Which Top 3 Features Should You Demand from Your Wholesale Carrier Partner?

What happens when you combine the strengths of a technology company with the strengths of a national wholesale carrier? You get reliability and consistent voice quality bolstered by applications that give you power, control, and flexibility. If we had to select the three capabilities that drive the most impact, we believe they’re SIP Bursting, DID redundancy, and size of footprint.

Capacity on Demand with Channel Bursting

Why Pay for a Busy Day, Every Day?

Most wholesalers pay for up to 50% more capacity than they ever need. That’s too much. Not many wholesale providers give you the freedom of leveraging courtesy capacity.

With Distributel, your wholesale SIP trunks are provisioned with an additional 50% capacity, at no monthly cost, to allow for “channel bursting.” The additional channels will reside on your trunk groups to protect against call spikes, only incurring a cost if utilized. You will never pay for unused capacity or face the crippling sound of a busy signal.

Channel Bursting

With Distributel Wholesale, your SIP trunks are automatically configured with bursting capacity, also known as “channel bursting.” This gives our wholesalers the ability to manage occasional call spikes without having to overpay for capacity every month. Ultimately, you pay for what you need at the time you need it.

There are no busy signals and—just as importantly—you’re not paying for unused capacity. When you need the capacity, it’s there, it’s available, and you can consume as much as you need, without impacting your end customers.

DID Redundancy with SureCall

100% Business Continuity

When it comes to network availability, you should ask for nothing less than 100% reliability. SureCall is the ultimate failover system and is available free of charge on all Distributel Wholesale SIP trunks. Our SureCall feature is the ultimate failover solution, allowing you to provision call forwarding numbers to your Distributel DIDs in the event you experience an issue with your connectivity or switch. SureCall guarantees DID uptime and can be positioned as a value-add with your end customers, ensuring they maintain network uptime even when you don’t. SureCall is free of charge on all Distributel DIDs and can be easily managed through our uControl user portal.

Dependability

SureCall allows you to specify a call forwarding number for each active DID that will only forward calls if you experience connectivity issues. SureCall is easily managed through our portal or API.

Bank on Reliability

We have been delivering SIP-based voice services since their inception and have become the Canadian underlying network for Carriers and Resellers globally.

Footprint Coverage

What do we mean when we say we have an excellent footprint? Well, we provide DID’s and LNP that cover over 95% of the Canadian population.

That means we have massive DID & LNP coverage to the tune of 2,100+ Canadian rate centres and 9,000+ U.S. rate centres. Need footprint? We got it!

But What Really Makes Us Better?

We’re just scratching the surface. Contact our wholesale department today for a demo of our portal or more details on how we’re automating the Canadian wholesale market with our API’s.
