VoIP Termination Solution

Business Opportunity

The US initiated telecom deregulation in mid 1990s and the rapid development of Voice-over-IP technology in early 2000s lead to major changes in the telecom industry. A traditionally monopolized sector, telecom suddenly opened up for competition and many new providers aggressively entered the market. Because most new providers utilized VoIP technology the demand for converting between VoIP and PSTN networks arose. That demand gave birth to the VoIP termination business model.

The VoIP Termination business model offers an easy entry point into the lucrative market for VoIP services. The business model is based on establishing physical points of presence (POP) in multiple geographical areas. Each POP is equipped with gateways, which receive VoIP calls in the form of data packets, convert them to analog signals and sends them to the local PSTN network (call termination). VoIP termination typically appeals to ISPs with established POPs, entrepreneurs who want to enter the VoIP market, and VoIP carriers.

• SM7000 connects the call to the PSTN network.
