Voicebuy - an international wholesale VoIP termination provider

Nowadays, the world around us is changing rapidly, becoming more dynamic and busy. At each moment, thousands of people are travelling to different destinations of the world to study or in search of the job or doing a business. In fact, the only tool that eliminates the barrier of distance and makes communication available regardless of geographical location is the technology. Today’s technology has given rise to VoIP call termination, which is fast spreading across the globe among individuals and small businesses, corporations and enterprises. It is a route through which voice is sent over Internet.

Voice Termination

Voice traffic termination, also known as call termination, is the routing of telephone calls from one telephone company ( also known as a carrier or provider) to another. The originating point is the calling party who initiates the call and the terminating point is end point or the called party.

This term is often applied to VoIP calls. A call, which is initiated as a VoIP call is terminated using PSTN. In fact, in this case termination services can be sold as a separate commodity. Call origination is the opposite of call termination, in which a call initiated from the PSTN is terminated using VoIP. So , in case of “origination” a call is originated from PSTN and goes to VoIP, while in “termination” a call is originated in VoIP and terminates to the PSTN.

Hardware Requirements

The only hardware needed for VoIP termination is a gateway which takes calls off the Internet and then delivers them onto PSTN lines. A gateway has these two types of interfaces:

• An Ethernet interface which connects the gateway to the Internet.

• One or more telephony interfaces that take analog or digital phone lines.

An analog line may take one phone call at a time but a digital line can take more calls. A T1 lines takes 24 calls and supports 1.5 Mbits, an E1 lines takes 30 calls and supports 2Mbits simultaneously. A digital gateway usually has 4 T1s or 4 E1s and costs between US$1000 ~ US$2000/E1 (30 ports).

International Voice Traffic: Wholesale Voice Market

During the past 20 years international voice traffic has grown at a compounded rate of just over 13 percent annually. This growth was especially rapid during the late 1990s and early 2000s due to market liberalization, the global proliferation of mobile phones, and the emergence of pre-paid phones and calling cards, which brought telecommunications services to millions of people in developing countries. A mature international wholesale voice market has developed over the past decade and greatly increased its efficiency. Traffic terminated by wholesale carriers grew 11 percent in 2012, to 330 million minutes. Wholesale traffic has consistently expanded faster than aggregate traffic. The share of global traffic transported by wholesale carriers has grown from 45 percent in 2003 to 65 percent in 2012. Traffic increases to emerging market countries have particularly fostered wholesale market growth, and wholesale carriers account for a disproportionate share of traffic terminated to many emerging market destinations (Read more: http://bit.ly/1hVbyeJ).
