SIPenabled
SIPenabled (often written SIP-enabled) is a term used to describe devices, software, or services that implement the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for initiating, modifying, and terminating real-time communications over IP networks. In practice, SIPenabled equipment can establish voice calls, video calls, and interactive sessions between endpoints such as IP phones, soft clients, gateways, and conferencing servers. SIP serves as a signaling protocol that handles registration, user location, call setup, presence, and call transfer, while media is typically carried over RTP negotiated via offer/answer using SDP.
Most SIPenabled systems rely on a SIP infrastructure that includes user agents, SIP proxies or registrar servers,
Security and deployment considerations include encryption (TLS for signaling, SRTP for media), NAT traversal mechanisms (STUN,
Use cases range from enterprise unified communications to consumer VoIP apps and cloud-based calling services. The
