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.

2015 Softswitch
by colton.conor＠gmail.com Nov. 21, 2015

Nov. 21, 2015

I am still on the search for a 2015 grade multi-tenant soft-switch. Something that can compete with Vonage Business, Switch.co, and other newer innovative phone services. Here are the requirements I am looking for, so if anyone knows of something that fits this bill please let me know: 1. Has the ability to support SMS and MMS already. I am tired of so many softswitch vendors saying they are adding SMS or MMS as a coming soon item. It is 2015 people. SMS has been around since as long as I can remember. Most of the large wholesalers (bandwidth.com, Level3) support SMS, and some are supporting MMS. Not only should the softswitch support it, but they should have some way to allow the user to send and view these messages. 2. Supports call recording on both the inbound and outbound side. Should be able to see call recording through the web interface. Web interface for overall platform should be user friendly, and hopefully HTML5 based. 3. Supports Music on hold where you can upload multiple files. It can play these files in random order like a radio station. 4. Supports the OPUS codec and VP8 for WebRTC capabilities. Hopefully already has WebRTC capabilities. 5. Has a device provisioner where we can modify the XML files for each device at the global, group, or seat level. So many of our customers have special needs, and a one size fits all device template simply will not cut it. We should be able to reboot phones remotely, and push firmware. 6. Built in faxing support. 7. Voice Quality Monitoring built in. Should show MOS scores, Jitter, Packet Loss, for each call through the platform. 8. Busy Lamp field integration. 9. Some sort for mobile integration (beyond just call forwarding) for mobile employees who don't want a desk phone. This can be apps for smartphones, or something else. Most vendors say well our softswitch is SIP compliant so you can use the 1000's of apps that support SIP already. That will not cut it. 10. All the advanced features one would expect out of any modern hosted PBX offering. Auto attendants, call forwarding, time of day rules, voicemail to email, etc.. Does this simply not exist and I am asking for too much? Each of these are things my clients are requesting for.

Need service provider to transfer numbers to.
by nanog＠wjp.net Nov. 2, 2015

Nov. 2, 2015

I know this is more of an operations mailing list, but I have recently left a company that has routed my phone numbers for the past 10+ years (as an employee.) Does anyone know of a company that can port 10 individual numbers, two 800 numbers, and 200 DID numbers for a low cost and offers: - Cheap or low cost porting fees. - Forwarding of a single number to multiple destinations (ring all, first one that answers gets the call) - Voicemail to email on a number - Flat rate or low per minute fees. = Web portal to change routing and/or destination numbers. - SIP destination for certain numbers. These have been personal numbers for many years, just looking for a service provider who can help me keep my phone numbers for the lowest cost possible. thanks bill

For a small CLEC what are some options for getting some of our customers to directory assistance? Got a few customers who must still dial 411 and I don't know where to send those calls. Thanks! Adam Vocks CTI Fiber

Hi list, we have a couple hundreds of US DIDs in NY and LA to give-away for free due to an over-commitment. The available capacity is about 800 concurrent calls. Regards Markus

2015 Softswitch
by rostvold＠gmail.com Oct. 28, 2015

Oct. 28, 2015

Currently managing a Netsapiens deployment, I can say that the platform includes all of these components today, with the exception of SMS/MMS integration. SMS/MMS, I am told, is scheduled for the next major release expected early Q1 2016. The other features you should be asking for are: 1. A robust geo-redundancy mechanism with support for 3 or more active nodes. 2. Tight SBC integration or an integrated SBC. 3. A flexible development team that takes input from its user community and can deliver on minor feature tweaks and major feature sets. I guarantee you will have new requests and requirements from customers if you poll them next year. You shouldn't be looking for a 2015 Softswitch, but a platform that can keep up with 2016, 2017, etc. We migrated from a Broadsoft deployment to Netsapiens 6 years ago and have never regretted the decision. > *From:* VoiceOps [mailto:voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org] *On Behalf Of *Colton > Conor > *Sent:* Wednesday, October 28, 2015 9:55 AM > *To:* voiceops at voiceops.org > *Subject:* [VoiceOps] 2015 Softswitch > > > > I am still on the search for a 2015 grade multi-tenant soft-switch. > Something that can compete with Vonage Business, Switch.co, and other newer > innovative phone services. > > > > Here are the requirements I am looking for, so if anyone knows of > something that fits this bill please let me know: > > > > 1.

Broadsoft to Netsapiens
by colton.conor＠gmail.com Oct. 21, 2015

Oct. 21, 2015

Wondering if anyone has made the transition from a Broadsoft platform to a Netsapiens platform? If so, was wondering what Broadsoft has if anything that Netsapiens does not? Overall I am very impressed with the Netsapiens platform, but I am unsure what is missing in their platform. Is there anything that Netsapiens does not do well that Broadsoft does or vice versa?
