What does " SIP technology provides Disaster Recovery" means?

It may be referencing the SIP trunk provider feature where you can pre-designate a number to divert calls in case the SIP trunks go down.

There are many ways in which Sip trunking can provide disaster recovery or be a disaster themselves! With SIP you are not tied to one location, so you can have a second site ready to go but offline, if a disaster befalls your main site, you move to the fall back site and turn it on. Because the original site is down, the fall back site registers to the SIP server and you are back on line. In a smaller scale way, small businesses can have a 4G failover on their router so that if their normal network connection falls over, the 4G network picks up the service. Also as Belvedere says, you can also have business continuity settings that will realise that your service is down and re route calls to a separate nominated number.

You may realise that I am not the greatest fan of Sip trunking from my suggestion they can be a disaster themselves but if you have bandwidth issues, you can have speech quality issues but the service isn't down so no failover and other issues! I am an old time tech who has been dragged kicking and screaming into the SIP world but I have treated it with respect and did my CCNA some years ago so I could stay up to date, so I have a foot in both camps!
