Over the Wire’s NetSIP Voice Platform now offers Direct Routing Calling Solution for Microsoft Office 365 and Teams

Announcement posted by Over the Wire 08 Jul 2020

Over the Wire has today released Microsoft Teams Direct Routing calling plans, so

your organisation can now call externally to the PSTN without the need for onpremises

hardware.


Over the Wire’s purpose is to simplify technology to empower business. To this end,

we’ve extended our powerful NetSIP voice platform to natively provide competitively

priced global calling from Teams.


Microsoft Teams is the fastest growing business app in Microsoft history with some 44

million daily users at time of writing.


A move away from legacy on-premise telephony to cloud-delivered unified

communications services is now more compelling than ever. Extending Office 365

licensing to include Teams is easy – and now adding Direct Routing makes the transition

to true cloud telephony simple and fast.


That’s why we’ve developed our class leading NetSIP voice platform to provide Direct

Routing capability for Microsoft Teams. This new service enables people to call

numbers outside the Microsoft cloud, increasing their productivity and building on Over

the Wire’s strengths in voice and data networking, cloud and security.


As an alternative to the traditional providers, Over the Wire offers both competitive

rates and improved service. We also deliver a number of services that help

organisations bring together Microsoft Teams collaboration with our voice services,

including:


● Session Border Controller configuration and management

● A choice of competitive voice calling plans using our national SIP network

● Integration services for our existing voice and contact centre platforms

● Self-service customer portal for ordering and routing numbers

● Flexible call routing for inbound calls


NetSIP carries millions of calls every day over our highly resilient SIP platform located in

geo-redundant voice hubs across Australia, terminating your calls using the best

possible path at the highest possible quality.


Over the Wire offers the Direct Calling SIP service as a standalone offering, not requiring

customers to migrate Office 365 licensing away from their current provider. This means

Over the Wire will not compete with Microsoft Partners, but instead enhance their

service suite and potentially provide them with new revenue streams.


Michael Omeros, Group CEO of Over the Wire, explained that employees want to

collaborate in many different ways, but without the pain of disparate systems; “We are

always looking for ways to improve our customers’ productivity using telecoms. We

know that people want to see a truly unified collaboration experience and that is now

possible combining Microsoft Teams with NetSIP.”
