Troubleshooting SMS Delivery
by beckman＠angryox.com Sept. 23, 2015

Sept. 23, 2015

I'm having trouble with a very specific SMS deliverability issue. I've built a little system that tests all of my DIDs to ensure SMS deliverability and measure round-trip time. 1. I have 3 DIDs from Carrier A; LRN says Bandwidth.com. Used as Test Source DIDs. 2. I have 20-30 DIDs from Carrier B: that do not receive SMS messages sent from #1 DIDs; These DIDs LRN says Bandwidth.com. Used as Test Destination DIDs. 3. SMS messages sent from Carrier A DID to Carrier B DID are never received Bandwidth won't talk to me about this issue because the DIDs involved are not in my account. Frustrating, but understandable. The question that I can't seem to get either direct carrier to answer is who is in the middle. Carrier A reported: "Our SMS carrier investigated the SMS delivery issue to the numbers you reported and confirmed that they are routing the messages correctly but these are intentionally not being delivered to the TN's (Terminating Numbers) by the terminating carriers. They say that if any of these receiving parties are stating that they should be receiving any messages, they will need to reach out to their provider." Well, _I_ am the receiving party, and despite tickets open with both carriers for 3 weeks, I'm getting no where. Carrier A won't tell me what carrier is "intentionally not" delivering SMS messages. Anyone on list have any insight?

WiFi SIP phones recommendations

Hello All, I'm looking to implement 6-10 WIFI phones for a 3 floor restaurant using unifi AP-PRO's. i'm not sure if they are using zero handoff on the AP's, but i'm sure they can implement, if they need to. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a good (and simple) SIP Wifi hadsets. we wanted to use a yealink w52, but because the repeaters only support one base, it wont work for this implementation. Customer is coming off a call manager with Cisco 7925s, which are really solid, but we can't support them. Thx Shri

You can't compare home range with commercial range. Many commercial buildings have far more challenging environments as far as noise and blocking surfaces. Going from one floor to another is always worse than horizontal range for a variety of reasons. For example, antennas are generally oriented to spread signal horizontally, but not vertically. The higher the dB gain, the more true this is. My best guess is that a DECT base probably has a 3dB antenna, which means 3dB more power to the sides as to the top. Every 3dB is a doubling of the power, because it's a logarithmic scale. Most commercial buildings employee concrete/rebar between floors, unlike the simple wood in most homes. Both of those are terrible for radio signals. I've covered single-story 2k square foot restaurants with DECT, but they could barely make the phone work when going next door to their offices in another suite. In a commercial office environment I've found that roaming floors with DECT was a total failure. > > > On Tue, Sep 8, 2015 at 12:49 PM Alex Balashov <abalashov at evaristesys.com> > wrote: > >> On 09/08/2015 03:35 PM, Carlos Alvarez wrote: >> >> > The challenge with DECT is that "range" is relative to a single base >> > station/AP versus roaming between base stations/APs. >> >> Also: just how much range do you need in a restaurant, unless the >> restaurant in question is the residence of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al >> Maktoum? >> >> You and I both have Plantronics CSxxx DECT headsets and the range is >> very impressive.

Have you looked at the Aastra/Mitel SIP DECT system? They have a reasonably priced DECT system that allows roaming between access points and 8 simultaneous voice channels per access point. http://www.mitel.com/mitel-sip-dect We deployed the Aastra system a number of years ago and it worked really well.

ADT Alarms Special Dialing?
by colton.conor＠gmail.com Aug. 28, 2015

Aug. 28, 2015

We are a CLEC and have a had a couple of customers port away from Verizon's landline service and to our voice service where we provided an analog POTS line with the same number just as the client had before with Verizon. We hook the POTS line up to the exact same wire going to the client's alarm panel, but the alarm can't communicate with ADT. We called ADT on multiple clients behalfs, and they basically said Verizon is on an approved list to work with their services and our CLEC is not, so it would not work. How is ADT limiting this? Does their alarm panels dial a special number that only Verizon knows or allows? This has happened with multiple clients. We have not been able to get on the voice switch and see what numbers they panel is actually trying to dial, but any insight to this would be helpful. I have read that some alarm companies uses a special code before they make an outbound call so the long distance gets billed to them or something?

Hardware transcoding solutions?
by bbridges＠o1.com Aug. 28, 2015

Aug. 28, 2015

We have several existing solutions for 729<->711 and DTMF transcoding, but they are either horribly expensive and not very scalable from a licensing perspective, or are chewing up a buttload of power in our facilities. What is the current "best option" out there for a 1 to 4 U hardware (ASIC driven?) transcoding solution? I've looked at the Sangoma NetBorder box already.
