Sangoma Gateway Branch Offices Example
In the branch office scenario shown in the above image, a company has made investments in new teams and office locations. It is typical for branch offices to have disparate phones systems or no phone system at all. This often creates an inefficient and costly communications system between the main office and branch offices. One way to overcome the limitations of the disparate systems is to outfit the remote offices with IP proxies and SIP phones providing each branch office with the following:
- Extension-to-extension dialing – using this configuration it is possible to provide, or preserve, four-digit dialing between extensions
- Utilisation of corporate trunks and DIDs – branch offices can use corporate trunks for both inbound and outbound calls, saving trunk costs and proving the branch office with an appearance of corporate unity
- Local trunk connectivity – In some industries, a local number is extremely important to customers. Using Vega you can provide your customers with the ability to make and receive calls locally while being connected to headquarters
- Support for analog FAX and modems
The most efficient way to provide a solution that supports all these features is by using a gateway. Vega is the perfect choice.
