SIP Trunking is quite a hot topic and clearly on a growth path, with an ever-increasing number of service providers offering hosted communications solutions for subscribers looking to reduce costs and add the capabilities that SIP Trunking can offer. This follows the general trend to “cloud” services, allowing customers to rent the services they need, when they need them. BroadSoft BroadWorks software suite is widely recognized by service providers around the globe as a premium foundation for their hosted communications services environment.

BroadSoft compatible media gateways and MSBGs from AudioCodes enable SIP Trunking services, providing a secure point of demarcation for the carrier and allowing subscribers to utilize existing TDM equipment including PBXs, IVR systems, Contact Centers or other legacy equipment without expensive upgrades

In addition, AudioCodes Mediant High-Availability gateways are a highly reliable and scalable solution used to interconnect the BroadSoft-based network to the PSTN.  Supporting T1/E1, T3/DS3 or OC3 physical interfaces, Mediant gateway are compatible with a wide range of PSTN switches and protocols.

BroadSoft and AudioCodes have worked closely together to simplify the deployment of hosted services for SMB/SME, tightly integrating AudioCodes products into the BroadSoft BroadWorks environment.
