How to Explain SIP to a Non-Technical Person
SIP... or Session Internet Protocol... isn't necessarily a new communications concept. It has been around awhile although it seems to be garnering a resurgence in Telephony applications today. But... how do you explain what SIP is when asked?
Good luck with this one, trying to explain SIP to technical people is tough enough.
Here's some very simple short statements that may help...
- SIP enables telephony over the internet network
- SIP allows us to packetize and prioritize voice traffic over digital circuits.
- SIP is a way voice is packed into a digital signal that is then enabled for transfer through the internet.
