How $75.00 A Month Can Help Disaster Proof Your Telecommunications Network!



Now more than ever, businesses are looking for affordable ways to build disaster recovery options into their telecommunications networks. For those who utilize VoIP technology there is a great way to build redundancy into your system. For those who are still using old technology, this is yet another reason to upgrade your phone system.

IPitomy's SIP trunking packages now allow businesses to add in 10 DID phone numbers, burstable to 20 incoming, with 5000 minutes for just $75.00 a month. This means that your business can continue to use traditional analog lines or a T1/PRI on one carrier and add in additional SIP lines on another. Many carriers can automatically forward a company's main number when the D channel on the their T1/PRI goes down. If this happens you can have your main number forward over to your SIP trunks, which ride over the Internet. You can have the SIP trunks programmed to ring anywhere on your phone system as the PRI number is forwarded to an existing number on the SIP trunks. You can even have the SIP DIDs ring to cell phones if needed. This gives you versatility as to call routing should an outage occur. For those without an automatic failover option, you can call your carrier and have them manually forward your numbers to your SIP trunks until the outage is corrected.

The burstability feature allows a business to have twice as many incoming calls as they have SIP DID lines. So for example, on this 10 DID line package, when incoming call traffic increases, you can have up to 20 calls coming into your business at once. This is a great option for disaster recovery since you can use your 10 SIP trunks for normal outbound local calls for example, and if the need arises you can move traffic off of your PRI onto your SIP trunks. This gives you the capacity to route twice as many incoming calls.

For those businesses not utilizing SIP trunks, this basic SIP trunk package gives them incentive to add this option into their telecommunications platform. For those looking to utilize SIP for more than just disaster recovery, there are many other packages to choose from to accommodate your needs. SIP trunks can cut monthly costs by as much as 50%! If you are not utilizing VoIP technology yet, check out the IPitomy IP-PBX. The money you save with SIP trunks can pay for your new phone system!
