The Evolution of Voice Termination Services with Connect Global, Dial Local Routing:
Years before, a group of inventive engineers proposed sending voice conversations across the internet. The conversation would be inserted into packets, sent to the destination, and reassembled in real time to construct a logical two-way conversation. The first versions were buggy, unreliable, and certainly not commercially viable. However, the goal of reducing communications costs and barriers, and expanding business opportunities was sufficient motivation to solve any technical hurdles. With the introduction of broadband internet, Voice over IP became a commercially viable tool. Today, essentially all voice traffic is Voice over IP traffic as a reflection of the industry’s maturity. As with all technology, capabilities must continuously improve. Enter International Local Calling!
Until recently, VoIP Termination (Outbound Calls) traffic was only routed as International traffic. For years, this was just fine. Most calls were successful, companies saved money, and there was flexibility when sending Caller ID’s. For ethical companies, this was useful flexibility. For nefarious actors, this was an opportunity to commit fraud. Unfortunately, these bad actors created a plague of SPAM phone calls, cruelly seeking to take advantage of the innocent. The telecom industry was forced into mitigating this problem and introduced call-blocking filters seeking to reduce Caller ID fraud. Once this important, and necessary protection was implemented, getting Internationally routed VoIP calls successfully delivered became more complicated. Now, even completely legitimate VoIP calls were getting caught up in the SPAM filters, greatly increasing the rate of failed calls.
A remedy was needed to maintain the security of Local Caller ID’s and their identity, while still allowing businesses to leverage the features of IP-based voice traffic. The most logical choice was to route calls Locally, even when they arise Internationally. Connect Globally, Dial Locally was created for this purpose!
