Softswitch

Routing, peering, CDR, and operational foundations for wholesale and retail voice softswitches.

We design and configure softswitch environments for wholesale and retail voice—routing logic, security, CDR visibility, and the operational dashboards your team needs to change routes without guessing. Suitable for open-source stacks and vendor softswitches depending on your roadmap.

From $2,999

Who it’s for

  • VoIP carriers and aggregators
  • Call-center platforms with complex routing
  • Teams modernizing undocumented legacy switches

Problems we address

  • Routing is tribal knowledge locked in a few engineers
  • Fraud and route quality issues are hard to diagnose
  • Changes feel risky because rollback is unclear

Expected outcomes

  • Documented routing policy and switch configuration
  • Security hardening and monitoring baselines
  • Ops runbooks for change windows and incident response

FAQ

Yes—vendor softswitches and open-source stacks depending on your roadmap and access to the platform.

Not always, but for brownfield systems an audit usually reduces cutover risk and clarifies scope.
