Our network

Our own network edge. Built for real-time voice.

Most VoIP providers send your calls across the open internet and hope for the best. AEGIS runs its own voice network edge, from the managed site kit at your door to our data center clusters in Ohio and Virginia, on hardware that knows a voice packet when it sees one.

Not just another router

Voice gets its own lane, end to end.

Our own edge

Every site connects through an Aegis-managed site kit into encrypted tunnels that end on our own network hubs, not a best-effort trip across the public internet.

Hardware that understands voice

The site kit recognizes real-time voice and treats it differently from downloads and video: prioritized, protected, and sent the most reliable way.

Every connection, working at once

Whether your site has two connections or four (fiber, cable, 5G, or satellite), they aren't backups sitting idle. They all carry your calls, in both directions, all the time.

Most reliable audio wins

Multiple connections. One perfect call.

Your voice and your caller's voice travel over every connection your site has, at the same time and in both directions, and the most reliable audio is what gets played. A connection can stutter, jitter, drop packets, or go down completely, and your call simply carries on.

Hear the difference

Same call. Same bad network. Three very different results.

We recorded one message and sent it through connections having a terrible day. Pick the problem, choose your connections, and press play.

Every clip is the same recording, spoken by a computer-generated voice: "Thanks for calling AEGIS Communications. We sent this message through a really rough internet connection, with heavy jitter and packet loss. If you can understand every word, you're hearing the AEGIS network at work."

The "audio lost" figure beside each clip is the share of the message that could not be played back cleanly.

Calls that survive a total outage

Even when everything goes down, the call doesn't.

If every connection at your site drops at once, AEGIS keeps the call alive in our cloud and asks the other party to stand by. When your site comes back, the conversation picks up right where it left off. No redial, no "sorry, we got cut off."

What you get

Calls that sound right, whatever your internet is doing.

Every word arrives

Calls stay clear through jitter, packet loss, and congestion that leave typical VoIP choppy or robotic.

No dropped calls

If one connection drops, your calls are already riding the others. If they all drop, the call waits in our cloud until you're back.

Protected both ways

What you say and what your callers say are protected equally, in both directions, on every call.

Lost audio, recovered

When the network does lose pieces of a call, our platform rebuilds them on the fly, even through severe packet loss.

Out in the real world

Even at 13,800 feet, the call sounds like this.

The simulator shows what our network does with a rough connection. Here's a real one: a live call from the top of Mt. Antero, Colorado, with the audio straight from our phone system.

Captions are built into the video. The waveform on screen is the actual call audio from our phone system.

Hey, Shea!

How's it going?

About 13,800 feet.

How's the call quality up here?

I can hear you crystal clear.

Yeah, same.

Now that is outstanding.

We just wanted to make a phone call and prove to everybody looking at Aegis Communications that we can do the best, highest quality, most reliable phones on the planet. And we're on top of the planet to prove it.

What's in a site kit

Built around your site, not a catalog.

Every AEGIS site has at least two connections, and we supply additional connections as part of our service when a site needs them. Depending on your setup, a site kit may include any of these.

Voice-aware routers

Aegis-managed routers that bond, steer, and protect every connection at your site.

Edge SBCs

Session border controllers at the edge that secure and normalize voice signaling before it leaves your building.

5G WAN

Cellular connectivity that carries your calls all the time, not just an emergency spare.

Hear it on your own calls.

Tell us about your locations and connections, and we'll design a site kit around them.
