Standard and
Advanced VoIP Billing Functionality
Astcode
VoIP Billing Platform offers both standard and advanced
billing functionality which enables service providers to
fine tune their business models and attract the most
lucrative customer segments. Astcode supports both
traditional call billing methods, such as initial time
charges, sample interval charges, per call charges and
others as well as advanced methods, including
peak/off-peak, FlagFall, progressive billing and others.
Advanced
Management of Calling Cards
Astcode VoIP Billing Platform features
complete set of tools for managing calling cards. The
product can generate unlimited number of PIN batches,
manage PIN activation, deactivation and expiration, impose
call restrictions based on dialed number prefix, restrict
maximum call time, and others.
Multiple
Authentication Methods
Astcode VoIP Billing Platform comes with
integrated state-of-the-art RADIUS server which supports
multiple user authentication methods. Depending on the
business model implemented by a particular service
provider, Astcode can authenticate users by their ANI,
DNIS, PIN, IP address, tech-prefix, user name or a
combination of those methods.
Selection of
Call Legs for VoIP Billing Purposes
With Astcode
VoIP Billing Platform, providers have the option to
specify which call signals (call legs) should be used for
rating and billing purposes. Because VoIP equipment
exchanges multiple call signals before establishing a
connection between two parties, such unique functionality
enables providers to better match revenues and expenses
and improve profitability.
Real-time
Monitoring and Alerts
To ensure early diagnostic and timely
problem resolution, Astcode VoIP Billing Platform offers
comprehensive real-time monitoring and alert capabilities.
Astcode can notify administrators via email alerts when
particular events occur, such as when users sign up for
services or cancel subscriptions. Additionally,
administrators can monitor in real-time Web access, Radius
logs, CDR extract logs, FTP logs, and others.
Comprehensive Reporting
Astcode VoIP Billing Platform offers
comprehensive reporting capabilities which enable
providers to manage their businesses more effectively.
Astcode provides multiple customizable reports including,
accounting, revenue, expenses, call history by user and
others.
Virtual
Server Partitioning
Astcode VoIP Billing Platform offers
virtual server partitioning functionality which enables
providers to quickly grow their businesses through
leveraging relationships with third parties. By
partitioning a single Astcode server, providers can lease
its functionality to multiple resellers and generate
revenues via revenue splits or by charging subscriber
fees, monthly fees, etc.
Carrier
Grade Reliability
Astcode VoIP Billing Platform offers
improved system availability and reliability through
support for redundant server configurations. Providers can
set up an active and a passive server with periodic
database replications between servers. The passive server
can perform periodic status checks on the active one and
can take over traffic if the latter becomes temporarily
unavailable.
Modular
Architecture
Astcode VoIP Billing Platform utilizes
modular architecture which allows high degree of product
customization. Service providers benefit as they have the
option to hand-pick functionality that they need and
tailor Astcode to serve better their particular business
needs.
Unlimited
Rate Tables
Astcode VoIP Billing Platform supports the
creation and management of unlimited number of rate tables
to ensure flexible rating and billing. Each rate table is
assigned to a particular provider and used for billing of
calls originated/terminated by that provider.
High Call
Capacity
Astcode VoIP Billing Platform is offered in
standard and carrier editions to address the needs of both
emerging and established telecoms and service providers.
The standard edition supports up to 1,000 concurrent
