True or False: A SIP Trunk needs to operate across a TDM Link to the ITSP for transporting Media such as Voice and/or Video.

SIP Trunks operate over IP networks, which means they do not require a Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) link for the transport of media such as voice and video. Instead, SIP Trunks utilize the Internet or private IP networks to facilitate communication, taking advantage of modern packet-switched technologies. This digital approach allows for greater flexibility and scalability compared to traditional TDM links, which are typically used for legacy telephony systems.

Using an IP-based method allows SIP Trunks to efficiently manage voice and video calls without the need for conversion between TDM and IP, making them more cost-effective and suitable for VoIP communications. While it is indeed possible to interface SIP Trunks with TDM systems through gateways, this is not a requirement for the basic operation of a SIP Trunk itself. Therefore, stating that a SIP Trunk needs to operate across a TDM link is not accurate.
