What is SIP Trunking?
SIP trunking uses VoIP to move your Private Branch Exchange (PBX) system’s call traffic over an internet connection. This way, your PBX connects with a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) without traditional phone lines. No more Primary Rate Interface (PRI) or analog lines!
As for a SIP trunk…
A SIP trunk is a phone line that uses the SIP protocol. And so, a VoIP service provider like CCG Connect can connect one or more channels to your in-house PBX.

Hosted PBX vs. SIP trunking – what’s the difference?
Hosted PBX
- Lower hardware costs since all you need are IP phones, routers, and high-speed internet.

- Hosted PBX services let you add new phone lines in a few steps.
- Your teams can access these phone lines from anywhere in the world.
- With an online admin portal and easy-to-use features, you don’t need an IT team.
- Requires minimal maintenance.
On-premise PBX + SIP Trunking
- Needs on-site IP PBX servers and a SIP trunking service like CCG Connect. Higher upfront capital expenditure.
- SIP trunking charges may be per minute or channel.
- SIP trunking with traditional PBX may need more on-premise servers.
- Traditional phones need a LAN connection to the IP PBX.
- An IT staff member is critical to maintain these on-premise PBX systems.
- Needs ongoing maintenance.
