What are SIP trunks?
SIP trunking is an Internet telephony service that allows an IP telephone exchange (PBX) to be connected to an IP telephone service provider (ITSP) over the Internet. This connection enables both the making and receiving of calls to and from the public switched telephone network (PSTN) or any device compatible with the SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) protocol.
The SIP protocol is a communications standard that facilitates the initiation, modification and termination of multimedia sessions between participants. Unlike other protocols, SIP negotiates the parameters of the communication, while the actual content is managed through complementary protocols such as RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol).
SIP trunks differ from SIP lines primarily in their ability to handle multiple simultaneous calls, making them ideal for businesses. These connections offer advantages such as cost reduction by eliminating physical lines, scalability to adjust the number of lines according to needs, mobility to use Internet-connected devices, integration of various multimedia services and an improvement in the quality of communication.
In short, SIP trunks allow an efficient and flexible connection between a company’s IP PBX and the public telephone network, optimizing call management and communication resources.

What are SIP Lines?
A SIP line, also known as a SIP trunk or SIP channel, is a virtual connection designed for the transmission of voice, video and other multimedia services over the Internet, using the SIP (Session Initiation Protocol).
SIP is a specific protocol used for the establishment of calls betweenVoIP telephonylike those offered by Ringover, and this technology also serves as a link between a company’s IP-based communications system and the traditional public switched telephone network (PSTN).

Benefits of SIP Lines
As you can imagine, implementing SIP lines brings with it multiple advantages for organizations looking to obtain abusiness communication softwareeffective, safe and at a low cost. Among these benefits we highlight:
Cost savings: Using the Internet for calls eliminates the costs associated with installing and maintaining physical lines, as well as the per-minute or per-call rates of traditional providers. Plans from SIP line providers are often more competitive and flexible.
Scalability: The independence of physical lines allows the number of SIP lines needed to be adjusted according to demand, facilitating adaptation to changes in call volume and business growth.
Mobility: By operating over the Internet, SIP lines can be used from any device with a SIP application installed, such asIP phones, computers, tablets or smartphones, offering the possibility of communicating from anywhere.
