The leader in session border control for trusted, first class interactive communications
Customer case study • Fortune 50 company converted traditional PSTN voice environment to IP • Consolidated 600 disparate PBXs under common management and control platform • Connected platforms into their SIP trunk services • Reduced telephony OpEx by 66% ($12M) annually • Returned capital expense within nine months
Understanding PRI toll and access charges • Access fees reduced • Local outbound toll charges eliminated • LD outbound toll charges eliminated • On-net calls delivered for free • Long distance calls can be routed to local termination point and delivered as local calls PRI and SIP Trunk Charge Comparison Customer’s Before and After Comparison
Understanding access fees • SIP Trunk Access Fees • SIP Trunk monthly access fee for customer is $34/Mo. • No other charges as that fee eliminates local and long distance charges • SIP Trunks sold in units of one • PRI Access Fees • Range from $35 to $52/month and that fee does not include local or long distance charges • Most PRIs are significantly under-utilized since they are generally sold in bundles of 23 usable channels • Recent sampling of customers showed on average their PRI connections running at 40% capacity • Effective unit cost 40% utilized PRI interface is $87 • This means every PRI converted to a SIP trunk will save $53/mo.
Understanding access fees • PRI under-utilization adds up • Customer A has 92K PRI concurrent call capacity but only needs 27.6K • Customer B has 57.5K PRI concurrent call capacity but only needs 28.7K • Customer C has 11.5K PRI concurrent call capacity but only needs 2.8K • Annual savings in all cases is substantial PRI utilization data from three different size customers
Reduced toll charges • SIP trunks bring added cost savings • Move from PRI to SIP trunks reduces long distance and local toll charges • Customer toll charge reductions are almost half of their total savings
