SIPxchange�The IP PBX Made with SIP Trunking in Mind
Are you wondering whether your PBX supports SIP trunking services? SIPxchange does! SIPxchange�the second generation SIP standards-based IP PBX designed from the ground up with ease of use, robustness, and SIP trunking in mind�is available in open source and as a fully supported product from Pingtel Corp. We know SIP well, as we were there in the beginning to write important parts of the standard and continue to do so today.
Guaranteed to Work
Pingtel, in cooperation with BandTel and Ingate, have tested and certified the SIPxchange solution, enabling you to profit from the benefits of BandTel's SIP trunking offer without the usual risks. With our partner Ingate, Pingtel supports complex multi-party call flows across SIP trunks�and yes, with SIPxchange you can transfer received calls over a SIP trunk. Pingtel also features a support team that is fully trained and available around the clock to help you.
Superior Voice Quality
As a second generation SIP IP PBX system, sipXecs offers superior voice quality by peer-to-peer routing of the media stream on the most direct route possible, without requiring it to go through the IP PBX call controller. The result is superior voice quality, plain and simple. And for maximum voice quality, sipXecs IP PBX supports Polycom's High-Definition Voice (HD Voice) between supported end-points.
Securing your Enterprise with Ingate
Why do we propose using an Ingate SIParator? Because punching holes into your firewall would compromise the security of your enterprise. The Ingate SIParator is the most versatile, secure, and cost-effective solution we are aware of that works every time. It handles complex call flows and enables all the advanced features between SIPxchange and the BandTel SIP trunking service.
Automatic Failover
The SIPxchange system permits the mixing and matching of SIP trunks with traditional PSTN trunks, allowing for smooth and low risk migration. Least cost routing and automatic failover in the event that a gateway or trunk is unavailable or busy are part of the standard offering.
High Scalability
There is no limit, nor extra charge associated with the amount of trunks or gateways connected to SIPxchange or how many simultaneous calls can be active in the system. SIPxchange has been successfully deployed for 15 users all the way up to over 5,000 users in one system. The same powerful software that backs large deployments is available to SMBs at a small enterprise price.
Phone Choices
SIPxchange is the only IP PBX system that allows you to perform Hardware and Interoperability without compromising ease of use and manageability. Phones from leading manufacturers such as Polycom, Snom, Cisco, Grandstream, Hitachi, and others are plug & play managed, certified, and supported by Pingtel. You can even mix-and-match phones from different manufacturers to fit your needs.
Branch Office Support
Need VoIP in more than one office? No problem. The SIPxchange system is ideally suited for multi-location deployments. While operating as one single system, components�including gateways�can be distributed to fit your needs.
E911 Emergency Call Handling
Want to make sure that emergency calls are routed on the most direct path possible? SIPxchange provides special routing�including the deployment of dedicated emergency gateways�for the most secure E911 call handling.
System Redundancy
Even SIPxchange's smallest systems offer full redundancy of the call control system. Spare servers don't just idle, but share the load under normal operating conditions. If one fails, you won't even notice as the other takes over.
