The Global Leader in Pure VoIP SIP Trunking

BandTel provides business class VoIP phone services that integrate with the Asterisk IP-PBX seamlessly to provide reliable, redundant service.

Why BandTel for Your Asterisk PBX

BandTel acknowledges the Asterisk PBX as a significant development for the telecommunications industry, and so has gone to extra mile to ensure its architecture works flawlessly with BandTel's NPlus ™ VoIP network.

Bandtel’s NPlus ™ architecture effectively frees the Asterisk PBX from needing to be hardwired to a VoIP carrier's SIP switch. Instead, BandTel's architecture allows your Asterisk PBX to communicate seamlessly with all BandTel (N) switches on a call by call basis.

This dynamic NPlus™ connection between your Asterisk PBX and BandTel’s VoIP network is done through the combined use of BandTel’s DNS server pairs, and advanced call routing and call distribution via BandTel's Session Border Controllers (SBCs).

To learn more about BandTel NPlus ™ network architecture see our NPlus ™ whitepaper.
