<br>
Our service provider can provide all of our trunking and PSTN connectivity via a direct SIP trunk, so I no longer need a PSTN gateway or PRI card, etc. (or at least I should not).<br>
<br>
We will be peering SIP from the CUCM to our providers SBC, so the question begs to ask on our side is a CUBE absolutely required to make this work? Pros/Cons? I'd rather not have to add a CUBE in if I don't have to.<br>
<br>
Since the phones are native SIP as is the CallManager I'm trying to understand why a CUBE is required? (or is it not?)<br>
