What are the requirements for setting up a SIP trunk?

Setting up a SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) trunk requires several key requirements. First and foremost, a stable and reliable internet connection is necessary to carry voice traffic effectively. Additionally, a compatible IP-PBX (Internet Protocol-Private Branch Exchange) system or a SIP-enabled device is needed to establish and manage the calls. It is crucial to ensure that the IP-PBX or device supports SIP trunking and is configured correctly. Furthermore, a dedicated SIP trunking service provider is essential to establish the connection between the IP-PBX system and the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). Lastly, understanding the required bandwidth for the anticipated call volume and considering any necessary security measures, such as firewalls, to protect the network is vital when setting up a SIP trunk.
