BeyondVoice with SIP
Since 2005, Cbeyond has led the charge into SIPconnect services for small businesses. Working with industry leaders to develop a SIP trunking service for small businesses, Cbeyond and this team formed a working group which authored an overall specification for SIP trunking. As a result of this collaboration, customers may interconnect leading IP PBXs and Cbeyond's BeyondVoice through a recognized standard based approach to SIP trunking services.
"An industry standards-based approach to SIP trunking, such as SIPconnect, is an essential condition for widespread adoption by both IP PBX vendors and service providers. Cbeyond, as the first VoIP service provider to embrace SIPconnect and one of the first to launch a successful SIP trunking service, is a true pioneer of this technology. There is no other competing SIP trunking specification."
— Marc Robins, chief evangelism officer at RCG
Features & Benefits
BeyondVoice with SIPconnect helps you serve your customers more efficiently while upgrading quality and reducing costs:
- DIDs, or Direct Inward Dial numbers, let callers connect directly with an employee without the hassle of going through a receptionist, or an auto attendant.
- IP telephony bypasses traditional gateways, saving equipment costs.
- With 100% end-to-end IP connectivity, you avoid introducing latency due to legacy gateways — thus improving overall voice quality.
- Rich feature support means you can enjoy the full suite of BeyondVoice services, including automatic call forwarding in the unlikely event of loss of communication with the premise-based phone system.
- Future-proof your IP telephony investment so you can take advantage of rich new features available only for Cbeyond’s SIPconnect customers, as Cbeyond continues to innovate using this next generation technology.
- Only Cbeyond offers built-in business grade analog ports for fax machines, analog modem credit card readers and other devices which would otherwise require expensive analog gateways.
SIPconnect Compliant is a certification mark that can only be used by companies that produce products and services that comply with the mandatory requirements of the SIPconnect specification published by the SIP Forum. Cbeyond was among the six companies that launched this new program. In fact, Cbeyond has the honor of serving on the SIPconnect certification committee that reviews the applications of new companies seeking the status of SIPconnect Compliant.
Whether you are a service provider, PBX manufacturer, an IP PBX reseller, a company that produces ancillary SIP trunking products or services, or a customer, you can be confident about interoperability when you see the SIPconnect Compliant mark.
