iPILOT + Operator Connect
“Microsoft Operator Connect…has helped Teams users make calls more easily when using services outside of Microsoft and across PSTN networks” says UC TODAY. Essentially, if you need communication to be made faster and much more convenient for your users, Operator Connect facilitates this; meanwhile having your users utilize their preferred service providers.
Now that you have iPILOT installed, you can start utilizing NTSCOM’s benefits.
You can manage and control all of your users, including phone numbers directly inside the Admin Center. You can simplify the deployment process, you can set up in minutes, you can utilize our phone number management from the Admin Center, not to mention manage numbers from various operators in the Admin Center as well.
In addition, 1:1 network connection is available for “enhanced resilience” with MAPS, and the best part, this is a fully Cloud Based Solution, therefore you do not need equipment.
According to Microsoft themselves, they list their own benefits of using Operator Connect, which you can utilize today in a few steps through iPILOT:
“The ability to use your existing and preferred operator contracts, while still enabling a modern Teams calling experience. Users can also switch between providers on Operator Connect, should they need to use a different network.
It’s designed for an ease of use that makes it simple to connect to operators and assign phone numbers in minutes, right from the Teams Admin Center. Users don’t need to know how to code, since it’s all handled through those controls making it so a Powershell is not required.
The operator-managed infrastructure means that PSTN calling services and Session Border Controllers (SBCs) are all handled by the carriers, so it’s easier for businesses to manage without needing to purchase new hardware. This streamlines management while reducing hardware costs, without sacrificing control.
Operators provide tech support and shared service level agreements, providing enhanced support and reliability, while Azure powers direct peering to create a 1:1 network connection.”
