Least Cost Routing For Toll Free Numbers
Toll Free Least Cost Routing Engine (LCRGen)
With constant and growing cost pressures on their business, Toll Free providers can no longer rely on slow, manual, ad hoc techniques to analyze and deploy least cost call routing.
Many Toll Free service providers sign agreements with multiple carriers to carry call traffic on that carriers’ network for Toll Free Numbers in areas where the provider has no service or can find a better rate than using their own network. In order to take advantage of such agreements, your company must generate Call Processing Records (CPRs) for your Toll Free numbers that use a specific set of carriers based on where the call originated. The initial CPR that must be created may seem obvious or trivial (use the lowest cost provider for each NPA-NXX), but SMS/800 restrictions on the size and number of paths in a CPR often prevents the simple choice and requires a more complex routing record.
CSF Corporation has built a powerful Least Cost Routing CPR Generation engine that uses your providers’ rate agreements and traffic data to produce a CPR that will minimize your Toll Free calling costs. The tool:
- Produces CPRs with a number of paths and a size that will be accepted by SMS/800 and can be loaded successfully in their Service Control Points;
- Chooses between multiple carriers for any NPA-NXX;
- Allows you to merge traffic data across multiple toll free numbers to generate a single least cost routing CPR for that set of numbers;
Our LCR engine employs the most sophisticated optimization methods. Traffic analysis is done using mixed linear and integer programming with a variety of pruning techniques as to retain most favorable routing.
