A2Billing: A Telco in a Box
A2Billing, combined with Asterisk is a physical Telecom Platform and Soft-Switch providing a wide range of telecoms services using both traditional telephone technology or VoIP. It contains a real time billing engine which rates and bills and invoices calls, and contains a payment gateway.
This now gives any Telecom company a very good reason to consider the A2Billing Platform over the traditional offerings for TDM and VoIP Soft-Switches as well as wholesale billing.
Most Star2Billing software and applications are free, that is to say that the software is free of charge, but also free as in you have the freedom to modify the software under the terms of the AGPL. We simply make a charge for installation, training and consultancy.
A2Billing can be used in a number of different roles, and our consultancy services can advise on the appropriate hardware and configuration of your Switch. For a list of products that A2Billing can provide, please browse through our solutions.
