QUESTION: Does Sippy provide options for small capacity and how are they hosted?
ANSWER:
We offer small capacity solutions fully hosted by us. We can provision your softswitch within 24 hours of subscription. The minimum capacity of a hosted softswitch is 100CC. You can choose between Shared Hosted or AWS Cloud depending on your colocation needs. In some countries such as Paskistan and Nigeria, local authorities require telecom businesses to operate within the country. In such cases, a Flex license option is available to you which would make it possible to the license on your dedicated local server.

QUESTION: May I increase the capacity or CPS on my hosted system?
ANSWER:
Before an increase in capacity or CPS, Sippy confirms that the server being used contains the necessary resources available. If the server where the softswitch environment is hosted can handle more capacity or CPS the technical team may configure an increase as soon as your payment is received. If the capacity or CPS can't be handled on the current server, the support and sales team look for alternate servers for migration of softswitch environment so that the capacity or CPS increase can be provided.
