Canadian postal code to ratecenter mappings?
by ryandelgrosso＠gmail.com Feb. 16, 2012

Feb. 16, 2012

Hello all, I am presently embroiled in a project extending our reach as a service provider into Canada but I am running into some data issues. Does anyone out there know of a data source that can map Canadian postal codes to their respective ratecenters, much as the lerg does for the US? Any help is much appreciated. -Ryan

FCC issues Declaratory Ruling on Call Termination
by frnkblk＠iname.com Feb. 15, 2012

Feb. 15, 2012

The FCC issued a Declaratory Ruling today in regards to call termination. The ruling prevents originating carriers from passing the buck to LCR, puts responsibility on them if they are aware of degraded service, and attaches some stiff fines. It would seem to me that this would prevent Google Voice and others, such as Level3, from not terminating to certain (more expensive) NPA/NXXes. Frank

RESPORG with ANI pass-through
by abalashov＠evaristesys.com Feb. 14, 2012

Feb. 14, 2012

I need to find someone who can port a TFN from Sprint, but is willing to insert the received ANI digits into the caller ID, since it will ultimately go to a conventional handset without an OOB digital control channel that can bear ANI. -- Alex Balashov - Principal Evariste Systems LLC 260 Peachtree Street NW Suite 2200 Atlanta, GA 30303 Tel: +1-678-954-0670 Fax: +1-404-961-1892 Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/, http://www.alexbalashov.com/

Looking for a reputable UK VoIP term & orig provider
by d＠d-man.org Feb. 13, 2012

Feb. 13, 2012

Hey folks, I'm looking for a provider of orig & term that is local in the UK to do business with. You must own your own term/orig equipment and peer with a carrier out there, I don't want man-in-the-middle resellers who are just LCRing VoIP minutes if possible. Any suggestions? Feel free to email off list to avoid spamming everyone with ads. Include the type of equipment you use to terminate calls with and who you peer with, if that's a reasonable request. Thanks, Darren

question about campus installations
by clec＠cygnustel.com Feb. 13, 2012

Feb. 13, 2012

Calix C7 might be overkill for this project, but you can do 24x20 ports in a single Chassis this way. I believe they have smaller chassis nowadays too. Can do GR303-> POTS or H.248->POTS. -- Eric Hiller Cygnus Communications 81 N.

It worked great for years, this summer I updated the firmware, switch to SIP and moved the customer onto our Broadworks platform. Still working great. The MALC is a bit of a nightmare to configure but it is great. The MALC I have running has 4 - 48 port POTS cards with a bunch of empty slots. We installed it in a weather proof cabinet including batteries & fusing. This came from Zhone already assembled and wired.

Ran cross connects from Phone -> MALC block and double punched MALC block -> PBX block. Left the MALC disconnected on the 25 pair. When it was time for the cut we just yanked off all the double punch xconnects to disconnect the PBX and plugged in the MALC 25 pair.

The ADSL2+ is great to push bandwidth out to dorm rooms if they don't have Cat5 anywhere. You can get DSL modems that are embedded in a single gang faceplate to mount in the dorm rooms.

Experiences with VoIP and 100+ seat sites
by d＠d-man.org Feb. 4, 2012

Feb. 4, 2012

Hi folks, I'd love to hear some stories (good or bad) of hosted PBX VoIP installs on 100+ seat sites (single site). Specifically if you've done this with Broadsoft or another solidified switch. I have mixed opinions on how this type of scenario can be successful and now I'm being pressed by a client on a formal opinion. I figure having it based on experience from others on a similar product is worth hearing about. Specifically curious about how you addressed call quality issues and ensured bandwidth and uplink were sufficient. As much detail as you're willing would be great, on or off list. Thanks, Darren
