[asterisk-biz] Billing Project

[Mitul Limbani]

Hello Mark,

We provide minutes to a lot of call centers here in India and most of 
them either use Asterisk or AudioCodes Gateway and we know that our 
solution just works :)

As regards to your conerns on media traffic, I think that would be a 
dream come true for any provider including us to send high data packets 
directly to provider to save our bandwidth, in case of Asterisk we try 
to use low bandwidth codecs like Speex or ilBC, but as from our 
experience, most of these Gateways understand G729 very well, so G729 
is the way to supress the bandwidth requirement.

At the moment our billing software can handle good traffic, we do all 
the billing CDRs with a custom rate interface, but we have to handle 
the media traffic too.

Let me know if you require further info, we can put you up as our 
partner for the minutes termination.

Looking forward to hear from you off-the-list.

Thanks & Regards,
