VoIPSwitch - VoIP Services Platform

The VoIP Softswitch for starting ITSPs

IP Softswitch is a platform that allows to implement various types of Voice Over the Internet Protocol (VOIP) services, with retaining shared, uniform management interface. The feature that distinguishes this platform is the implementation of an integrated, embedded billing system that cooperates with SQL – MS SQL or MySQL databases’ servers.

This solution results in the simplicity of preparing the system, by the operator, to be fully functional for providing services and also for administrating it in the future.

Softswitch is the main element of the platform, which merges the functionality of the following VOIP architecture’s elements:

- H323 switch
- H323 gatekeeper
- SIP Proxy
- SIP registrar

Each of the described elements can operate simultaneously with the others. Moreover, the clients, regardless of the protocol, or the way they transfer connections, can connect between one another. This option allows connecting the networks, which because of the differences in implemented protocols or dialects inside the particular protocol, cannot directly transfer connection between one another. Implementing VoipSwitch as a central traffic controller also introduces a number of additional management, supervision and network security facilitations. Interop tested with AudioCodes Mediant1000 and Mediant 2000 lines of Digital gateways.

Product can be shipped installed on ABP's new ZT Servers.

VoIPSwitch is distributed in the Americas by ABP International, Inc.
