Product and Services

Silverback's VOIP service is split in to two networks, the Post Paid SBASP network and the Prepaid iTouch Communications network. Both networks operate independently of one another. The two networks has been put in place for redundancy purposes, protect customers and prepare for drastic government policy changes and Political Risk Management.


Silverback has created a powerful Service Management System (SMS) that customers can lease a license as an ASP or purchase a license for their use. Making our proprietary package affordable to any company providing Internet related services.

The SMS is a system to easily track: Accounts, Customers, Sales, Trouble Tickets, Billing and much more. It is also built with an open API so that other modules and systems can easily be integrated into it.

 


In relation to our VOIP service Silverback built a proprietary SIPc server. The SIPc is a Software IP PBX that works with any SIP IP Phone, ATA, Soft Phone or Wifi phones. The SIPc offers many features for basic PBX services including Voice Mail, Call Transfer, Call Conferencing and call hold.

Silverback ASP provides a new world of rendering global communication with our Internet communication service (VoIP). The Internet service enables users to make and receive telephone calls through the Internet by utilizing our proprietary version of SIP technology. Because our service is IP based, anyone worldwide with an Internet broadband connection can benefit by using our Internet service to contact people throughout the world via our 763 access points.

Silverback ASP gives subscribers the ability to use our SIP application to not only communicate from IP Phone to IP Phone for FREE but also to communicate to Analog phones throughout the world creating Location Independence.

Advent of VoIP

The Days of Analog phones, WAP/GSM and PBX's are now numbered as VoIP is quickly becoming the center hold of telecoms technology. Even the best analog systems are nearing the end of their life cycle, with a large percebtage of manufacturers discontinuing product lines in favor of IP telephony-enabled replacements.

New 3G mobile communication will even rely on SIP VoIP applications to control CSCF (Call State Control Functions), provide user application and service applications. 4G is now defined as Application based phones called WiFi SIP Phones. 5G is even in the works with WiMax SIP Phones. And 6G I expect will be the convergence of 3G technologies with 4 and 5G technologies.

However, VoIP applications are not part of the Telco Hardware world. They are Layer 4 to 7 of the OSI model and are pure Internet based. Technologies such as SIP and H323 are quickly becoming the center requirement for future Telecommunications. This is primarily due to the fraction of cost it takes to develop and configure the software compared to the millions needed to purchase the traditional analog hardware switches.

The driving force behind the move is more efficient use of Bandwidth, increasing reliability of the Internet, more optimized solutions and Cheaper Prices. To be able to transmit more over less faster at much cheaper prices while offering a multitude of free services.

VoIP enables calls from country to country for FREE as long as the traffic is on the Internet and, is very economical when calling to world wide PSTN phones.

This allows for an oppurtunity opportunity of a technical paradigm shift in how we approach global telecommunication models.

What is VoIP?

Voice Over Internet Protocol is the ability to dial international phone number at 1/4 or less the charge of normal analog phone systems. It also enables FREE calling between numbers on the same Silverback/iTouch network anywhere in the world enabling location independence.

What is PSTN?

The PSTN is the Publicly Switched Telephone Network. It provides the analog telephone lines to each house and corporation. Although DSL traverses across the same lines it is not considered part of the proprietary domain owned by the Telcos, rather, it is a part of that neutral nebulous of the Internet realm.


Companies that are most successful with CRM strike the right balance between corporate business intelligence requirements and the needs of the representatives who use the solution everyday.
