A new report from Light Reading’s VoIP Services Insider says that more network operators and enterprises are using SIP trunking as a way to lower expenses for IP networks.

“As enterprises and service providers increasingly seek ways to drive costs down and improve the quality of their networks, the implementation of SIP trunking will continue to increase,” says Denise Culver, research analyst with Light Reading’s VOIP Services Insider and author of the report. “The desire to save money will be the biggest driver. Following closely behind are the increasing demands for unified communications, as well as demands for improved voice and data services.”

However, some vendors remain concerned about security.

“Despite the continual growth of SIP trunking, vendors have their work cut out for them,” Culver said. “Many potential SIP trunking candidates are wary of the technology because of security issues, which is similar to any application that opens a network to the Internet. However, there are ways to maximize security.”
