Advantages of SIP Termination over PRI

IQ Infotech is a premium provider of SIP Termination Services around the world. SIP offers so many advantages over traditional PRI (Primary Rate Interface). PRI used to represent PSTN (public switched telephone network) but now it is becoming obsolete as more and more businesses have starting upgrading to SIP Termination.

SIP is becoming more and more successful and popular because it provides substantial cost savings by eliminating the need of expensive PRIs and local PSTN gateways. SIP is also very flexible and can easy scale to meet the new requirements of small or large companies. Due to these advantages SIP is taking the place of PRI very fast.

Difference between PRI and SIP

PRI is a digital circuit that provides 23 channels and one signaling channel. PRI connects directly to the PSTN but requires expensive hardware and therefore not very popular for the today’s dynamic businesses.

Using SIP trunks the calls are transmitted over the internet and can be scaled up in increments upto very high levels. SIP requires no hardware hence it provides businesses very cost effective, scalable and reliable data and business telephony system.

Here we are discussing some of the advantages of SIP Termination.

SIP Termination provides Virtual Connection

PRI creates physical connection which requires each circuit connected physically via cables and using expensive hardware while SIP connections are like virtual connections. SIP termination is only dependent on the bandwidth available thus gives much more flexibility.

SIP Trunks are Scalable

If you are using PRI then scaling is not easy as you have to install new circuits and add new hardware while if you are using SIP Trunks then you can easily scale up or down using simple to use web based admin tool. Thus in SIP within minutes or hours you can add as much capacity as you want as per your new requirement.

SIP Reduce your communication cost by upto 50-80%

In PRI cost depends on the number of channels you are using as new channels and hardware increases the cost while SIP doesn’t involve any such cost. Hence using SIP you can save a lot in your communication cost by upto 50-80%

Capacity planning and management is very easy in SIP

In PRI, if you want to increase the capacity then one must plan it many weeks in advance because it takes long time to procure the hardware and install new channels while if you want to increase capacity in SIP it is as simple as changing settings in web based admin tool. In SIP you need to manage only single network. SIP trunks can also be grouped at single company location or shares in multiple locations of company and also one single bill will come for all offices across the world which is much easier to manage.

SIP is Reliable in case of disaster

In PRI forwarding calls to other location in event of some disaster is complex and expensive while in SIP technology it is very easy to forward calls to other locations if some natural disaster occurs at one location.

As we have just discussed SIP Technology is much more cost effective, flexible, scalable, reliable and easy to manage.
