Integra Telecom (News - Alert), a provider of fiber-based, business-grade networking, communications and cloud solutions, announced that its Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Trunking services are now interoperable with Toshiba’s (News - Alert) family of Strata CIX(TM) IP business telephone systems.

Integra explained that its SIP Solutions are flexible, providing businesses dynamic bandwidth allocation with high-bandwidth options up to 30 Mbps. They blend multiple voice and data options on a single connection and make use of the company’s own fiber-based voice and data network.

According to Toshiba, the Strata CIX IP business telephone systems provide one integrated system for all of a client’s office locations; share capabilities throughout the enterprise; and save money by avoiding long-distance charges between locations.

The interoperability certification acknowledged that Toshiba’s voice products are compatible with Integra’s SIP Trunking. The interoperability certification spans the full family of Toshiba's Strata CIX IP telephone systems, which includes CIX40, CIX100, CIX200, CIX670 and CIX1200 models.

Integra asserted that the certification represents another milestone for Integra as it continues building its portfolio of SIP Trunking services. By working closely with Toshiba dealers and organizations utilizing these phone systems, Integra is well-positioned to continue to deliver enhanced features to business customers.

Officials with Toshiba remarked that the new interoperability certification benefits users of Toshiba's Strata CIX IP business telephone systems by allowing them to use Integra Telecom's robust products and services, including SIP Trunking. This certification reinforces the seamless nature of Toshiba's products with Integra's services, providing reassurance to enterprise-level customers about the quality and reliability of their selected telephone equipment and service.

The companies added that the certification also enables Integra to deliver a number of benefits to business customers, including: efficient use of bandwidth by combining voice and data networks onto a single service; dynamic bandwidth allocation; and maximizing capacity through multiple compression options that place more calls over the same bandwidth.
