SD WAN & SIP Trunking
SD WAN:
iCloudConnect SD-WAN
Cloud-Based SD-WAN Solution for Highly Optimized Voice and Data Traffic
Crystal-clear, Reliable Voice and Stable Data Flow
SD-WAN makes the day-to-day operation and management of VoIP and data systems easier, more efficient and worry-free. Optimizing your business' existing bandwidth, iCloudConnect SD-WAN is ideal for any organization that needs high quality voice or those that have bandwidth limits and need reliability and stability for both their VoIP and standard data.
Companies with remote workers, multiple locations/branches, or workflows that require employees to rely on multiple network types/distributed networks find SD-WAN especially beneficial.
FAQs About SD-WAN Optimization
Why Does Your Business Need SD-WAN?
Whether your business has a single location that uses significant bandwidth or multiple locations that require stable VoIP and data, iCloudConnect's SD-WAN solution optimizes hosted voice quality and data traffic by making the best use of an organization's current bandwidth and provides administrators the ability to quickly detect and mitigate issues such as packet loss and jitter between our infrastructure and their customers.
How Does SD-WAN Prioritize Business Communication Bandwidth For Voice?
To prevent disruption and dropped calls, voice communication is given higher priority than data. Using specialized routing, iCloudConnect's sophisticated SD-WAN identifies the best use of bandwidth for voice communication across distributed networks and gives voice the right-of-way. Other systems may attempt to push data through the limited bandwidth at the expense of voice, often resulting in dropped calls and poor audio.

6 Ways Your Customers Benefit from SD-WAN
6 Ways Your Customers Benefit From SD-WAN
SD-WAN prioritizes your business' hosted voice traffic over data to ensure the highest voice quality. When users run out of bandwidth for their standard data, their pages run slow, but when bandwidth runs out for voice, calls can sound awful or drop.
SD-WAN immediately detects failure or service degradation issues like high latency, packet loss, or jitter over any WAN circuit, and can immediately failover to more reliable circuits without any impact to live call quality — meaning communications remain seamless as issues are addressed.
SD-WAN gives administrators a centralized view of the entire network and allows them to easily pull packet captures and perform deeper analysis as needed. Knowing exactly when and where a communication system needs assistance saves time, money, and headaches for your business. SD-WAN makes it easy to identify current or potential issues and trace them directly to the source, whether it’s the ISP, the LAN, or anywhere in-between.
SD-WAN works to manage and optimize connections between disparate locations and distributed networks, so employees at different locations have the same access and network quality. Administrators can also apply the same network configurations across an entire organization, without needing to log in to each site individually.
SD-WAN offers the ability to analyze traffic and detect applications being used on a network, giving Administrators visibility into what sources might be using a network’s bandwidth, as well as the ability to control the use of that bandwidth on a per-application basis.
When sending the voice packets, SD-WAN creates specialized tunnels between your edge device and the data center, isolating your traffic from standard internet traffic and ensuring end-to-end quality of voice service.
Why SD-WAN Optimization?
Outside the Network
End user voice data gets prioritized and managed as it is sent to the provider, leading to added voice optimization.
Your end users are empowered knowing exactly when and where a communication system needs assistance.
SD-WAN offers centralized visibility and management of bandwidth usage and connections for administrators, and optimization for distributed or hybrid networks.
SIP Trunking: SIP Trunking Solutions
A SIP Trunking solution is a virtual phone line that utilizes a Broadband connection for access, offering up to 40% savings over traditional telephone lines. From businesses looking for the flexibility and cost savings of the best VoIP options, to mid-sized businesses looking for business continuity, disaster recovery, and unlimited or metered calling plans, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has become the common signaling standard for real-time communications for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP).
SIP Trunking solutions offers many benefits, starting with the business' ability to plan for peak concurrent call utilization across the enterprise versus on a location-by-location basis. Most of the time this will result in immediate cost savings, as well as a more flexible and scalable solution for the customer.
SIP Trunking is cost-efficient to implement and CAPEX negligent, meaning businesses can maintain their same previous features at a fraction of the cost over time.
Enterprises, particularly businesses that receive a high call volume, such as those utilizing cloud contact center solutions can halve their telecommunications budget with SIP Trunking solutions by reducing the costs for making and receiving calls.
SIP Trunking solutions combine voice and data to better connect distant business systems, helping companies establish faster, wider geographic growth.
Unlike traditional POTs and T1/PRI lines that require planning for peak call times, SIP Trunking solutions offer the flexibility of on-demand scalability, meaning it can scale up or down, making it an ideal and scalable solution.
Case Study: How SIP Trunking Saves Money and Enables Business Continuity
Let’s say your business has 3 locations. This business currently has 15 lines (POTs lines or call paths on a PRI) at location one, 10 lines at location two, and 5 lines at location three. That’s 30 lines total today.
In many cases, your business can operate with 20% less (or more) lines if they could be shared across the enterprise. Not only is that an immediate cost savings, but there are call routing and business continuity benefits included with the service.
