Overview

MediaRing’s Route Management System (RMS) compliments the VoizBridge solution to provide centralized provisioning and management of routing decisions. The RMS allows carriers to optimize call routing to meet business needs by enabling advanced, flexible routing logic via a simple, web-based graphical user interface (GUI).

The RMS eliminates the need to configure routing rules in individual gateways. Using the RMS, carriers can modify, add or delete routing rules from one central location and apply them to individual gateway or groups of gateways. The RMS supports advanced routing rules based on a combination of factors such as cost, time of day, quality of service (QoS) and percentage allocation. Carriers can use these rules to configure the best route for any given call to minimize cost and maximize per minute profit.

The RMS supports dynamic updating of route information. The ability to make route changes on the fly is a critical success factor for carriers in the highly volatile and cost-sensitive wholesale market. In multiple RMS deployment scenarios, automatic data synchronization between RMS servers can be implemented such that any route change in one server can be automatically propagated to the other servers. Together with VoizBridge, the RMS provides a robust and redundant routing architecture.

The routing policies can be provisioned either through an easy-to-use web-based GUI or imported as an XML document.

RMS’ XML data schema is well defined and normalized; it allows for a clean migration of customer’s existing route data and easy integration with customers’ rating and network management systems for direct updating of route priorities based on cost and QoS.”


Key Features

·         Centralized Route Management eliminates complex gateway configuration - facilitating cost effective scaling of carrier networks

·         Flexible routing policies (least cost, time of day, percentage allocation, quality of service, etc. or a combination of) on a per-call basis; enables customer to make optimal call routing decisions driven by business demands.

·         Dynamic route updates - limits network downtime and increases cost efficiency in a carrier network

·        XML data schema allows for easy integration with customers back-office systems; carriers can use their own rating and network management systems to directly update route data e.g. cost, QoS


Specifications

Call Routing Policies

Flexible and comprehensive call routing options based on:

Source (group, calling number, source IP address)
Destination (called number, trunk group, prefix)
Priority
Percentage Allocation
Time of Day
Least Cost
QoS (ASR, latency, post dial delay etc.)
Overflow/Failover
Combination of the above

Call Admission Control

Configuration based on Caller-ID, Calling Party Number, Called Party, Original Access Code and other ISUP parameters

Session classification based on Caller Phone Number, Calling IP Address, Group, Destination Phone Number or Prefix.

Black-lists to prevent unauthorized access to network resources at network level as well as on a per-call basis.

Flexible number translation rules
