SIP Phone Boosts Revenue Growth

/0 Comments/in /by

A new report on the growth of global business in terms of revenue earning shows a sharp upward trend because of SIP phone. SIP trunking is undoubtedly bringing in revenue growth to its users. More and more business organizations are implementing SIP trunking along with hosted PBX solutions, for supporting their VoIP as well as unified communication services.

SIP Phone Enables Growth 2013 Through 2016

The report revealed that during the first half of 2013, the first signs of growth – about 3 percent – were witnessed for the first time. Since then, it has been on a steady rise. In fact, during the last quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016, the hosted PBX/UC backed by SIP phone has been considered to be the fastest growing sector in VoIP services. This is due to the fact that more and more business organizations and larger business enterprises are opting for hosted solutions, as a substitute of the on-premises counterparts they have.

Wider Acceptance across All Business

Experts believe VoIP service market has been on the rise since the first half of 2013. If this growth is dissected, it will be seen that the residential or domestic VoIP services constitute the majority of the revenues. However, the growth is being instigated by business services, as SIP phone coupled with the cloud based unified communications continues expanding. It marches on to find a much broader and more elaborate and wider adoption with enterprises of all possible sizes and scales.

SIP Phone Will Propel Growth in 2017 And On

With enterprises helping in this growth, the study also projected that the global businesses and VoIP services will grow at a 7 percent compounded annual rate during the period 2012 to 2017. We are in the midst of this trend right now. This is in contrast to the fact that the previous periods prior to 2007 and then in the year 2010 recorded a mere 3% CAGR for the residential complexes and offices run from home.

It can well be seen that ever since the concept of VoIP technology was introduced and SIP trunking came into being, businesses with VoIP have been earning large revenue though its use and this seems to be continuing till now.

Other Factors

One other thing that helps businesses other than these factors in increasing revenues is the bandwidth that is delivered by service providers. Other factors include capacity of the individual networks, presence of national long distance and international calls, call recording, auto attendants, connection to the VoIP networks and so on.

While all these value added features get more and more flexible, the most critical as well as most important of all these factors is the VoIP network. Thus, while all these value added features and other unique properties go a long way in helping the VoIP based businesses, it is the SIP phone and SIP trunking services that help them to earn the most revenues day in and day out.

Expectations From Hosted PBX And SIP Trunking

/0 Comments/in , /by

As trends and things stand now, it seems that the global market for hosted PBX technology and SIP trunking is likely to continue growing.

Rapid implementation of SIP trunking and hosted PBX solutions in the business organizations support unified communication services. This has actually given this expectation a massive shot in the arm.

Studies conducted by various research bureaus have clearly shown a substantial increase in revenue from residential as well as commercial sectors since the first half of 2013. Since then, this sector has seen a substantial growth. Both hosted PBX and SIP trunking has been noted as the fastest growing and most promising segments amongst VoIP based services. This, as per experts, is mainly due to the fact that business houses, corporate and large enterprises prefer to opt for hosted solutions.

All the experts who are dealing with this subject have a unified opinion in this regard. Hosted PBX and SIP Trunking are on the very right track and they expect that residential VoIP is likely to constitute the majority of revenue. However, till now the growth has mainly been fuelled by business services such as cloud based unified communication and SIP trunking. These two are expected to expand further and find broader adoption with business enterprises of every size and scale.

With all enterprises thriving hard for a holistic growth, the expectation for global business oriented VoIP service revenue is set to grow at around 7% CAGR over the next few years.

All this is the scenario from the perspective of the large scale enterprises and the domestic sector. The perspective of small scale enterprises is no push over as well. With people’s concern over security issues on a steady rise, even small scale companies are putting more emphasis on Hosted PBX and SIP Trunking technology services. This trend is expected to go up in the coming days.

The concern of people over security is on a steady rise. Pushed by the failure of security in a number of high profile corporate organizations, small scale companies are investing upon Hosted PBX and SIP Trunking technology for ensuring their own safety and security. In fact, going by the trends, safety and security is, and likely to be, the most pivotal contributing reason why Hosted PBX and SIP Trunking technology is being considered the best option.

However, quite expectedly and not surprisingly, though, quality or clarity of the service provided along with the most favorable pricing structure continues to round out the top three expectations. As expected, though, pricing is in fact on a downslide in terms of importance, and this trend indicates a more familiar expectation that any VoIP based communication system is going to be affordable than a conventional, physical telephone system.

SIP Trunking Benefits Business

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

SIP TrunkingSession Initiation Protocol (SIP) Trunking helps Internet Telephony Service Providers (ITSPs) to deliver telephone services and several unified communications to customers that are equipped with SIP-based private branch exchange (IP-PBX) and facilities that support Unified Communications.

Of late, all the major as well as medium scale business houses are vying for SIP Trunking as this new technology is a major trendsetter in the world of telecommunication and easily affordable. Here are 6 ways in which this new technology benefits today’s business fraternity. First let us look at three main reasons for the success of SIP.

  • SIP Trunking makes it much easier for the businesses to deliver as well as manage cloud communications services, and migrate from the conventional PSTN to VoIP technology.
  • SIP Trunking require negligible CAPEX requirement. This means, businesses can continue using the same features that they receive with their local PBX.
  • SIP Trunks are delivered over IP and hence, they are available wherever there is broadband service. With the more and more availability of broadband, an increasing number of are coming up to enjoy the privileges of SIP Trunking.

Now let us discuss the 6 ways in which SIP Trunking can help a business.

(1) Faster Growth:

By using effective networking to combine data and voice, SIP Trunk is unparalleled when it comes to connecting distantly located businesses to expand and help a company to expand its geographic voice and the core data system. Most importantly, in doing so, the technology can dramatically curtail the cost of making and taking overseas calls.

(2) Almost Infinite Scalability

Be it a single shop business or a larger SMB, SIP Trunking technology represents absolute freedom from expensive infrastructure and the so called ‘buying for the future’ capital expenditure. Businesses can come up with a minimal setup depending upon the requirement and then expand it as and when the business grows, to match the needs – and the entire process is extremely simple.

(3) Save 40% On ISDN or Other Systems

As per experts, the average savings that companies around the world have enjoyed because of using SIP Trunking technology is whopping 30%-60%. This figure is really awe-inspiring, so far as PBX investment by a company is concerned, for the purpose of maintaining its IP infrastructure and acquiring the least equipment required to convert the existing system to SIP Trunking. It is here, where the real cost savings start.

(4) Get Rid of Missed Calls

This helps companies to get rid of issues of missed calls, especially when an employee is in a meeting, on move, or is working in a remote place. In these situations, their calls are automatically diverted or routed to their mobile phones. The same can be done with a call that has landed in a line that is busy or in an office that has closed for the day. This ensures that businesses never miss any customer simply because they were unable to receive a call, whatever be the reason behind that.

(5) More Efficiency in Communications

This new technology not only streamlines all the communication channels, it opens up a lot of communication options, even when an employee is working remotely or is on the move. For instance, even when an employee is working remotely, the individual has the option of using voice calls, instant messaging, video conferencing, and the likes to get in touch with a customer, irrespective of his location and regardless of the time of day or night. So virtually, businesses can be in touch with their customers 24×7, if they feel like.

(6) Quick ROI

The Return on Investment is almost instantaneous. Businesses generally start seeing the change within 6 months of installing SIP Trunking. Once the technology is installed, there is no need to make a recurrent payment for the equipment or service that is futuristic at present. It becomes possible for businesses to maximize existing Internet bandwidth by simply adding voice traffic to the existing service. Last but not the least; they can significantly reduce your monthly telephone bills.
