Call Management

Unlimited Shared Virtual Call Paths

Virtual Call Paths are used to deliver calls to and from the PSTN to either hosted end points or SIP trunks. They are shared/ “pooled” by all end points on a given customer Cloud PBX, regardless of location.

Pooled Call Paths across the Enterprise

Customers can purchase any number of call paths to suit their needs, with the only limiting factors being cost & bandwidth consumption (typically 80Kbs per call).

Burstable Virtual Call Paths

The Call Paths are also “burstable” meaning you can configure the Cloud PBX to give extra call paths “on-demand” to deliver additional calls beyond the number of paths purchased, up to 10 additional paths. The system will automatically track and bill the customer for the extra call paths. They will have use of the additional call paths for the remainder of the of the billing period.

Standard SIP Trunk

A standard SIP trunk delivers calls to the premise equipment and acts like a CO line. If the SIP end point is offline or cannot be contacted by our system, our system issues BUSY signals to the incoming callers.

An enhanced SIP trunk delivers calls to the premise equipment and acts like a CO line. If the SIP end point is offline or cannot be contacted by our system, our system provides an alternative predefined route for the incoming calls. Examples are routing calls to an Auto Attendant, other SIP trunks (at other locations), voicemail box, or a Find-Me Follow-Me sequence. This disaster recovery feature is extremely powerful and flexible.
