Out Channel

The conventional telephone uses analog phone lines to provide phone service, each phone line is capable of one channel at one time. That means one person can call out or answer a phone call at a time.

So, to set up a call center, you need to decide how many concurrent calls out channels you need.

However, if you subscribe to VoIP services, you shouldn’t be worrying about our channel as VoIP is running on digital internet, the is no hardware limitation to the channels. It is scale-able, so you can add as many seats or operators to make outgoing calls as you want.

In Channel

Depend on your call center, if you want to receive phone calls, you need to provide many users to call in, depend on how much-estimated traffic, you decide how many phone lines should be put standby for users to call in. There are two types of IN channels available.

  1. Subscribe to DID numbers for users to call into the VoIP network.
  2. Subscribe to telephone companies’ phone numbers, and pull physical cables into the office.

With the VoIP, we can expand without involving any hardware changes, but most of the time, phone cables pulled from telephone companies require you to modify your IP-PBX.

Caller ID

When your agent makes calls to customers, you want to display phone numbers as a Caller ID so that the customers can call back. The ability to modify Caller ID is also a technical concern when you set up a call center.

IP-PBX / Server

IP-PBX or server is used to distribute calls to phones. If you are doing an inbound call center, the IP-PBX is important to record all the calls, waiting time, and etc. If you are doing an out bound call center, all the IP-Phones, or softphones will be connected to the IP-PBX and to make calls out. Each calls, in or out are recorded in CDR (Call Detail Records), and the CDR is very important for reporting and analysis purposes.

The call center industry can be challenging these days because of the different requirements for call campaigns. AlienVoIP Call Center provides great features with long uptime and reliable service. It is a cost-effective option for businesses to manage their incoming and outgoing calls.

In a VoIP call center, data packets run over Internet Protocol, rather than the traditional switch network. Instead of owning, hosting, or operating on the equipment, clients only pay us on monthly basis with a minimum of 6 months subscription. This allows call centers to pay for only the minutes that they use, rather than investing in hardware and facilities, making it a much more affordable solution.

You can process thousands of calls per second and optimize your account for call center traffic by using a separate rate table to suit your company’s budget. AlienVoIP supports high-volume call center traffic to more than 200 countries worldwide such as India, USA, UK, China and Australia.
