Description
ParaBill stands out as the inaugural commercially available Open Source Billing and Customer Care solution, catering to traditional telecom and communication services alongside content-based charging models. We offer a variety of services customized to meet your specific requirements, including training, feature development, and installation and configuration assistance. Initially, development faced delays due to market dynamics, leading to a transition of ownership in 2006 from Parabell AB back to the original developers. This shift was aimed at ultimately releasing ParaBill as an Open Source platform, and in May 2006, the first public version of ParaBill was successfully launched as an Open Source solution, marking a significant milestone in its evolution. The release not only enhanced accessibility for users but also fostered a collaborative community to further improve the software.
Description
PortaSwitch is a unified Service Management and Delivery Platform that combines Class 4/5 SIP softswitch functionality (PortaSIP) with a convergent real-time billing and Online Charging System (PortaBilling) in a single platform. It enables telecom operators, ISPs, MVNOs, and UCaaS providers to launch, manage, and monetize voice, messaging, IoT/M2M, and data traffic.
Key capabilities:
*Real-time billing and charging with fund locking to prevent balance overruns;
*Class 4/5 softswitch with SIP call routing and IP Centrex/Cloud PBX support;
*geo-redundant multi-site architecture with automatic failover and zero downtime during updates;
*open architecture with REST API and full source code access (unlimited license).
PortaSwitch is available as a one-time unlimited license (per-installation, not tied to subscriber count) or a monthly SaaS subscription based on billable events, for on-premise or cloud (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) deployment.

PortaSwitch can be deployed either in an on-premises private cloud installation with a license, or in a public cloud as a service
The PortaSwitch unlimited perpetual license does not depend on the number of subscribers or concurrent calls but rather covers an installation of a predefined number of instances and servers. The pricing of PortaSwitch in a cloud under SaaS model depends on the maximal capacity used during the month of service.
