SIP Trunking

Breakout into the All-IP Provider Network

ExperTeach Networking Logo

Classic PBX access (BRI and PRI) for the connection of a company to the public voice network will be a thing of the past in a few years, In the course of the migration to Voice over IP, all PBX accesses therefore have to be replaced by an SIP trunk. In addition to the pure scaling of such an access, numerous technical details have to be clarified in the single case and challenges be mastered. The SIP Trunking course introduces the different connection scenarios with and without Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) and discusses the corresponding pros and cons. Redundancy concepts are just as important as ensuring voice quality and the transfer of fax messages. The frame stipulations of SIP Connect 1.1 are explained, which are meant to provide a homogenization. Hands-on exercises round off the course and illustrate the contents.

Classroom training

Do you prefer the classic training method? A course in one of our Training Centers, with a competent trainer and the direct exchange between all course participants? Then you should book one of our classroom training dates!

Hybrid training

Hybrid training means that online participants can additionally attend a classroom course. The dynamics of a real seminar are maintained, and the online participants are able to benefit from that. Online participants of a hybrid course use a collaboration platform, such as WebEx Training Center or Saba Meeting. To do this, a PC with browser and Internet access is required, as well as a headset and ideally a Web cam. In the seminar room, we use specially developed and customized audio- and video-technologies. This makes sure that the communication between all persons involved works in a convenient and fault-free way.

Online training

You wish to attend a course in online mode? We offer you online course dates for this course topic. To attend these seminars, you need to have a PC with Internet access (minimum data rate 1Mbps), a headset when working via VoIP and optionally a camera.
