Outbound fax portal options
by nelsonh＠socket.net Dec. 17, 2013

Dec. 17, 2013

Similar to the conference server question I posted yesterday, I'm also looking at alternatives to our fax portal server. We have a web portal that we wrote a couple years ago that our customers can use to send faxes. The web portal converts and transfers images to an Asterisk server (version 1.6.2 I think) and then generates call files to make Asterisk send the faxes over T.38. We do not use this service to receive faxes; we just use Broadworks Fax Messaging service for that. We haven't been happy with the function of the portal or the success rate of the outgoing faxes, so I'm looking to replace it with something better integrated and more reliable. So far, I'm looking at faxback carrier edition (I assume we'll have to front it with our web portal to send emails to it or use an API). Does anyone use something else for this that they've been happy with? Thanks again for the answers yesterday. -- Nelson Hicks Network Operations SOCKET (573) 817-0000 ext. 210 nelsonh at socket.net

Transport

The easiest way to start with this type of service is go get a hub ds3 from xo or twtelecom. They sell the hubs per market and or nationwide. There is a point where it makes sense for you to do your own interconnects ect but not at a single ds3 Carlos Alcantar Race Communications / Race Team Member 1325 Howard Ave. #604, Burlingame, CA. 94010 Phone: +1 415 376 3314 / carlos at race.com / http://www.race.com From: David Wessell <david at ringfree.biz<mailto:david at ringfree.biz>> Date: Tuesday, December 10, 2013 at 8:01 PM To: VoiceOps <voiceops at voiceops.org<mailto:voiceops at voiceops.org>> Subject: [VoiceOps] Transport This may fall under the stupid question category.. But where do you find reasonably priced transport for your PRI?s? We?re a hosted Voip vendor so we typically have just ran over whatever ISP?s bandwidth we could find. However more and more we?re asked to supply a PRI or SIP trunk to a customers location. I see other large providers in our area providing this service, and I assume that they must be getting a wholesale price from the ILEC (In our case ATT) on the transport.. But I?ve never made any headway with them. How are these other companies providing PRI + bandwidth for $300-$450 per month? Is there a way to secure cheaper transport?

Anyone from Comcast SIP/telephony on the list? We have an issue where calls for Comcast traversing Level(3) via SIP aren't being dipped for CNAM. It would be great to work this out. Thanks! -- Kristian Kielhofner

Optimizing VoIP orig routing to exploit Verizon VoIP TDM interconnections
by lindsey＠e-c-group.com Dec. 11, 2013

Dec. 11, 2013

I'm trying to plan a US nationwide georedundant SIP interconnect with Verizon for origination and termination. I want to minimize delay between parties, and heuristically I'll pretend people tend to talk more to other people who are local. So it seems smart to get my "western" origination traffic to my Western SBC primarily, and my "eastern" traffic to my Eastern SBC. Does anyone have a good method for deciding which side of the country it makes sense to send traffic to? For example, when I port a Minneapolis number to Verizon, is it any better to have Verizon send it west, or east? Or does it make no difference at all? My current method is simply to use the Mississippi River. But I'll bet if I had full visibility into Verizon's network and their TDM local access tandem interconnects, the answer might be different. >>> mark at ecg.co +12293160013 http://ecg.co/lindsey

Hey you operators, I'm researching conferencing solutions that scale well into the tens of millions of minutes per month. If you have experience with conference servers at this scale, I'd appreciate your input.

PRI Gateway Supporting 1 - 3 PRI's

Hey VoiceOps, I was looking for some recommendations for a SIP-PRI Gateway that supports at least 1 PRI connecting back to the clients PBX. I've seen Adtrans are popular, but we don't have any experience with them yet. Thanks, Keith

Conference server options

Hello, I've checked and it looks like it's been a couple years since this question came up. We are running Broadworks, have a third-party conference server that we use to offer teleconference to our customers, and are considering replacing it. I have pricing for the Broadworks conferencing licenses, but wanted to see what other options anyone could suggest looking at. Thanks, -- Nelson Hicks Network Operations SOCKET (573) 817-0000 ext. 210 nelsonh at socket.net

What has your experience been with Freeswitch in EC2 from a media handling perspective? Can you share any density numbers you might have achieved? I have generally shied away from virtualizing anything media handling for clocking reasons. On 12/04/2013 03:43 PM, James Jones wrote: > My choices are in this order: > > 1. Freeswitch > 2.
