Why Choose SIP.US for Asterisk
A phone system includes two high-level components. First there’s the PBX (private branch exchange), in this case Asterisk, which includes call management and additional features like voicemail, automated attendants, call distribution groups and so forth. The next component is a connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), which routes calls to their intended recipient. Traditional phone systems use carrier provided PRI (primary rate interface) lines to connect to the PSTN. SIP is an alternative that leverages a data network, rather than telephone lines, to deliver calls to the PSTN.
