Clients can easily plan their costs according to the communication requirements of their infrastructures. The maximum number of SIP trunking channels is given by the license and user types.
The number of SIP trunking channels is computed based on the total number of Maximum public concurrent calls set for the users.
You cannot enable SIP trunking if the Maximum public concurrent calls is set to Unlimited. For more information, refer to the User Limits section.
| User type | License type | No. of extensions | Maximum no. of SIP trunking channels |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enterprise | Leased, yearly | License is issued in increments of 50 Hubgets users and 100 extensions | Equal to the number of extensions the license is issued for (namely in increments of 100) |
| Service provider | Leased or Evaluation | Limited or pay-as-you-grow | Equal to the number of extensions the license is issued for |
