Ideal for businesses and call centres with more than 90 voice channels, Voice over Ethernet provides 99.9% service availability, scalability and compatibility as well as the ability to add other next generation technologies over our future-proofed Next Generation Network (NGN).

Voice over Ethernet is an alternative solution if you have outgrown your ISDN30 solution or are looking for a more cost-effective and longer term alternative.

Ideal if you…

  • Want to choose the outbound display number

Voice over Ethernet is an end-to-end managed solution that provides a cost-efficient and future-proof way to connect your business telephone system to the PSTN, removing the need for costly ISDN30 channels.

The service has been designed to deliver the levels of availability, performance, security, future interoperability, and overall service quality that you need from the communications systems that support your everyday business.

How it works…

  • Voice over Ethernet is delivered over TalkTalk Business’s Next Generation Network – the largest IP network in the UK.
  • Telephone calls are delivered to and from a businesses telephone system using SIP Trunks over an 100Mbps point-to-point Ethernet service over our own network.
  • This high-capacity connection delivers up to 750 simultaneous inbound and outbound calls with a choice of outbound presentation number.
  • Our SIP Trunks have been tested and are compatible with the leading providers of IP Telephone Systems with SIP capability, ISDN Cards and TDM Telephone Systems.
  • An additional Ethernet fibre can be installed for increased resilience, increasing availability to 99.99%.
  • Voice channels can be scaled up or down according to seasonal demand.
  • The solution and any hardware is fully managed by TalkTalk Business so you will always have one point of contact, this includes supplied CPE including Session Border Controller security and 24/7 monitoring.

Voice over Ethernet offers a range of benefits:

Lower cost telephony

Delivering an end-to-end solution using our own network, as well as having the largest Ethernet footprint in the UK, allows us to pass significant cost savings on to your business.

Because Voice over Ethernet (using SIP technology) is a scalable solution, you only ever pay for what you use, without the need to purchase any additional hardware, e.g. ISDN30 cards.

Peace of mind

Our specialist design team will ensure the service provides the capacity and resiliency your business demands. Our service delivery managers will work with you to arrange a suitable date for a survey, ensuring punctual delivery and installation of a managed network termination device, which can be remotely accessed for diagnostics. TalkTalk Business provides the full solution, which means if there is a problem you only have one supplier to call.

It's reliable

Our SIP service uses a fibre-based service which provides significantly more reliability than other telephony services. Our standard SLA provides 99.9% availability and our optional resilient service 99.99%.

It's managed fully

Right from day one, our dedicated team of experts at TalkTalk Business will work with you to design a service around your specific needs and our network management centre provides around the clock service monitoring.

At TalkTalk Business, you can be reassured that your business will always receive a fast and efficient support service.

Our service has been designed to adapt to your changing business needs – which is why it is totally scalable, meaning voice channels can be quickly and easily switched on or off to manage busy periods at certain times of the year.

Even moving your business to a new area is easy with TalkTalk Business. Take your numbers with you, including the area code as well as using a number of your choice for making outbound calls (the number displayed to the recipient) – one of the many advantages of using SIP technology for voice.
