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 ParaBill?

ParaBill is recognized as the first Open Source Billing and Customer Care solution available for commercial use, designed to support traditional telecom and communication services as well as innovative content-based charging models. We provide a range of tailored services to fulfill your unique needs, such as training, feature enhancement, and help with installation and configuration. The development process initially encountered challenges due to shifting market conditions, which ultimately resulted in a transfer of ownership in 2006 from Parabell AB back to its original developers. This strategic change was focused on the goal of eventually releasing ParaBill as an Open Source platform. In May 2006, the inaugural public version of ParaBill was successfully introduced as an Open Source solution, representing a crucial turning point in its development journey. This release greatly improved user accessibility and encouraged the establishment of a collaborative community dedicated to the ongoing enhancement of the software. As a result, ParaBill not only became more widely adopted but also evolved through collective contributions and feedback, solidifying its place in the market.

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.
