Empowering Canadian businesses with reliable and secure communications
Have you ever wondered where your company’s data and phone calls disappear to? It’s more crucial than ever to consider where and how quickly your information is stored. This is particularly true for something as important as your business communication system. Our goal at ifonica, a Canadian SIP trunking provider located in Markham, Ontario, is to ensure that your communications are not only dependable and clear, but also secure and remain in Canada.
Keeping your data in Canada matters
“Data sovereignty” is one of the major industry buzzwords you may hear. To put it simply, data sovereignty means that your data is governed by the laws of the nation in which it is physically located. This means your communication data is protected by Canadian privacy laws if it’s kept on servers located in Canada. Why does this matter? Knowing that your data is under Canadian jurisdiction provides a great deal of security and peace of mind for Canadian businesses, particularly those in industries like government, law, and even technology.
Canadians’ privacy is safeguarded by laws such as PIPEDA (the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act). You can be sure that your communication data is being handled in accordance with these strict Canadian standards as long as it remains in Canada. When handling sensitive data or following particular industry regulations, this can be particularly crucial. Selecting a provider with data centers located in Canada, such as ours in Markham and Montreal, guarantees that the solution you choose will respect and comply with Canadian privacy laws from the very beginning.
Low latency explained
It’s important to mention latency, which has a direct effect on how well your phone system functions. Consider attempting to engage in conversation with someone who cuts out or pauses, which can be frustrating. High latency is frequently the cause of that. In essence, latency is the amount of time it takes for data to move between locations. In the world of voice communication, especially VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) which powers SIP trunking, low latency is key to crystal-clear calls and seamless video conferencing.
Imagine driving across town, it will take longer if you have to pass through numerous traffic lights. Similarly, there will be delays if your voice data travels across continents to reach a server and then returen. Dropped calls, robotic voices and annoying pauses can result from this.
This is where having a “home field” advantage, thanks to our data centers being located in Markham and Montreal is beneficial. Your voice data travels a much shorter distance because our infrastructure is situated right here in Canada. Benefit from better call quality and a more seamless communication experience for both you and your customers as a result of this significantly reduced latency. keeping your communication traffic within Canada guarantees a more dependable, faster connection, whether you’re speaking with someone in Vancouver or Halifax.
Geo-redundancy for uninterrupted service
Have you’ve ever wondered what would happen if something unexpected occurs? This is where having two data centers instead of just one is useful. Here in Markham, we have our main data center, and we also have a strong backup site in Montreal. This configuration is known as geo-redundancy and functions as a complete communication system backup plan. Your services can smoothly switch to the other location in the event that there is a problem at one for any reason. This guarantees that your business operations will be minimally disrupted and you can continue communicating without any interruptions. It all comes down to giving you dependable business continuity while ensuring that your communication infrastructure is secure and robust.
