 |
Features
The following key features
are included in the PoyaData VoIP Softswitch
Solution. |
|
|
|
|
|
The
PoyaData VoIP
Softswitch Solution uses an internal RADIUS
server for AAA (Accounting, Authorization, and
Authentication) procedures. This internal AAA
RADIUS module guarantees the highest Softswitch
performance and outstanding billing functionality. |
|
|
|
|
PoyaData has a SIP proxy server which handles
all of the signalling for SIP devices.
Based on the proxy settings the server will
choose what carrier the SIP device will use.
It will also hide the IP address of the sender
from the IP address of the receiver providing
extra security to the sender. PoyaData Session
Border Controller act as a complete proxy for
both Media and Signalling Packets and includes
the following features:
-
SIP and H323 Compatible
-
Support protocol conversion (SIP to H323 and
H323 to SIP)
-
Support all available codecs: G729,G723, G711 a,
G711 u , H264, H264 (Pass-thru Mode)
-
Support all DTMF Mode (In-band, Out-band,
RFC2833)
-
User Defined Caller-ID
-
SIP Port modification |

This server is responsible for authentication
and registration of SIP clients. The
clients come with SIP username and SIP password
and will be authorized by the server to make a
call if they have funds available in their
account. This SIP server keeps track of Local /
Public IP-Addresses therefore there is no need
for a STUN server.

SIP AAA
(Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) is an
essential part of the PoyaData Softswitch which keeps
track of each SIP client and their services (i.e.
Voicemail, Video Over IP, …), account management (i.e.
surcharges that may apply), and to keep records of the
cost of the calls made. |
|
|
|
|
This
feature allows multiple users to be logged in at the
same time with different levels of access. This
enables providers to set user level access to the system
so a customer agent can only see their CDR (Call Detail
Record) or a supervisor can create customer agents but
cannot change rates or dialling plans. All of
these permissions can be customizable to suit the needs
of the agent. |
|
|
|
|
For each
Pre-paid wholesale or pre-paid SIP customer a trigger
limit can be created to inform the client when their
balance goes below a certain amount. This alert is
sent out via email automatically and the message can be
customized. |
|
|
|
|
There is no
limitation for the number of SIP clients that can be
created in the system. This allows all PoyaData
customers to grow exponentially as they add more
customers to their Softswitch. |
|
|
|
|
There can
be unlimited number of end-point carriers that are
defined in the system. Customers can have multiple
carriers and take advantage of the best prices/quality
from each of their providers. Customers can also use
Fail-Over feature. |
|
|
|
|
This
flexible dialling plan allows fail-over carrier
redundancy, so if a call fails to connect, the system
will try again with another carrier. Additionally,
the Hunt-Stop Feature will stop the call from trying
additional carriers once a defined carrier has been
tried. For example, if a customer has 3 carriers,
but one carrier’s buying rates are more expensive than
the selling price for certain destinations, the PoyaData
system can be configured to send calls to the first 2
carriers and then stop to avoid losing funds. |

PoyaData
Softswitch handles both media and signalling packets.
This means that all customers, including clients behind
the NAT, will be able to send calls through the
Softswitch even if there are any changes in the
local/public IP addresses of the media and signalling
packets. |
|
|
|
|
This
feature does not limit the number of different selling
or buying packages. They can be set up on the
system allowing flexibility for different types of
end-point carriers and customers. |
|
|
|
|
System
owners can establish different packages with
customizable rates. For example, with a 30 by 6
resolution, the caller will be charged for the first 30
seconds regardless of the talk time. In this
scenario, after the first 30 seconds, the caller will be
charged in 6 second increments. |
|
|
|
|
is an
enhanced reporting tool which enables providers to
easily manage their business. The CDR report
allows users to view call details, cost, profit and
duration of each call. |
|
|
|
|
The ASR
report is very useful when evaluating the quality of
termination providers. The report measures call
duration based on carriers, destination, and more.
The report then produces a percentage of the calls being
terminated by the system which can help providers
determine how effectively end-point carriers are
terminating their calls. |
|
|
|
|
The ACD
report measures call duration based on carriers or
destinations. This produces a report indicating
how long customers are on the phone for then produces a
time value of how well the end-point carriers are
performing in terminating the calls. |

|
|
Produces
reports based on individual users’ status, usage,
balance and other call details. |
|
|
|
|
Allows
providers to view live calls going through the platform.
PoyaData’ monitoring tool displays who is making the
call and to what destination, the codec being used and
any other information relevant to the call. |
|
|
|
|
Produces a
Java applet that shows the logs for all unauthorized
attempts on the platform. Security features of the
Softswitch will reject any unauthorized login attempt;
however a log will be available for system
administrators to check the IP address of the
unauthorized source. |
|
|
|
|
Supports
both SIP and H323 protocols for end-point carriers.
The Softswitch will automatically assign the correct
port for each protocol. This can also be changed
manually to any port requested by the end point carrier. |
|
|
|
|
The VoIP
Softswitch Solution views the incoming protocol being
used and looks at the outgoing protocol being requested
and then changes the protocols required without any
disruption of call quality. This feature allows
the system to link calls between VoIP providers using
incompatible protocols. |
