PUBLISHED DESCRIPTION

What the notice says

These are two network connections that provide internet access to the trust network for use by our VPN service. Our SIP trunk provides all our inbound and out bound telephone calls, all call charges to national and non-premium numbers are included in the cost. A leased line bearer is the maximum bandwidth capacity available on a leased line connection, representing the potential speed of the connection. It's essentially the "pipe" that carries your internet traffic, with the bearer speed indicating the maximum data transfer the line is capable of. SIP trunks are virtual phone lines that utilize internet connections to enable businesses to make and receive phone calls. Additional information: This is a call off contract from framework Crown Commercial Services Framework - Network Services 3 - RM6116
