In an example embodiment, a solution that allows a PBX to utilize bridged mobile or desktop applications for collaboration and softphone use is provided. The solution works in conjunction with existing hardwired PBX devices without requiring additional hardware such as an edge router to be integrated with the PBX hardware. Incoming calls are able to ring a user's hardwired device, such as a desk phone at an office, while simultaneously ring mobile device or desktop applications (apps). App users can place outbound PSTN calls and dial PBX extensions just as if they were using their hardwired device. Additionally, PSTN services are utilized from the existing PBX rather than bypassing the existing PBX, which makes tracking and billing more straightforward. A Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) tie trunk is used between the existing PBX and a software bridge controller.

A mobile application gateway for connecting devices on a cellular network with individual networks, such as enterprise voice and data networks and/or residential networks. The effects of the present invention are far reaching in terms of transferring effective call control from the cellular network into the control of the individual network such as the enterprise, and enabling new business models for the purchase of cellular service from a public cellular carrier by an enterprise. The invention may consist of a primarily of core network and services components based on the IMS network architecture, and is backward compatible to support legacy systems in place in current telecom and data networks.

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing management of routing across multiple voice or data networks with separate routing masters. In various embodiments, in response to receiving a request to establish a call between a calling party in a first network and a called party in a second network, a computing system might receive a first set of network information from a first routing database(s) that is operated by a first service provider and a second set of network information from a second routing database(s) that is operated by a second service provider separate from the first service provider; might analyze the received first and second sets of network information to generate a unified routing model for optimizing routing of the call through the first and second networks; and might establish the call through a selected optimized route based on the generated unified routing model.

A method of operating a network server, such as a mobile application gateway, connect devices on a cellular or carrier network with individual networks, such as enterprise voice and data networks or residential networks. The effects of the present invention are far reaching in terms of transferring effective call control from the cellular network into the control of the individual network, such as the enterprise, and enabling new business models for the purchase of cellular service from a public cellular carrier by an enterprise.

Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to template-based configuration and management of telecommunications services. According to a specific example, a server is provided comprising one or more computer processor circuits configured to interface with a remotely-situated client entity using a first programming language. The server includes a provisioning circuit and a call control circuit. The provisioning circuit is configured to identify a provisioning template for at least one extension for a client entity, and configure the extension for one or more call processing functions. The call control circuit is configured identify at least one call control template written in a second programming language. The call control circuit is further configured to control call routing for VoIP telephone calls by executing the call control template, and to implement one or more call processing functions specified by the call control template as being conditional upon retrieved data.

Processing of communications routed by an IPBX server are disclosed. At least one processing circuit is communicatively coupled to an Internet-Protocol Private Branch Exchange (IPBX) server that is configured and arranged to route calls for a plurality of agents in a communications/call center. The processing circuit is configured to receive communications event messages from the IPBX server for communications routed by the IPBX server, generate, during a communication to a first agent of the plurality of agents, a set of data metrics including communications summary metrics based on the communications event messages; and redirect, during the communication to the first agent, the communication to a second agent of the plurality of agents in response to the set of data metrics satisfying a set of criteria indicated in a policy.

Disclosed is a system for telephones by providing an improved and streamlined user experience and enhanced fail over mechanisms. A decentralized system managed through a web site which allows for continued operation even when the primary systems fail includes a mechanism for restoring the primary systems automatically when they become available again. Phones connect to two PBX systems at the same time, one local and one at a remote location. The two PBX systems synchronize configuration data and media files between them. The website can also be used to manage any number of systems allowing any size organization to manage every phone system in their organization from a single interface.

A system and computer-implemented method for providing telephony communication services for VoIP or analog telephony devices using an on-premises gateway and remotely located VoIP system are described. Some implementations of the methods may include generating a configuration file mapping a plurality of tag extensions to a plurality of analog telephone ports of a high-density analog telephony adapter (HDATA), which may be communicatively coupled to the VoIP system. The VoIP system may transmit the configuration file to the HDATA, receive a telephony service request, and determine a tag extension based on the telephony service request. The VoIP system may transmit an identification of the tag extension to the HDATA and route a telephony service to the HDATA via the communication channel using the tag extension.
