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.
