Speakeasy expanded its SIP IP voice and data integration capability as part of its comprehensive 'Integrated Voice' service. Speakeasy can now provide combined voice and data service over direct SIP trunks, in addition to its existing service over analog and digital lines. Speakeasy's Integrated Voice connects to a traditional key system or PBX, and now with direct SIP, to an IP PBX, making it easier than ever to take advantage of the cost savings and flexibility of Speakeasy Voice.

To support direct SIP, Speakeasy plans to certify eight of the major IP PBX hardware manufacturers. Speakeasy has certified the ADTRAN Netvanta 7100 and Fonality trixbox Community Edition (CE).

With Speakeasy's Integrated Voice, available bandwidth is automatically allocated to data transmission, such as e-mail and general Web use, when calls are not in use. This optimizes the customer's network utilization. In addition, by using an optional VoIP codex, G.729, customers can free up even more data bandwidth by further compressing voice traffic.
