A SIP Trunk is a type of connection that allows a business or organization to use its existing IP-based private branch exchange (PBX) system to make and receive telephone calls using the Internet, rather than using traditional phone lines.

SIP Trunks work by connecting a PBX to the Internet using a SIP-enabled router or gateway. The PBX then sends and receives voice traffic to and from the Internet using the SIP protocol, which is a widely used standard for controlling multimedia sessions such as voice and video calls over IP networks.

Once the PBX is connected to the Internet, it can be configured to use a SIP Trunking service provider, who will provide the necessary telephone numbers and routing information to allow the PBX to make and receive calls to and from the public telephone network.

One of the benefits of using a SIP Trunk is that it allows a business to make and receive calls using its existing PBX system, without the need to purchase and maintain separate phone lines. This can result in cost savings, as well as increased flexibility and scalability.

Another benefit is that SIP Trunks can also be used to make and receive calls to and from other SIP-enabled systems, such as other PBXs or softphones, allowing for easy integration with other communication tools.
