What is PortaSwitch?
PortaSwitch brings together Class 4/5 SIP softswitch capabilities (PortaSIP) and a convergent, real-time Online Charging System (PortaBilling) within one unified Service Management and Delivery Platform. Telecom operators, ISPs, MVNOs, and UCaaS providers use it to roll out, operate, and generate revenue from voice, messaging, IoT/M2M, and data services.
Core features:
- Fund-locking mechanism built into real-time billing to stop balances from being exceeded;
- SIP-based call routing through a Class 4/5 softswitch, with support for IP Centrex/Cloud PBX;
- Multi-site geo-redundancy delivering automatic failover and update-related uptime with no service interruption;
- An open, API-driven architecture (REST) with unlimited-license customers getting full source code access.
Deployment is flexible: a one-time unlimited license (billed per installation rather than by subscriber volume) or a usage-based monthly SaaS subscription, hosted on-premise or through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Price Overview:
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.
