SIP Trunking

Elastic SIP trunking that scales with your call volume

Replace rigid PRI circuits with software-defined trunks that burst on demand, fail over between regions automatically and bill only for what you actually use. Provisioned in minutes through the portal or the API.

Capabilities

What ships with every Telecorenetwork trunk

Not an upsell list — these are defaults on every trunk we provision, from a 10-channel branch office to a 5,000-channel contact centre.

Instant elastic bursting

Request additional concurrent channels through the portal or API and have them live in under two seconds. Seasonal peaks and marketing campaigns stop being capacity-planning exercises.

Automatic dual-region failover

Each trunk is anchored in a primary PoP with a hot standby in a second region. If the primary degrades, sessions re-anchor in under 400 milliseconds — usually before an agent notices.

Encrypted by default

TLS 1.3 signalling and SRTP media on every trunk with no premium tier. IP authentication, digest registration or mutual TLS, whichever fits your session border controller.

Intelligent least-cost routing

Live route scoring on MOS, ASR and ACD. Underperforming carriers are demoted automatically rather than after a quarterly review.

Codec flexibility with transcoding

OPUS, G.711 A-law and µ-law, G.729 and G.722 with edge transcoding, so you can run HD internally and hand off narrowband to the PSTN without extra hardware.

Real-time analytics and CDR streaming

Per-call MOS, jitter, packet loss and post-dial delay in the portal, with CDRs streamed to your data warehouse over webhook or S3 within 30 seconds of hangup.

Business Impact

The commercial case for retiring your PRIs

A 23-channel PRI costs the same whether you use one channel or all twenty-three, and adding the twenty-fourth means ordering an entire second circuit. SIP trunking removes that step function from your capacity planning and, typically, 30–50% from your monthly voice spend.

  • Pay for concurrent channels actually in use rather than pre-provisioned circuit blocks
  • Consolidate every site onto one trunk group with a single, auditable invoice
  • Eliminate site-level ISDN maintenance contracts and legacy gateway hardware refreshes
  • Keep business continuity through outages by re-routing to mobile or a secondary site instantly
  • Add a new office in a new country in days rather than the eight-week circuit lead time
Design my trunk

30–50% lower spend

Typical saving when replacing PRI or legacy hosted trunks, before international rate improvements.

Same-day activation

Most trunks are live within a business day; complex multi-site builds within two weeks.

Fraud caps included

Per-trunk spend ceilings and destination allow-lists configured at provisioning.

Named voice engineer

Enterprise accounts get a named engineer through migration, not a rotating queue.

How It Works

From first call to full cutover

A structured migration that keeps your existing service running until every site is verified.

01

Architecture review

We map your current sites, PBXs, codecs, number ranges and peak concurrency, then produce a written design with capacity and failover recommendations.

02

Sandbox trunk

You receive a free test trunk with 500 minutes. Register your PBX, run interop tests and validate call quality against your own handsets.

03

Parallel run

Production trunks are provisioned alongside your legacy circuits. Outbound moves first, then inbound number ranges port in scheduled batches.

04

Cutover and optimise

Legacy circuits are decommissioned once every range is verified. We then tune routing, codecs and capacity based on 30 days of real traffic.

Frequently Asked

SIP trunking questions, answered plainly

Still unsure? Our voice architects answer technical questions directly — no gatekeeping through sales.

The usual rule of thumb is one channel per three to four concurrent users for a general office, and one per active agent plus 20% headroom for a contact centre. But rules of thumb are a poor substitute for data.

If you can export call records from your current system, we will analyse your busiest hour across the last 90 days and size the trunk against measured peak concurrency rather than a guess. With elastic bursting enabled, under-sizing is also far less punishing than it was on PRI.

Yes. Number portability is supported across every market we operate in, and porting is included at no charge for standard geographic and toll-free ranges.

We run ports as parallel migrations: your new trunk is live and tested before any range moves, and ranges are ported in scheduled batches so a single problematic number cannot delay the whole project.

Almost certainly. We maintain validated interoperability profiles for more than 60 platforms including Asterisk, FreeSWITCH, 3CX, Avaya Aura, Cisco CUCM, Mitel MiVoice and Genesys.

If your platform is not on the list, our interop lab will test it during your free trial and publish a configuration guide specific to your version.

Budget roughly 85–100 kbps per concurrent call with G.711 including IP overhead, or around 40 kbps with OPUS at typical enterprise settings. A 50-channel trunk therefore needs about 5 Mbps of reliably prioritised bandwidth in each direction.

What matters more than raw capacity is jitter and queueing. We recommend DSCP EF marking for voice and a dedicated queue on the WAN edge; our onboarding engineers will review your QoS configuration as part of the architecture review.

Inbound calls automatically overflow to a pre-configured destination — a mobile number, a secondary site, a voicemail-to-email box or another trunk — triggered by loss of SIP OPTIONS response rather than a manual switch.

Enterprises with strict continuity requirements typically pair a primary broadband circuit with an LTE or secondary fibre path and let the trunk re-anchor to whichever is healthy.

Two models. Per-channel billing charges a flat monthly rate for concurrent capacity with unlimited inbound and bundled outbound minutes to your primary market. Per-minute billing charges only for connected traffic at published per-destination rates.

High-volume international traffic usually favours per-minute; predictable office telephony usually favours per-channel. We will model both against your actual call records before you sign anything.
