 3.How does the solution work? 3.1.User experience Prepaid: Customer visits the Call Shop. Customer prepays the operator for the call. The operator activates a phone booth for the customer using the telephone in Call Shop. The customer goes to the phone booth and dials the destination number. Billing system or billing device records the call details and the corresponding call charges for future reporting needs. Postpaid: Customer visits the Call Shop. Customer chooses a vacant phone booth and dials the destination number. Billing system or billing device keeps track of each phone booth's call details and the corresponding call charges for invoicing and future reporting needs. When the customer completes his/her calls, the operator generates an invoice for the customer's calls. 3.2.Service provider experience When the user picks up the phone and dials a destination number, VoIP Gateway sends an authorization request to billing system. The billing system or billing device verifies whether a call can be placed from that particular booth and authorizes the call. VoIP Gateway passes the destination number to Softswitch and requests routing information. Softswitch returns to VoIP Gateway the IP address of the remote trunking gateway and VoIP Gateway connects to it. The remote gateway terminates the call to the destination party. Upon call completion, billing system or billing device records complete CDR information for the call and makes it available to the operator for billing, reporting and monitoring purposes. 4.Solution components and requirements VoIP Gateway: FreeGo EIA series, include EIA2001,EIA2002,EIA2004,EIA2008,EIA2016 Billing system: FreeGo U1000,is suitable for ones who is able to operate computer Billing system: is suitable for ones who have no skill in PC Softswitch: include FreeGo EIX, FreeGo M1000, FreeGo V1000 Trunking gateway: FreeGo ETG3000 series, include ETG3001, ETG3002, ETG3004, ETG3008 |
