About

The telecom market has changed dramatically over the past decade with mobile devices, over-the-top communication services such as video streaming, the Internet of Things (IoT) and a moderation in demand for traditional voice services, all acting as major industry disruptors. As IoT and 5G become even more prevalent, the complexities of telecom billing and operations will continue to increase. To stay competitive and grow with the market, Communications Service Providers (CSPs) will need to replace legacy billing systems with convergent billing systems that offer greater flexibility and cost-saving efficiencies. With an easy-to-use convergent billing system like CostGuard, you can increase business efficiency by using a single platform for billing, rating, invoicing and collection across all types of customers, markets or service lines. You can also launch brand new products, services and pricing models faster than your competition.

About

PortaSwitch combines Class 4/5 soft switching (PortaSIP) and real-time billing with online charging (PortaBilling) on one platform. Wholesale carriers, MVNOs, ITSPs, and UCaaS/voice providers use it to run voice, messaging, IoT/M2M, and data traffic under a single BSS+OCS stack. Key capabilities: - Open REST API and self-service rate and plan changes, no vendor release needed - Real-time prepaid and postpaid charging with balance tracking and fund-locking - SIP routing sized for wholesale concurrent-call volumes, plus Cloud PBX/IP Centrex - White-label wholesale and reseller layers - Multi-site geo-redundancy with automatic failover - Full source code access - Migration without interrupting live subscribers PortaSwitch is sold as a perpetual license not tied to subscriber count or as a monthly SaaS subscription based on billable events. It deploys on-premise, on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, or hybrid, scaling across as many servers as capacity requires.

Pricing

PortaSwitch can be deployed either in an on-premises private cloud installation with a license, or in a public cloud as a service

The PortaSwitch unlimited perpetual license does not depend on the number of subscribers or concurrent calls but rather covers an installation of a predefined number of instances and servers. The pricing of PortaSwitch in a cloud under SaaS model depends on the maximal capacity used during the month of service.
