Solution
VoIP & Telephony
SIP-based telephony platforms engineered end to end: trunk design, dial plans, IVR and queue logic, NAT-safe media paths and hardened signalling.
Scope
What is engineered
- SIP trunk and carrier failover design
- IVR, ring groups, queues and call recording
- NAT and one-way audio remediation
- TLS/SRTP, Fail2ban and toll-fraud controls
Engineering Outcome
Call infrastructure that survives load, network change and toll-fraud attempts.
Scope this solutionArchitecture
Reference VoIP call path
Signalling and media are separated, carrier paths are redundant, and every hop is authenticated before a call reaches an extension.

Method
Delivery sequence for this solution
- 01
Discover
Inventory the current environment, measure real usage and record constraints, dependencies and risk.
- 02
Design
Produce a topology, sizing model, addressing plan and security model before anything is procured.
- 03
Deploy
Build in a controlled sequence with change windows, coexistence and a defined rollback point.
- 04
Harden
Apply baselines, encryption, segmentation, abuse controls and least-privilege administrative access.
- 05
Validate
Test against the design: failover, call quality, restore, load behaviour and access control.
- 06
Support
Hand over documentation and runbooks, then maintain patching, monitoring and capacity over time.
Security Posture
Hardening applied at every layer
Firewall
Default-deny rule base, segmentation between voice, server and user zones, logging to a retained destination.
VPN / Secure Access
MFA on administrative access, per-role routing, short-lived credentials and revocation procedure.
PBX / Cloud / Virtualization
Hardened baselines, TLS/SRTP for voice, patch cadence, isolated management network and least-privilege service accounts.
Applications
Identity governance, conditional access, scoped chatbot tools, approved knowledge boundaries, privacy controls, staged mail authentication and audited administrative roles.
FAQ
VoIP & Telephony questions
- How much does a business VoIP phone system cost?
- Cost is driven by concurrent calls, extension count, dialer seats and whether the PBX is hosted or on-premises. A scoped quote follows a short review of your call volume, trunks and handsets rather than a per-seat list price.
- How long does a PBX migration take?
- A typical small to mid-size migration runs one to three weeks: discovery and dial-plan mapping, build and test on a parallel platform, then a scheduled cutover with the old system kept available for rollback.
- Can you keep our existing numbers and carrier?
- Yes. Existing trunks and numbering are mapped first, then migrated or re-registered against the new platform with a rollback path.
- Why do we get one-way audio on remote extensions?
- Almost always NAT and media path handling. The fix is explicit external addressing, correct RTP ranges and, where needed, an SBC in front of the PBX.
- How is toll fraud prevented?
- Restricted outbound classes, per-extension limits, strong device secrets, blocked international destinations by default and alerting on abnormal call patterns.
- Do you support predictive dialling?
- Yes, ViciDial deployments are sized for concurrent agents and trunk capacity, with compliance settings configured to your requirements.
