Re: [VoiceOps] Sprint Routing/Translations contact?

2017-01-20 Thread Carlos Alcantar
we found opening a ticket as a sprint customer to be the fastest way to get 
anything resolved with mobile companies.  We have gotten to the point of just 
having a mobile phone from every major provider for this purpose.  We have seen 
some really obscure issues like it will work from los angeles but not from san 
francisco, it becomes a real pain.

Subject: [VoiceOps] Sprint Routing/Translations contact?

We have a customer who has a number that their customers that are on Sprint
cell phones (and also other CDMA providers who are roaming on Sprint) can't
call. They get a message "Message 12, Switch 2410" and a request to try again
later. Other Sprint callers can reach other numbers on our network just fine.
The calls to this number from Sprint callers never reach our switch.

Our customer has asked their customers who are having this trouble to try to
put tech support tickets in to see if they can get resolution that way. Does
anyone know of any other contact or way to get a resolution to this?

Thanks

A lot of it goes into literally 4 companies working together to have

Subject: Re: [VoiceOps] 2015 Softswitch



To be fair, what you are describing is not really a softswitch but a suite of 
applications that happens to be built around a switching platform. There are 
some vendors that handle parts of this well, Cisco HCS can provide a full UC 
suite including call control, multi-party video, IM, desktop/content sharing, 
delivers it all through the same Jabber interface on your desktop, phone, or 
tablet and has a beautifully simple user portal, at least in 10.x and up. 
Broadsoft has UC-One which provides basically the same feature set through a 
unified interface, though the portal is lacking.



When it comes to some of the ancillary services though, it doesn’t make sense 
for a solution vendor to start looking at developing a full fax or call 
recording solution when RightFax and Hylfax, and whatever else already exist. 
Most of them stick to what they are good at – call control and features. If 
they need to provide video they buy a company, Tandberg for example. They want 
to add desktop sharing, buy WebEx. This is how Broadsoft acquired most (maybe 
all?) the constituent components of UC-One as well.



If you start looking under the hood at any of the SPs that you mentioned I 
would venture to say that you would find a bunch of discrete systems, 
Broadworks or Asterisk for call control and features, Hylafax or Right Fax for 
faxing, an open source SMS gateway, etc. with a bunch of “glue” tying them 
together via APIs and a bespoke user interface to present a unified view to the 
customer, all tied into the providers BSS/OSS systems.  That “glue” and UI is 
what is unique to each SP and is what turns a pile of boxes into a “solution”. 
It also allows you to add features and functionality easily when the next great 
app comes along, and prevents you from being tied to any one solution vendor. 
Hylafax doesn’t work out? Trash it and switch to XYZ fax, your custom UI 
obfuscates the change from the customer and they never know.



I’ve said this before, 99% of all Broadworks shops sell the same exact product. 
Whatever comes out of the box, with the crappy BW portal, using Polycom phones 
but taking no advantage of any of the advanced features that are available. I 
really think that in the next few years that providers who are not offering a 
full UC experience for their customers and not doing anything to 
differentiate their products will start faltering. That innovative product 
suite is what providers will need in order to be competitive in the future.



Let’s be honest, If you and I both sell Broadworks and you have a feature pack 
called “Premium” and I have one called “Executive” but they offer the same 
features and the only difference is price, then we are fully commoditized and 
can only compete on cost. Providing more services to your customer than your 
competitor is able to adds value and provides stickiness. Having a unique and 
differentiated product allows you to move the conversation away from cost, and 
towards the value that you can bring your customer.



All that being said, I think you have a great list of features and an a good 
start because you are looking to model some of the companies that are already 
doing this successfully. I do think that you are asking too much if you are 
looking for a sole sourced solution.  But, if you have the time, capital, and 
people you can certainly go out and find the best of breed for each component 
and then integrate them into your own unique platform.

 Hello,
 We having been utilizing Grandstream ATAs (HT70X and GXW400X) as analog
 hand offs with our Hosted Services built on the Broadworks platform and
 Sansay's SBC.  We've had regular trouble when using them with fax and
credit
 card machines.  We support t38 but have often gone to g711
pass-through.
 Echo cancellation is disabled. We've tested them with the various
jitter
 buffer lengths, Rx/Tx setting adjustments and various impedance
values.  The
 results seem very inconsistent.  This is site to site as well as
 inconsistent results at the same site.  The faxing/credit card
transmissions
 will work for a period of time and then begin failing without any
changes.

 We are a CLEC who control the QoS from device out to the PSTN. We've
found
 that replacing the ATA with a Adtran TA90X usually corrects the issues
but
 this is not a cost effective solution.

 Anyone have similar experiences with Grandstream ATAs?  Anyone have
 reliable VoIP faxing with their ATAs? If anyone has been successful
 integrating the Grandstreams, I would be interested in knowing what
config
 changes you've made from their default.  Which models you've used with
which
 firmware?

 Anyone have other ATA's that seem to work well for faxing and credit
card
 machines?  We'd like to keep our offering to as few manufacturers as
 possible that can offer 2, 4, 8+ FXS ports.

 Thanks for any and all recommendations.
