SIP Trunking

By taking advantage of the IPsmarx SIP Trunking Solution, origination providers can deliver SIP-based DID numbers, also known as “virtual phone numbers”, to VoIP Service Providers, Call Centers, Corporations, and Calling Card Operators.

With flexible package billing options, origination providers can offer bundled DID packages, such as 5 North American Phone Numbers with 24 Channels for one flat monthly fee, or sell DID numbers individually. Origination providers have the option to offer one or more channels with every DID number and charge per month, per minute, or per call. For more details, click here.

Least Cost Routing

By taking advantage of automatic Least Cost Routing, carriers can ensure that their calls are always being routed to the lowest cost provider. The IPsmarx solution will automatically scan imported rate tables each time a call is attempted and route the call to the provider with the lowest cost for that specific destination. Advanced carrier selection allows the administrator to select the carriers to be used by the LCR feature.

Reseller Management

With the IPsmarx Unified Reseller Management modules, Administrators can sign up resellers to promote any of their VoIP services. Administrators can define their own reseller program and set permissions, such as sharing or limiting access to the different services they can offer, re-assigning customers to different resellers and allowing resellers to add funds to customers' accounts. There are four types of reseller modules available within the IPsmarx platform, allowing Administrators the flexibility to define their own unique reseller program.

Usage Based Reseller Module

A Usage Based Reseller will get compensated through a commission structure set up by the Administrator. This commission can be based on a percentage or a flat rate or both and the commission can be based on long distance calls as they are placed or at the end of the monthly bill. The Usage Based reseller will be able to login to their own interface to manage their customer accounts, but they can only use the service selling rates assigned to them by the Administrator when registering a new account. Reports like CDR, Commission and Balance report can be also available to them if the Administrator has allowed it. If the Administrator allows it, resellers will be able to see and manage each other’s customer accounts. Resellers can also sign up their own subagents. 


Payment Based Reseller Module

A Payment Based Reseller will receive compensation through commission set up by the Administrator. This commission can be based on a percentage or a flat rate or both and will be applied as soon as the reseller’s customers add money to their account balance. The Payment Based Reseller will be able to login to their own interface to manage their customer accounts; they can only use the service selling rates assigned to them by the Administrator when registering a new account. Reports like CDR, Commission and Balance report can be also available to them if the Administrator has allowed it. If Administrator allows it, his resellers will be able to see and manage each other’s customers’ accounts. Resellers can also sign up their own subagents. 


White Label Reseller Module

Using this module, Rate Based Resellers (white label resellers) have the flexibility to define selling rates for their customers and agents, and their agents are able to define their own selling rates for their customers. This module allows the reseller to set up their own selling rates based on predefined buying rates. The Rate Based Reseller will be able to login to their own interface to manage their customer accounts and create their own service selling rates. Reports, such as CDR, ASR, ACD and Customer Report are also available to them as well as invoicing (as long as the Administrator has this feature enabled). This type of reseller traditionally has their own brand, company name, and logo that is displayed on their own website.  


Pinless Reseller Module

The Pinless Reseller module is available to compliment the Payment Based Reseller module. Resellers can utilize this module to sign up customer accounts or recharge customer’s account balance by just retrieving a customer’s phone number and the number they registered will be automatically assigned to the pinless feature. The pinless reseller module offers the advantage of faster registration for when resellers are located in a fast paced customer service environment, such as a convenience or grocery store. The Administrator will have access to the Pinless recharge report for details about total amount recharged per pinless reseller, profit and other information. 

Reseller E-store

This feature enables your resellers to have their own branded website. They can display their own logo and their customers can use this complete E-commerce solution to sign up and pay for their services.

Redundancy

Redundancy is a key component in a fully-featured Softswitch.  The Softswitch must continue functioning at full capacity in the event the primary Softswitch is rendered unavailable.  In the event of a natural disaster, the importance of individual, business and government communications become more critical as the chance of failure to the communications infrastructure increases. 

IPsmarx has created a solution to this problem by deploying an intelligent fully-redundant Class 5 Softswitch offering continuous replication for unmatched resiliency and reliability without user intervention. For more information please click here.

Callback Module

With this feature, service providers can offer ANI, PIN, and Web Callback services. For more information please click here.

Direct DID

DID (Direct Inward Dialing) is an emerging technology that has created new business opportunities for service providers.  With the IPsmarx Direct DID Solution calls forward the DID directly to the IPsmarx Softswitch.  The Softswitch initiates a PSTN based call and directs the call to PSTN or GSM based destinations, without routing through an IP phone.  The calls are placed using a landline phone eliminating the need for an IP phone or internet access.  Additionally, service providers can provide international calls at local rates. For more information please click here.

Calling Card Module

By adding the IPsmarx SIP Based Calling Card Module to the Softswitch, service providers may offer calling card and PINless dialing services. For more information about this award-winning solution and other business models support by the IPsmarx calling card module, please click here

Multi-Dial Plan Module

With the Multi-Dial plan feature, you can have multiple dial plans that are each assigned to a particular service you offer. For example, you could offer two different tiers of VoIP service - a “Premium” quality service and a “Regular” quality service. Each route is able to offer different qualities, yet remain part of the same overall dial plan. This could also be used when testing new carriers, ensuring live traffic routes are uninterrupted.
