Why SIP Trunking?
Today, you are at a competitive disadvantage if you need to include your TDM gateway equipment in the quote since so many IP PBXs are interoperable with the BeyondVoice with SIPconnect service and do not require that additional equipment. Also, removing the TDM gateway removes 80ms of latency. Since latency aggregates and becomes audible at approximately 300ms, you are decreasing the chance of receiving a call from a dissatisfied customer.
Why Cbeyond?
- You are working with the company that has driven the SIP trunking standard.
- You maintain the equipment sale and relationship with customer, as opposed to when service providers sell hosted PBX and/or premise-based PBXs themselves.
- As the most experienced SIP trunking service provider in the industry, Cbeyond is in the best position to provide you resources and training.
- As with its other interfaces, Cbeyond does not allow traffic that is marked as voice to travel over the public Internet. Your customers are getting business grade voice service on Cbeyond's privately managed network with Quality of Service (QOS). Do not take the chance of customers calling due to dissatisfaction with voice quality and possibly returning your IP PBX because they misinterpret the source of the poor voice quality when really it is just the fact that their voice traffic is traveling over the public Internet.
How does Cbeyond Help?
Cbeyond offers the following tools and resources to help you be successful at selling an IP PBX with its BeyondVoice with SIPconnect service:
- A free VAR SIPconnect Training course every month in each of the sales branches so you can benefit from its three years of experience on how to have smooth and efficient installs.
- Once you complete the course, you will get access to Cbeyond’s SIPconnect Partner Portal, which has configuration guides, educational documents, co-marketing material, and other tools to help make you be successful with both selling and installing the BeyondVoice with SIPconnect service.
- The Cbeyond design engineer in your market will send you a site survey when you make a SIPconnect sale. Once you return the site survey, the design engineer will be able to offer any needed direction to make sure you are well positioned to have a successful install based on our extensive knowledge of the challenges our partners have faced in the past.
- A VoIP LAN assessment tool that you can use to make sure the customer premise is ready for the service to be activated.
- Using Cbeyond’s VoIP LAN assessment tool, if you find your customer’s LAN is experiencing common Network Address Translation (NAT) issues, because so many firewalls in production are not truly SIP-aware, Cbeyond can offer you its hosted NAT traversal service that it enables via its Session Border Controllers.
