Maintenance for Performance Technologies SEGway
by scott＠socket.net May 17, 2017

May 17, 2017

We have been using a set of PTI SEGway x201s with point code emulation for a number of years now. We also have an unlicensed spare in stock. The maintenance contract renewals are due and the two quotes I've received are quite high. I know of at least one other company that has chosen to drop the vendor maintenance and take care of that in-house. I would like to hear from anyone that is currently using SEGways and find out what they chose to do for maintenance. I would also be very interested to hear of any bad experiences from chosing the in-house option. Thanks.

Multi Tenant Commercial Softswitch Besides Broadsoft
by colton.conor＠gmail.com Aug. 7, 2014

Aug. 7, 2014

What carrier and service provider multitenant softswitch and pbx systems are on the market today besides Broadsoft? We use a Broadsoft solution today. We like the redundancy that Broadsoft offers, and the fact that it just works. However, they are starting to seriously lack features, and there are too many Broadsoft competitors. We are finding that our Broadsoft offering is no different than Comcast, Verizon, or other local providers that offer Broadsoft services to. We are really looking for something that integrates well for the mobile worker. The ability to use their cell phone with the service is key for us. The day's of clients buying $300 Polycom IP phones are slowing down. However, people understand the value and are willing to spend $600 on a smartphone. What commercial solutions are there?

Hawaii SIP Orig/Term

Kristian - We can get you Origination and Termination. If you'd like we can do a PRI w/ Gateway on Oahu. We can do SIP Minutes for origination / termination via our mainland cloud. Aryn Hi All, We're looking for local (as local as possible) SIP origination and termination in Hawaii. Ideally I could hand my RTP traffic directly to *something* connected to an IMT without having to go all the way back to the mainland. Need to do orig too so portability is a must. Anything reasonable available that anyone knows of? Thanks! -- Kristian Kielhofner _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing listVoiceOps at voiceops.orghttps://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops

VoIP over 3G/4G Data Connection
by colton.conor＠gmail.com July 27, 2014

July 27, 2014

What are the recommended settings to successfully implement VoIP over 3G/4G data connection? Assume we are talking about using Polycom phones, and the 3G/4G data connection comes from a Cradlepoint router that is plugged in with AC power and has high gain antennas. The device will be stationary, so we will not have to worry about tower handoffs breaking the connection. This will be for fixed wireless aiming at a cell tower. I assume packet loss will be a big concern as we have no control or QoS abilities. Plus, the speed fluctuates so much. I have read to use G.729 codec, and TCP for signaling to bypass firewalls. Besides that, what other settings are recommended? Changes in MTU? Changes in voice payload ms? Is there a better codec to use? Header compression?

VoIP Monitor

I just spent time researching this last week for California where we are based and my conclusion was that as a "public utility engaged in the business of providing communications services and facilities" we have an exemption from the call recording laws at least for the purpose of running a communications network. We do have a California CLEC, and although I consider our voice "Interconnected VoIP", I think intent of the law is pretty clear that telephone service providers are exempt for the purposes of maintaining their network. The full California law is here: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=pen&group=00001-01000… Here is the exemption language: (b) This section shall not apply (1) to any public utility engaged in the business of providing communications services and facilities, or to the officers, employees or agents thereof, where the acts otherwise prohibited herein are for the purpose of construction, maintenance, conduct or operation of the services and facilities of the public utility, or (2) to the use of any instrument, equipment, facility, or service furnished and used pursuant to the tariffs of a public utility, or (3) to any telephonic communication system used for communication exclusively within a state, county, city and county, or city correctional facility. -- Dave Clark President Impulse Advanced Communications 805-456-5800 x6339

Comcast Voice Engineer?
by mwiles＠akabis.com July 22, 2014

July 22, 2014

Is there per chance a Comcast Voice Engineer out there? Comcast customers, at least in the Augusta GA neck-of-the-woods, are unable to call an 803-202 number. When they call it, it rings, and rings, and rings. When called from off of Comcast network, it completes fine. Customer advises that they were going to port to Comcast, but they couldn't get it done as quickly as the customer wanted. Seems like maybe Comcast has a translation built for the TN, that they never actually ported in. Any assistance would be appreciated. customer is understandably unhappy, and there's little I can do as we're not a Comcast peer or customer. Off-list input welcomed!
