PortaSwitch Applications

PortaSwitch can provide a number of applications which address a comprehensive set of communication features aimed at today’s market opportunities. Our software-based approach increases user flexibility, lowers the cost of entry into enhanced service markets, and minimizes the deployment time and costs typically associated with a hardware-based solution.

IP Centrex

Features the calling functionalities that subscribers now expect, including call forwarding, voicemail, auto-attendant, follow-me, and so on. These services can be delivered via converged IP access for small-to-medium sized businesses.

Benefits:

Reduced costs for MAC (Moves, Adds and Changes)
Single converged voice and data network at each location
Variable-length abbreviated dialing at each location
Consolidated long distance from all locations

IP PBX

Provides dial tone as well as personal and group calling features. IP PBX features web-configurable service management and eliminates the drawbacks common to most hardware-based solutions.

Benefits:

Greater flexibility in deployment and maintenance
Superior functionality over traditional PBX
Services can be rolled out to specific departments or sites, or across multiple sites to replace and/or complement existing equipment

Voice VPN

Call routing policies are often difficult to implement within a traditional system. Our Voice VPN application provides web-configurable enterprise and private dialing plans for routing site-to-site calls over private/public IP networks without such hassles.

Private dialing plans integrate with a PBX or other network infrastructure
Rolling-out can target specific site-to-site long distance costs, or drive network-level voice/data convergence

The rapid and incremental deployment options available with Voice VPN allow service providers to offer the most competitive and diversified services while maximizing customers’ ROI and decreasing their upfront costs.

Callback Management

With Callback Management solution, service providers can enable users to initiate long-distance calls using a variety of origination methods, thus offering an alternative to costly outbound long-distance rates. Supported origination methods are:
