TRAFFIC EXCHANGE

With a VoIP traffic exchange solution, carriers can offer call exchange services to affiliate service providers worldwide. Backed by the extremely robust Billing engine, this solution allows efficient mediation of even the largest traffic volumes. Thanks to a tandem of advanced components, CallingPlaces VoIP traffic exchange solution facilitates interconnection among VoIP networks regardless of their call control protocol, equipment vendor or internal architecture.

CallingPlaces Billing Platform enables the creation of scalable and easy-to-manage transit VoIP networks (via H323), providing call authentication/authorization, information on priority-based and least-cost routing, CDR processing, and advanced statistics (ASR, cost/revenue, etc.). As an option, the actual call switching, routing and transcoding will be handled by a session border controller.

Who is it for?

bulletVoIP carriers seeking partners among outside service providers
bulletExchange carriers looking to offer global call coverage to affiliate service providers
bulletWholesale carriers wishing to interconnect with virtually any SIP or H.323 based VoIP network
bulletWholesale VoIP providers or companies with a complex network infrastructure
bulletCompanies planning to provide ASP/Hosted billing and switching solutions

How does it work?

CallingPlaces VoIP traffic exchange solution provides a single centralized point of management for an entire network. This includes remote control, configuration and monitoring of all elements of the domain, as well as provisioning capabilities. The VoIP traffic exchange solution enables traffic originators and terminators alike to make use of a powerful, feature-rich self-care interface.

Call management (including accounting) is completely centralized, with the system recognizing all active calls passing through it. Real-time Call Detail Records (CDRs) are automatically sent to one central location from both the originating and terminating points. The exchange carrier may also send its own CDRs to terminating partners, providing them with an additional means of verifying call details for accounting and settlement purposes.

Solution components

The core elements of a VoIP-based traffic exchange solution include:

bulletOne or more VoIP Gateways that support RADIUS/AAA (CISCO, Quintum, etc.); this plays the role of an interface for both originated and terminating calls from the PSTN or VoIP
bulletBilling Software, a real-time billing and customer care platform that keeps track of calls and corresponding charges; redundant system architecture (dual database) is already incorporated in the basic version
bulletSIPServer software, a call control software package based on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), providing a full array of call routing capabilities as well as a solution to the NAT traversal problem
bullet(Optional) Mera VoIP transit softswitch (MVTS), to assist with call switching, routing protocol transcoding, and solving compatibility issues between the VoIP endpoints of different manufacturers
