A previous company used Nextep and they were able to route to wherever they wanted simply by having it go to their datacenter presence, and from there they could VPN it anywhere they wanted. You could investigate that as a future-proofing option.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Sure, Telstra (for example) does this with their SIP Connect product, though I’m not sure it’s exactly what you want. Basically you can nominate a number that all inbound trunk calls get diverted to when the trunk registration isn’t up which works quite well.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">It sounds like you don’t want to divert the trunk, though, you want to forward all internal extensions out to user softphones so you can retain the hunt group and other internal logic and your users can work remotely. This depends on the PABX system you’re using; Cisco’s CUCM has a softphone that registers like any other phone (and works ok over a VPN), and you would assign the user’s desktop DN to it so both the desk phone and the softphone ring simultaneously and either can be answered. I’d imagine most other VOIP systems could do the same thing.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">So basically, it depends on what you have deployed. At the least I’d expect you would need some sort of site-to-site VPN between head office and the remote location, and whichever softphone your internal PABX system supports to register over the VPN. Your VPN endpoint could then do QoS as appropriate.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
