In the following VoIP Billing scenario, a service provider or
enterprise positions a "VoIP device" (i.e. Cisco, Quintum) at a
gateway. The gateway receives packetized voice transmissions from
the calling party using an IP phone or VoIP enabled device. The
information is then passed to the VoIP Billing Software Module
enabled WIGWAG Billing server which in turn matches the call number
and rate to it's internal rating engine and passes the information
back through a RADIUS server to the gateway. Once this process is
complete the calling party is connected to his/her destination.
Upon disconnecting, the gateway then sends a final call-stop record
to the WIGWAG VoIP Billing Software which then logs the call
duration and rate charged which is used to bill the client.
• Caller A places call via an IP phone
• Gateway receives voice transmission
• Information is passed to the WIGWAG Billing Server's rating engine
• Information collected passes through a RADIUS server
• Caller A is connected with Caller B
• Caller B terminates call
• Gateway receives voice transmission and sends information to RADIUS server
• RADIUS server sends final stop record and duration to WIGWAG Billing server
• Call is rated and Caller A is billed for the call
In regards to the prepaid functionality, LogiSense Corporation offers the WIGWAG Prepaid Billing Module which must be installed if you are planning to offer this service to your customers.
