Here are some reasons why you should consider switching to FreeSWITCH:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Extremely_versatile\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1. Extremely versatile\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">FreeSWITCH is extremely versatile for MSP operations. It can easily support a wide array of real-time communication protocols such as audio calls, video calls, text, and other forms of media. It can run on Linux, Windows, macOS, and FreeBSD. It supports Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) features. It has applications in Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) functionality, video transcoding, voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and WebRTC. In many commercial PBX products and open-source projects, FreeSWITCH is a core component.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Wide_range_of_use_cases_for_MSPs\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2. Wide range of use cases for MSPs<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">FreeSWITCH can build private branch exchange (PBX), <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hodusoft.com\/multilevel-ivr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">interactive voice response (IVR)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> services, wholesale least-cost routing, Session Border Controller (SBC), videoconferencing with chat and screen sharing, and embedded communication appliances. It also has support for encryption, DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security), and ZRTP (Z and Real-time Transport Protocol).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Highly_cost-effective_and_scalable\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3. Highly cost-effective and scalable<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Being a free and open-source telephony software, FreeSWITCH is highly cost-effective. It can reduce capital investment and operational costs of managed service providers (MSPs) to a large extent. Apart from providing high value for money, the software provides a scalable system for MSPs. The stable switching core and a strong interface enable MSPs to control the system. In addition to that, the software is cloud enabled. It can simplify complex deployment scenarios such as WebRTC, AI integration, and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). By switching to FreeSWITCH, MSPs can optimize their tech stack and scale up (or scale down) their operations as and when required.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Extremely_advanced\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">4. Extremely advanced<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the last 17 years, FreeSWITCH has undergone a huge transformation. All the subsequent versions contain critical security fixes and stability improvements. The latest SIP.js (WebRTC) library upgrade is equipped with a wide array of sophisticated features. The SIP.js (WebRTC) library upgrade makes it extremely easy to set up communication sessions and create audio and video sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Customizable_for_Diverse_Client_Needs\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">5. Customizable for Diverse Client Needs<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">FreeSWITCH is extremely flexible and customizable for diverse client needs. FreeSWITCH&#8217;s flexible modular architecture makes it extremely nimble. Apart from that, the software&#8217;s compatibility with multiple programming languages make it highly customizable to meet specific requirements of MSPs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Multi-tenancy_support\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">6. Multi-tenancy support<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a managed service provider, you know how important multi-tenancy is for your operations. Multi-tenancy is non-negotiable for MSPs. The good news is FreeSWITCH offers multi-tenancy support. Equipped with sophisticated features such as domain-based routing and partitioned settings, the open-source software enables MSPs to manage multiple clients efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Future-ready_for_MSPs_growth\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">7. Future-ready for MSPs\u2019 growth<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Apart from thinking about the present day and keeping up with the competition, MSPs need to think about the future and be prepared to cope with the rapidly evolving digital landscape. FreeSWITCH can help MSPs to future-proof their operations and meet all the expectations and needs of their clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Large-scale_deployments\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">8. Large-scale deployments<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For an average MSP, deploying a wide range of services can be challenging without the right tool. This is where a sophisticated solution such as FreeSWITCH can prove to be extremely useful. Due to its scalability and performance optimization, FreeSWITCH can handle large-scale deployments. Using FreeSWITCH, MSPs not only can handle high call volumes but also number of concurrent connections.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Expert_support\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">9. Expert support<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During certain time and events such as network issues, operation-related issues, and others, MSPs need prompt support. If they get the right support at the right time, then they can focus on their operations and provide the right services to their clients. If they don&#8217;t, then it can put an adverse impact on their operations. Whether it&#8217;s custom deployment assessment, deployment assistance, or priority bug fixes, MSPs that use FreeSWITCH can be assured of timely support from highly expert and experienced engineers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Real-time_monitoring_and_analytics\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">10. Real-time monitoring and analytics<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">MSPs must always keep an eye on their key performance indicators (KPIs) to know their actual performance versus the desired outcomes. By doing that, they can improve their performance and cater to their clients in the desired manner. FreeSWITCH provides a wide range of monitoring and analytics tools using which MSPs can track real-time activities and performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Everything_Said_and_Done\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Everything Said and Done,<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since the launch of its maiden version, FreeSWITCH has revolutionized the way businesses and professional service providers such as MSPs provide customized services to their clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In today&#8217;s time, FreeSWITCH is extremely useful for all types and sizes of MSPs. The upgraded SIP.js (WebRTC) library version offers advanced capabilities and customized support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are considering investing in FreeSWITCH, you must consider a solution provider with a solid track record and years of experience in delivering the right solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are a Managed Service Provider (MSP), you must consider powering your contact center with FreeSWITCH (if you aren&#8217;t using the free and open-source software already).
