Telinta met with telecom operators at the International Telecoms Week 2010 in Washington DC on May 24 - 26, company officials said, adding that over the course of three days, Telinta "exhibited its full suite of flexible switch partition and billing" products.
Live demonstrations of Telinta's newest products -- CallMon and TeliCon - "generated a lot of interest among the telecom service providers," company officials said.
CallMon allows live monitoring of call statistics, and TeliCon provides a full-featured audio conferencing service.
Telinta will exhibit next at ITEXPO West 2010. If you're interested you can meet the Telinta team on October 4-6 in Los Angeles.
Earlier this month, Telinta upgraded to the latest stable PortaSwitch release. The upgrade process went smoothly with no down time incurred for Telinta's core switch partition and billing services, company officials say.
This release introduces many new exciting features to Telinta's Hosted PortaSwitch.
Telinta customers "can now associate multiple routing plans with a single product in PortaBilling," company officials say, explaining that a specific tariff can be assigned to each routing plan: "This tariff will be used when a customer subscribed to a specific plan places a call. In this case, a customer can choose to pay more for premium routes, or to pay less for discount routes."
Although this functionality was previously available to Telinta wholesale clients, the new release extends support to all offered VoIP services.
Previously, Telinta officials say, call authorization in PortaBilling checked the amount of available funds at the start of each call. This scheme has drawbacks for some wholesale billing models, such as the inability to react to balance changes while a call is in progress, with a possibility of an overdraft when multiple simultaneous calls are allowed.
A new quick account transfer feature was introduced in the PortaBilling XML API. This allows "moving" an account from one customer to another, replicating the entire service configuration (account ID, password, service features, follow-me, and other related settings) and subscriptions on the new account, and terminating the old one.
