What Are the Advantages of Nextiva Trunking?

What does SIP Trunking entail?

 

SIP Trunking is a non-hosted service offered by Nextiva to set up communication between a local or enterprise PBX to Nextiva’s SIP Trunking server. This service gives the local PBX a connection to worldwide call routing through Nextiva’s infrastructure.

 


The Advantages of SIP Trunking include:

  • Low-cost Internet telephony solution – Nextiva currently offers highly affordable and competitive rates to customers looking for a SIP Trunking service that meets their needs. Contact a Nextiva Account Executive to get information or a quote regarding Nextiva SIP Trunking. Call 1-800-799-0600 or email [email protected]
  • Rapid return on investment – Typically, because costs of a “hosted” solution are higher due to the integration of features and services included within the hosted platform, SIP Trunking offers a lower cost per-line, necessary to make and receive phone calls while maintaining the features or services included within your local PBX.
  • Retain your existing equipment, including local PBX and phone devices – If you currently have equipment, including a PBX and phone system, that was in-use with another provider, it’s very likely that PBX can connect to Nextiva’s SIP Trunking service simply by entering Nextiva’s registration string and pointing the device to Nextiva’s servers.
  • Easily managed Nextiva Trunking Portal – Nextiva’s online Trunking Portal makes it easy to manage your phone numbers, Caller ID, add multiple PBX options, review your call history, set forwarding fail-overs and establish E911 options for multiple sites.
  • International calling – Nextiva offers competitive pricing on international dialing options.
  • Integrate specific features applicable to your existing PBX – If your PBX has unique features that are important to your business, you can continue to utilize those features and applications through your own local PBX while maintaining the integrity of call routing using the Nextiva SIP Trunking service.
  • Redundancy with multiple service providers – While most businesses are concerned about “uptime,” Nextiva SIP Trunking is an excellent choice for redundancy, or “fail-over,” to ensure that your local PBX can connect to another SIP Service in the event of outage or downtime with another provider.

 

What Systems are Compatible with Nextiva Trunking?

Nextiva can host a variety of different SIP-capable PBX systems. Nextiva cannot directly support any analog-based PBX systems, however, we do support a variety of Analog Telephone Adapters (ATAs). Below, we have included a list of recommended PBX systems known to work with the Nextiva Service.


With any PBX platform, it is necessary to have a local IT Administrator capable of registering, connecting, and configuring the PBX system to Nextiva’s Trunking service. If you are unable to find an IT Administrator we recommend you inquire about our hosted PBX services as our Technical Support team is thoroughly trained in these services.

 

Note: Due to the multitude of available PBX systems capable of connecting to Nextiva’s SIP trunking service, our technical support is limited in nature to any features, setup or information relevant to ensure a fully functional PBX. Nextiva has information that will help you register your local PBX to our SIP service. Any questions regarding the functionality of the PBX would be better directed to the manufacturer of the PBX.
