuration, implementation and longer-term issues surrounding a next-generation telephony system, including the importance of built-in network management tools.

We hope that you and your clients will not only find these papers helpful in better understanding the power of SIP and SIP Trunking, but also allow you to make their transition to IP communications easier.
