PTC 228 Draft Specification for SIP Trunking
December 23, 2009
A new network interface for PBXs will be trialled in the new year. This is an IP access using SIP signalling and is intended to compliment existing ISDN access, and possibly eventually replace it altogether. Features of the new service are that it gives direct access to the Telecom IP core, and includes gateways to the PSTN. The specification for SIP trunking is PTC228
Initially PTC testing will be carried out in the Telecom Network Integration Laboratory (NIL) in Tory Street Wellington, using a model VoIP/PSTN Network. We are currently working through the testing methodology, and hopefully we will be able to accredit external laboratories when we have a better feel for what is required.
