TelePacific Extends SIP-Based Telephony, IP PBX Products
By TelePacific Communications (News - Alert) announced today that it’s extended its session initiation protocol-based product line, “SmartVoice”. The company says it’s been offering SIP-based trunking services since February 2007.
While the existing SmartVoice SIP
trunk services provide traditional PRI and CAS network connections, the new SIP handoff will allow customers to plug the circuit directly into their SIP-enabled PBX, which will avoid the need for additional capital expenditures, company officials say.

David Zahn, TelePacific’s vice president of marketing, said that SIP, a robust IP telephony call control protocol, requires that service providers with SIP-based services develop interoperability practices specific to each type of IP PBX (News - Alert) model. He added that TelePacific performs extensive interoperability testing in the lab and in the field before certifying a specific IP PBX model.
TelePacific installed their first SIP Network Connection service in partnership with Allworx (News - Alert), according to the company. Allworx, a small business phone and network solutions company offers award winning portfolio of SMB products, for companies up to 100 users per site, TelePacific officials say.
“The Allworx team was very responsive and easy to work with through the certification process,” Zahn said.
TelePacific has scheduled additional manufacturer models for field deployment in the third quarter of 2008.
Headquartered in Los Angeles, TelePacific Communications serves customers throughout California and Nevada.
