VoIP Softswitch

A VoIP softswitch is a telephone network component that can connect calls from one protocol (PSTN) to another (VoIP) entirely by software instead of a traditional hardware switching center. NACT offers telecommunications solutions that improve softswitch technology and make your networks more efficient and productive.

With a VoIP softswitch a provider can manage carrier class servers that control connections between PSTN and IP networks. With NACT's solutions you can easily manage traffic that carries voice, fax, data, and video information at a cost that is significantly less than local phone switches. And by integrating the IRIS hosted billing solution, you can offer VoIP or other solutions on a single invoice, and create your own revenue streams.

Using a Softswitch The VoIP softswitch was created as a software based alternative to the standard hardware switching system because they take up much less space, significantly reduce costs, and usually have an open API (Application Program Interface). They allow point-to-point communications without direct connections at every node, and are completely scalable, allowing your network to grow as your company does.

By using a VoIP softswitch instead of a traditional switching service you can more efficiently manage your networks, reduce your handling costs, and boost the capacity of incoming lines by offloading data to the IP network. The addition of a VoIP softswitch also prepares you for future expansions because you can:

  • Easily include value added offerings
  • Roll out new services easily and quickly
  • Leverage your existing database
  • Allow for easy expansion
  • Evolve networks through distributed architecture
