lot of profit in start . Most people will need ISP license to start
termination and getting it is not easy unless you do lot of
investment .

I would like to implement a2billing for calling card business. I would like to know the concurrent call limitation by asterisk2billing that is 120?

Pretty sure that's not a limitation - its just a number.

100-ish concurrent calls is a very comfortable figure to use as a capacity for a single Asterisk box. So that's probably where the number comes from.

But once calls are established, A2Billing calls are just like any other Asterisk call. So if your platform can do 300 to 400 calls then so will A2B.

The number of calls Asterisk will do depends on lots of factors - transcoding is a biggie.

Re: [asterisk-biz] India TRAI Press Release legalizing VOIP

Yes indeed!!
This is some really fabulous but much-needed and quite-delayed news from India.
With a market as huge as India, to say that there will be multitude of tremendous opportunities is an understatement.
More than the cities, it is the rural sector where there is the volume.

What remains to be seen how the government actually follows this up with action, smooth processes, minimum interference, minimum red tape and the works.

The second interesting thing I would like to start a thread on is, how can small to medium players (re-)invent themselves and provide services which can withstand the strategies and might of the big players, such as existing ISPs and others.

cheers for a VoIP-ed India.

FORMULA TO CALCULATE PHONE LINES NEEDED

What is the formula for calculating the number of lines for an inbound call center if we have the BHCA (Busy Hour Calls Average) and QOS (Quality of Service or Service Level)? Online calculators give the answer but not the formula. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. -- Sameer Maini, Target Corporation

Calculate Call Center Staffing with Excel

By Joannès Vermorel, May 2008

This guide explains how to optimize the number of agents to reach the desired service level. This guide applies to call centers and contact centers. The theory is illustrated with Microsoft Excel. Advanced notes are available for software developer who would like to reproduce the theory into a custom application.

Download: erlang-by-lokad.xls (Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet)

When opening the spreadsheet, Excel will warn you than this document contains macros. Those macros correspond to the Erlang-C formula (see explanation below). You need to activate the macros in order to reproduce the calculations.

worth trying to convince your customer, and other times you are just better

It is a prevailing view among many inept business types that programming

is a fancy form of typing.

Re: [asterisk-biz] TFTP Boot Server

I can hardly be moved to argue that good marketing and transparent
justification is often essential.

But it's not worth the time to work with clients to whom programming has
to be justified as a legitimate field of skilled, intellectual human
endeavour from the ground up, arguing every step of the way.

Programming is not just typing, and if you want it done more or less
from scratch and done right, you have to pay serious money and give
serious time.

Re: [asterisk-biz] TFTP Boot Server

Those 'inept' business types are your customers....

I don't call him 'inept' and blame the customer.

Maybe you should start by looking at yourself and your own marketing
techniques first.

Re: [asterisk-biz] TFTP Boot Server

1/ a carpenter cant build a kitchen from scratch in 3 days.

2/ he can ‘assemble’ a kitchen in a day but that would involve 60-70% of the $10,000 being for the pre-finished cabinetry.

As you are a coder and not providing ‘pre-finished code’, make up your mind and make a decision as to which side of the argument you want to be on.

Done in one day???... you know, if the man was a carpenter, and he had to built your kitchen cabinets in three days, you will probably will not hesitate to pay him 10 thousand dollars. But either you don’t know all the work he has to go through, or you just think that coding work is nowadays the same as third world slavery work.

This project is not of a scope that allows it to be done in one day.
Not if it's done right. You've got to be kidding yourself.

We login to portal

* user name

then we have an option to browser phones by MAC address or by Client Name (company name) only for internal use.

Add a phone option:

* Select a brand name of the phone
* Select a model
* Enter a MAC address of the phone.
* Enter SIP user name
* Enter SIP user password
* Enter SIP URL
* Click on generate a config file.

after that phone will be connecting to TFTP server and downloading an information related to the MAC address.

I can't comment on your need for it to be php, but take a look at sipxconfig. It should be able to be used stand alone separate from the rest of sipxecs to just configure phones.

Re: [asterisk-biz] TFTP Boot Server

What about the ancillary configuration options - which can number in the
hundreds - some of which are required for real functionality in most
circumstances (server address comes to mind as important; phone display
label would be nice)? There seems little point in doing this unless you
can generate configurations with all that stuff. And wouldn't you want
the configuration data to be shared/exported/transmogrified
appropriately for the complementary network/PBX that the phones would be
attached to/used with?

The concept is simple, but the implementation is not, and could go on
forever. So how does the service you are seeking fit into your plans?
Are you looking for some model code to serve as a basis for your future
development?

[asterisk-biz] Comments Required on asterisk2billing 120 concurrent calls limits!!

Hi!

I would like to implement a2billing for calling card business. I would like to know the concurrent call limitation by asterisk2billing that is 120?

I believe that a single asterisk box can handle 8 E1 TDM Calls or 300 to 500 SIP calls easily on a good Xeon server with 2 to 4 gb RAM with g729 codec.

Please comments on following statement given on at http://www.asterisk2billing.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi
See this line
The platform can be fitted with a TDM cards to interconnect with the PSTN, and can support in excess of 120 concurrent calls given the right hardware. If more capacity is required, then more Asterisk servers can be added as necessary.

Also if some one refer to good documentation about how to add multiple asterisk server with a single A2billing engine. Or a case study of deploying a2billing for calling card business with larger call volume.

Your Comments are welcome.

Thanks

Re: [asterisk-biz] Looking for a good stateside VoIP provider...

Hello everyone..

Since this was a pretty popular post I though I'd write about my experience in selecting our new provider

Teliax.

When we started testing with Teliax I was having issues with the service- Having not contacted support

(A common problem amongst know it alls like myself) I figured they were probably out of the running.

Deciding to give it one more shot, I posted a message to their forum which was answered within an hour

by David Aldworth. Apparently from what I can gather David is one of, or THE owner of the company. After

a few email volleys and a phone call (on Sunday even) David had me convinced that the issue was on my

end. And he was right.

To make a long story short- Teliax has been working great for us. Our numbers were ported in less than

10 days , their pricing is more than competitive, and the service/support we received has been world class.

Thanks David, Ben,Geoff, and everyone who offered comments to my original post.

Hi,

We are looking for a reliable voip provider to connect our in-office
Asterisk box with the outside world. For starters we'd need couple of
outbound SIP trunks for testing purposes. Does anyone have any
recommendations/experience with voip provider in Canada?

Thanks!

mike,
typically, one might have a 6 to 1, 10 to 1, or in vonage's case (I think) 15+ to 1 ratio of customers to lines. the more customers the higher the ratio, of course.
there is an erlang formula (spelling) that the telcos use but it still comes down to... 'all lines are busy, please try your call later'...
how many times do you want a customer want to hear that msg.

[asterisk-biz] VUC Friday: asterisk 1.6 fax, Drawing for Free Astricon Pass

Friday August 29, 2008 at 12 Noon EDT - VoIP Users Conference

Hi,

I was surprised to learn last week from Digium that asterisk 1.6 has
fax supported included. No more copying source files and editing
Makefile. While those tasks are not a big deal, they sort of defeat
the idea of using make. I greet the news with that fax is an integral
part of the asterisk install. I wonder where the fax code comes from?
SpanDSP?

Digital-OPSiS is offering a Free Exhibitors Pass, valued at $695 to
one lucky winner and the drawing, postponed from last week will be
this Friday on Voip Users Conference.

http://voipusersconference.org -or- http://bit.ly/voip

You can still register to be part of the Digital-OPSiS team and get
all the action of Astricon.

Go to http://bit.ly/astricon

For the rest of the time, we'll be talking about anything related to
telephony (and sometimes not related to anything) and especially VoIP,
SIP, hardware, asterisk, software.

Ironically, by definition being involved in VoIP means you have a
phone and usually have SIP providers or hardware and software to make
SIP calls. For years, the only vocal contact anyone had was the free
FWD network. Since March 2007, you can join us any Friday at 12 Noon
Eastern, 9AM Pacific or 1600 GMT to chat about anything that's on your
mind.

PSTN (724) 444-7444 and enter 22622# 1#
SIP 123@ts.x2z.eu DTMF 22622# 1#
