Wholesale SIP

Build your voice service on wholesale interconnection.

Wholesale SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) provides IP telephony for providers and resellers. It fits services sold to your customers; for your own business, compare enterprise SIP Trunking.

It is not the usual choice for an end-user business; it requires a provider’s operational and commercial capabilities.

How it works

Build your voice offering on carrier-grade interconnection.

Provider platform
Colt SIP interconnection
Integrate voice service
Numbers and PSTN

A foundation for your own service

The provider integrates its UCaaS, CCaaS or voice platform with Colt for inbound/outbound traffic and numbering in supported markets. End customers consume the provider’s offering.

Define interconnection, provisioning, support and country obligations. Voice transport does not automatically deliver the entire commercial and regulatory service.

Control scale and fraud
Numbers and PSTN

Scale with operational control

Size concurrency, call patterns and interconnection capacity. Correlate call records and signalling to detect errors, rejections and anomalies.

Agree fraud controls, destination permissions and consumption monitoring. A sudden increase in minutes may be legitimate demand or an incident.

Coordinate recovery
Numbers and PSTN

Recover across two operators

Resilience requires coordinated interconnection points, routes and alternative capacity. Test endpoint failure and inbound/outbound calling behaviour.

Define operations-team escalation and customer communication. Colt availability and provider-platform availability are separate dependencies.

Illustrative case: from situation to decision

Situation
A provider wants to add telephony to the platform it sells to customers.
Option
Define interconnection, numbering and commercial and operational responsibilities.
Check
Test interoperability, fraud controls and incident escalation before onboarding customers.

For providers, OTTs and resellers with operational capability; not standard enterprise SIP.

Decisions for your project

Markets
Countries, numbering, porting and allocation of obligations.
Interconnection and control
SBC, channels, signalling, encryption and fraud controls by variant.
Cross-team operations
Provisioning, records, support, escalation and recovery tests.

From design to operation

Validate eligibility and interconnection with pilot traffic before expanding countries and volume.
