SIP doesn’t equal SIP
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is fast becoming the standard term bandied around in the Telecoms Industry for the replacement of traditional TDM services with business IP based solutions.

SIP however is not a standard solution in the way that ISDN has been deployed in the UK over the past few years.

SIP is defined in a number of Requests for Comment (RFCs) documents, and suppliers of SIP equipment and SIP Network services may have interpreted and deployed their solutions in a number of different ways.

Summary is that SIP is not a standard, and connecting SIP devices to a SIP Network is not necessarily “Plug and Play”.

When looking to connect an IPPBX or SIP Gateway to a SIP service provider you should ensure that the device has been compatibility tested with the Service Providers network and that all service features are fully supported.
