How secure is Ringotel?

Ringotel encrypts all communication between the endpoints using the standard TLS and SRTP protocols. It works as a secure VoIP tunnel that routes voice traffic from softphone users to a connected PBX(s), so no need for a VPN or SBC solution. In addition, the communication can be encrypted between a Ringotel server and your PBX via TLS/SRTP. Also, Ringotel encrypts users’ SIP passwords with one-way encryption and generates separate login credentials for the softphone users, so they don’t know their SIP passwords from the PBX. If your organization has specific compliance policies, we offer on-premise deployment within your infrastructure. Please reach out to get help at team@ringotel.co.

Can I run the Ringotel on my own server?

Yes! Just contact us and we will reach out to you about our On-Premise License.

Can I integrate Ringotel provisioning with my phone system?

Yes, what you can do through the Ringotel admin portal, you can do through the API. Use our Admin API to automate provisioning, such as creating Ringotel users when an extension is created on the PBX.

I don’t have a phone system. Can I connect Ringotel directly to my VoIP provider?

Yes, you can use the Ringotel softphone even without a PBX. When you create a connection, you can select the “Connect to a VoIP provider” option and enter the credentials provided by your VoIP service provider. Then create and assign users who will be able to make and receive calls via the connection. Contact our support team if you need further assistance.

Can Ringotel register to the local PBX when on-site?

Ringotel works as a secure VoIP tunnel that routes voice traffic from the softphone users to your PBX(s). So the end users will be connected to a Ringotel server, that in turn, will register to the PBX extensions. This architecture offers quite a lot of benefits out-of-the-box. In addition, we offer Ringotel on-premise, so we can install a Ringotel server within your or your customer’s infrastructure and in this way, Ringotel can be conected to the local PBX.
