Leading vendor of advanced communication solutions, AudioCodes, recently announced a collaboration with CPaaS leader, Twilio. The two companies will be joining forward to deliver more scalable direct routing solutions for Microsoft Teams users. The functionality will be enabled through the Twilio Elastic SIP service.
Already, the Microsoft-certified Mediant SBCs from AudioCodes have proven their interoperability with Twilio technology. This partnership will now allow Teams customers to link quickly to the Twilio Elastic SIP solution and benefit from low costs, global coverage, and flexibility.
The SBC portfolio from AudioCodes offers a range of resilient and scalable software-only applications capable of providing SIP-based connectivity over voice.
Simplifying Direct Routing with Microsoft Teams
The Mediant portfolio of Session Border Controllers offered by AudioCodes is built around a consistent software base. This ensures that teams can easily access comprehensive security, excellent SIP interoperability, and fantastic quality of service from any solution. Every model has also been certified by Microsoft as an approved solution for direct routing on Microsoft Teams.
The SBC technology is approved for local media optimisation, to ensure better voice quality for meetings, and reduced bandwidth demand too. AudioCodes helps users to deploy its virtualised SBCs in various public and private cloud environments. What’s more, it’s easy to deploy this technology with a rapid purchase from the Azure Marketplace.
Additionally, thanks to the AudioCodes Live for Microsoft Teams offering, consumers will be able to get hold of AudioCodes’ direct routing technology as a managed solution. This means companies can reduce costs with a per-month and per-user subscription.
A Joint Solution for Microsoft Teams
According to the General Manager for Twilio Elastic SIP Trunking, Annie Benitez Pelaez, AudioCodes and Twilio are working together to develop an amazing solution for Microsoft Teams. Customers can deploy this offering globally, and access reliable PSTN connectivity in around 100 countries, with low calling rates and on-demand provisioning.
Nimrode Borovsky, the VP and General Manager of Enterprise at AudioCodes, said that he’s delighted to be collaborating with Twilio to deliver a more scalable solution for Microsoft Teams direct routing. As the Teams offering continues to gain popularity, not just as a collaboration platform, but a full UCaaS solution, the SIP trunking service offers a compelling solution for secure and reliable PSTN connectivity. Teams worldwide will now have a fantastic solution for a full PBX replacement through Teams.
