What is PortaSwitch?

PortaSwitch is a unified platform for telecom operators that pairs a Class 4/5 softswitch (PortaSIP) with a real-time billing and online charging engine (PortaBilling). Carriers in wholesale, MVNOs, ITSPs, and UCaaS or voice service providers use one BSS+OCS stack to manage their voice, messaging, data, and IoT/M2M services. An open REST API connects it easily to external systems. What operators get: - Self-managed tariffs and service plans: launch new rates or bundles yourself, without depending on vendor update schedules - Online charging for both prepaid and postpaid customers, including wallet and balance management and fund reservation that stops users from overspending - SIP routing on a Class 4/5 switch built to handle high wholesale call concurrency, with hosted PBX and IP Centrex services for business customers - Reseller and wholesale tiers that can run under your own brand - Automatic failover between geographically separate sites - Complete source code, provided with an unlimited license - Switch from your current platform while existing subscribers stay online Pricing comes in two models: a perpetual license paid once, with no cap on subscriber numbers, or a monthly SaaS plan charged per billable event. Deployment options include your own data center, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, or a mix of both. Instead of a fixed minimum server count, switching and billing components scale out to whatever number of servers your call volume and redundancy targets call for.

What is CostGuard?

Over the last ten years, the telecommunications sector has undergone significant transformations. The rise of mobile gadgets, the popularity of over-the-top communication services such as video streaming, and a shift away from conventional voice services have all contributed to this disruption. As technologies like IoT and 5G gain traction, the intricacies of telecom billing are expected to grow even further. To stay competitive and adapt to the evolving landscape, Communications Service Providers (CSPs) must modernize their outdated billing frameworks, adopting convergent systems that deliver enhanced flexibility and cost efficiencies. One such solution is CostGuard, an intuitive convergent billing platform designed for seamless integration across various markets, customer segments, and service offerings. Furthermore, with CostGuard, companies can introduce new products, services, and pricing strategies at a pace that outmatches their rivals. Embracing this innovative approach can be pivotal for CSPs looking to thrive in a rapidly changing environment.

Pricing Information

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.
