w.r.t. quality, there's no issue with doing the conversion. Your line sounds plenty fast for SIP traffic BUT you would also need to reflect on &nbsp;how much other traffic is using the line at the same time!!!

Hey guys, got a question. &nbsp;We have a Mitel IP-5000 VoIP phone system. &nbsp;It can interface with a PRI, but we have 8 Starview SIP trunks coming into the building (they're going to be running off a Comcast Cable connection). &nbsp;Is there a SOLID way to convert SIP trunks to a PRI to pass off to the phone system? &nbsp;Needs to have all the features (DIDs, etc). &nbsp;Is there a solid way to do that?<br />
<br />
ALSO - is that a good way of doing it? &nbsp;Having SIP trunks coming in over Comcast cable. &nbsp;The connection is pretty quick - 32Mbit down and about 3mbit up. &nbsp;Would we run into any quality issues?

SIP to PRI?  Would this work?

IP telephony (Internet Protocol telephony) is a general term for the technologies that use the Internet Protocol's packet-switched connections to exchange voice, fax, and other forms of information that have traditionally been carried over the dedicated circuit-switched connections of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Using the Internet, calls travel as packets of data on shared lines, avoiding the tolls of the PSTN. The challenge in IP telephony is to deliver the voice, fax, or video packets in a dependable flow to the user.

IP Telephony

Voice over IP (VoIP) is a methodology and group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet. Other terms commonly associated with VoIP are IP telephony, Internet telephony, broadband telephony, and broadband phone service. The term specifically refers to the provisioning of communications services (voice, fax, SMS, voice-messaging) over the public Internet, rather than via the public switched telephone network (PSTN).  Examples of the VoIP protocols are H.323, Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), H.248 (also known as Media Gateway Control (Megaco)), Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP), Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP), Session Description Protocol (SDP), and Inter-Asterisk eXchange (IAX).
