The world of business communications has been witnessing new challenges and demands with growing market pressures and expectations. Session Initiation Protocol (News - Alert) technology has evolved as a vital telecommunications infrastructure platform to allow the enterprises realize added benefits at much lower costs and complexity.

The SIP School, a provider of advanced education about Session Initiation Protocol technology, has selected OnSIP, a business phone service by Junction Networks (News - Alert), a company offering enhanced business VoIP service to small and medium-sized businesses as its new SIP service. As the issuing authority for the SIP School Certified Associate Certification endorsed by the Telecommunications Industry Association (News - Alert) along with many manufacturers of SIP devices and providers of SIP based services, the SIP School has more than 5,500 students registered for its training programs.

Until now, students of the SIP School were asked to create a SIP address with any free service during their first session. With the new development, each student will have an alternative option to get a SIP address on thesipschool.com domain using the OnSIP API.

OnSIP by Junction Networks is an enhanced business phone service on the Internet for companies with five to 100 employees. It offers an enterprise class phone system to the users at much lower costs and added flexibility.

“We are very excited to provide OnSIP services on The SIP School’s thesipschool.com domain,” commented Rob Wolpov, president of OnSIP. “While we offer an enterprise-grade hosted phone service to businesses, OnSIP is, at its core, a highly scalable SIP platform, built to support real time communications using Internet domains. Anyone can sign up for an OnSIP account and take advantage of free SIP addresses, SIP domain hosting, and SIP calling using their own domain. We are glad to support The SIP School in training more people on the advantages of SIP in the future of real time communications.”

With an aim to allow its customers to leverage the benefits of a streamlined communications experience, OnSIP introduced SIP domain hosting so that the enterprises can generate SIP addresses for employees corresponding to their email addresses. Using the OnSIP API, companies are able to seamlessly integrate SIP address functionalities with their own services and solutions.

“OnSIP is offering a fantastic service that we wanted to make available to our students to help them in their SIP studies,” said Graham Francis, chief executive officer at the SIP School. “We provisioned thousands of existing student accounts using the OnSIP API, and every new student that signs up for training from now will automatically get their new SIP account provisioned for them again via the API. OnSIP made it really easy for us to do this, and it’s a service we recommend highly.”

In November 2011, OnSIP unveiled a phone certification program that will recognize desk phones and soft phone applications that are verified to work with OnSIP’s popular hosted PBX (News - Alert) phone service. The program gives an opportunity to phone manufacturers and developers to guarantee reliable Session Initiation Protocol phones to their customers.
