Cablevision Optimum expands SIP trunking

Cablevision Systems' Optimum business service provider unit has expanded its Voice SIP Trunking capability to the small and medium-sized business market through a partnership with Avaya. The offering has been integrated with Avaya IP Office 6.0, and it allows small businesses to maintain an IP PBX without the costs associated with T-1s or analog gateways.

Cable TV companies have made great strides in business market segments in recent years, and Cablevision has been out in front of that trend with the Optimum Voice brand, particularly in the SMB VoIP market. This integration is another push in that direction and a response to some of the cost hurdles some businesses may face.
