VoIP Monitor - MOS
by Adam.Vocks＠cticomputers.com Aug. 11, 2014

Aug. 11, 2014

Hi, We're considering using VoIP Monitor to analyze the call quality of our Asterisk switch. Here is a snip from the last 8 days. I notice that the 99% MOS drops when we seem to have more calls going on. Should the 99% MOS be pretty flat throughout the day or is this graph indicating that I have a problem that I need to look into? (I'm not having any complaints. Just trying to be pro-active.) As always, thank for your feedback. Adam

Multi Tenant Commercial Softswitch Besides Broadsoft

Hi, I'm a new member to the group and happy to contribute to this thread. For background purposes, Metaswitch has hundreds of service providers globally using our carrier-grade platform to deliver a complete Class 5, Trunking, and Hosted PBX solution and Accession UC Client to a broad range of enterprise customers. We also have a number of service providers who offer a wholesale "whitelabel" offering as well. I'll be happy to address specific questions about the breadth of our solution. Suffice it to say that service providers, large and small, are winning in the market with our feature set. We are also deployed in service providers who offer the same enterprise offering alongside those which is built on other vendors' platforms (as a result of M&A). In other scenarios, service providers have opted to completely migrate from other platforms to Metaswitch. In other cases, we provide the Class 4, Media Gateway functions (we can talk TDM and SIP), and/or SBC, which has been reviewed favorably by independent analysts and the market alike and can be deployed on HW or virtualized as well.

Multi Tenant Commercial Softswitch Besides Broadsoft

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?

We can set up a 100 concurrent redundant asterisk with a billing platform for less than $40 k. It will do SIP Trunking and Hosted. Automatically shut off customers if they don?t pay you. This is a system you would own in your own Colo, not a white label.

I'm curious because I assume that you have a significant investment in your current platform and dumping that investment would require an even larger investment in another platform (not counting the training, migration, etc...). Metaswitch for example is a fantastic platform, but I don't know of any installation running it for less than $250k. I get the idea of switching from Broadsoft to have service differentiation, but I'd counter with two points. 1) Everyone is using Broadsoft because it works, and 2) if you switch to another licensed platform you'd still be competing with other providers using that platform. So if you are really looking for a unique one of a kind platform you'd probably be better served by rolling your own and partnering/paying Sprint for their WMI platform for your mobile needs.
