Flexible Deployment: Equipment Manufacturers may choose to combine certain elements and still be compliant with the recommendation’s rules that govern those elements.


BeyondVoice with SIPconnect Network Layout

Cbeyond’s approach – a managed broadband connection: Maintain and route calls from a Router at the Customer Premise to our our

local trunking gateway No calls travel on the internet Any compliant combination of CPE elements (Proxy server/ PBX/Firewall)

may be used with BeyondVoice Non-compliant IP systems will work with a BeyondVoice package using

traditional TDM interfaces (i.e. PRI, analog loop start, etc) IP PBX peers to our network SIP server

With SIPconnect, an analog “on-ramp” for analog data devices is offered, since 1) not every IP PBX provides this and 2) Fax over SIP trunks is not a business-grade ready solution yet.
