Learn More and Engage

Internet2 partnered with Lumen to offer SIP-based services such as local trunks, long-distance trunks, toll-free, conferencing, and UC services designed to provide flexibility, local control, and local survivability, and empower institutions to customize the solution to meet their unique campus needs. When you converge your campus’ voice and data onto a single network with the Lumen SIP Trunking service, you can save network and operational expenses, while laying a foundation for next-generation communication and collaboration tools.  

  • Lumen allows you to deliver new services faster without large capital and network expenses.
  • Migrate on your own schedule with support for both today’s TDM needs and future VoIP migrations.
  • Offer the right services including local and long-distance with optional toll-free, advanced calling, mobility, and business continuity features.
  • Support campus 911 requirements with Static 911 services for end-user service locations within CenturyLink/Level 3‘s voice footprint, and geographically independent, nomadic 911 services for unified communications deployments.
  • Leverage pooled concurrent call paths. Share idle capacity across the enterprise to reduce oversubscription on site-specific trunks.
  • Get cost-effective access by leveraging your existing Internet2 Network connection to connect to the CenturyLink/Level 3 SIP Trunking infrastructure.
  • Support multiple platforms. The Lumen SIP Trunking service was originally offered in conjunction with Cleasspan Connected for the Internet2 SIP Services offering. Our service is also certified on Avaya®, Cisco®, and Microsoft® platforms—and we’re confident we can integrate with any platform you deploy.
