Enterprise Voice compliance challenges (India and Other countries)

There are many countries (including India) where telecom restrictions require national or international calls to go over PSTN (and not over IP) because of toll bypass reason. These countries may want to preserve national and international tolls by applying these voice compliances.

These regulations have actually blocked Microsoft Enterprise Voice (EV) and conferencing deployments at many customer locations in such countries (like India). I have personally witnessed so many organizations (small-med-big) having licenses for Lync enterprise voice without deploying the EV solution. Many global companies have deployed Enterprise Voice (EV) in other countries (US, Canada, Singapore etc.) but they still don’t have Enterprise Voice for their India employees. Interestingly there are lot many organizations having this problem.

There is great news for such organizations… Unify Square’s PowerRoute product helps Lync Enterprise Voice deployments to go complaint in such countries (including India). Unify Square's PowerRoute enables telecom compliance by:

·         Forcing select calls to be routed over the PSTN in a compliant manner

·         Block calls that are non-compliant

PowerRoute is a rule-based system that's integrated into Lync Server 2010's core Inbound/Outbound Routing Infrastructure

·         PowerRoute runs on Lync 2010’s Front End Servers

·         Intercepts SIP messages, and either allowing them, blocking them or modifying them

·         PowerRoute works with Lync’s Outbound Routing to force the calls to use specific GWs

·         PowerRoute works with Lync’s Inbound Routing, determining which call legs are allowed and which calls should be blocked
