It empowers businesses to seamlessly integrate their chosen telephony provider, delivering a bespoke solution that aligns perfectly with communication needs. By taking control of PSTN connectivity costs, IT teams can gain a strategic advantage in budget optimisation, ushering in a new era of adaptable and cost-effective telephony integration for their organisations.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Direct Routing for Microsoft Teams from Marlin Communications offers a robust alternative to Microsoft Calling Plans<\/a>. This solution empowers businesses to seamlessly integrate their existing PSTN telephony hardware with Teams, all without the need for on-premise hardware. The key to this integration lies in Microsoft-certified Session Border Controllers (SBCs)<\/strong>, which deliver a cloud-based service that enhances flexibility, scalability, and functionality.<\/p>\n Direct Routing enables businesses to bridge their existing on-premise telephone system and a Microsoft-certified SBC to Microsoft Teams. This connection facilitates making and receiving UK and international calls, providing a compelling alternative to traditional hosted telephony systems or PBX.<\/p>\n To integrate Direct Routing for Microsoft Teams, businesses need a few essentials:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Easily connect your existing telephony hardware to Microsoft Teams, reducing additional capital outlay.<\/p>\n Whether in the office, travelling, or working from home, Direct Routing ensures a seamless calling experience through Teams.<\/p>\n Save up to 50% compared to Microsoft Calling Plans, maximising your licensing investment in Microsoft Teams without additional costs.<\/p>\n Seamless integration with Microsoft Teams simplifies phone system administration.<\/p>\n Access online advanced and comprehensive call statistics for informed decision-making.<\/p>\n Add new users and devices to grow communication capabilities as your business expands.<\/p>\n Benefit from end-to-end encryption and industry compliance, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality.<\/p>\n The Marlin Communications SIP Trunk Call Manager offers powerful continuity during broadband outages.<\/p>\n Technical support, shared 99.99% uptime SLAs, and direct peering powered by Azure enhance reliability and service quality.<\/p>\n Keep the same geographical number wherever you are in the world, ensuring consistency in your business communications.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unlike many other providers, we do not resell another provider’s direct routing solution, instead we use our own Azure environment and resilient session border controllers (SBC). This enables us to quickly customise a client’s service whenever it’s required as well as provide ongoing support for the length of the contract.<\/p>\n We provide clients with the choice of SIP provider and even multiple SIP providers to create a more resilient infrastructure. Other providers do not provide a choice or multi-carrier, which means that in the event of an outage, you are left with no alternative throughout the term of the contract.<\/p>\n We provide clients with the option of adding an on-site SBC for local survivability<\/strong>. In the event of a Microsoft Teams outage, an on-site SBC will allow all staff to continue to take and make calls using physical handsets.<\/p>\n To further enhance your organisation’s voice communications, consider the following access services:<\/p>\n If you’d like your business to benefit from Direct Routing for Microsoft Teams, Call us on 0800 032 8274<\/strong> or click here<\/a> to fill in this form for a call back from one of our Microsoft Teams Solution Consultants.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Marlin Communications Ltd<\/strong> is a leading UK provider of business communications technology solutions across Voice, Video, Connectivity, Cyber Security and Business Mobiles.<\/p>\n We work with all the major solution providers including Microsoft, Zoom, GoTo, Mitel, Gamma, Yealink, Poly, SonicWall, O2 & Vodafone, to name just a few.<\/p>\n And with our expert team of Solution Consultants, Engineers and Support staff, we’re perfectly positioned to partner with you for the long-term and help your business connect, collaborate & grow.<\/p>\n Sign up to receive exclusive business communications, tech content, new tech launches, tips, articles and more.<\/p>\nDirect Routing for Microsoft Teams<\/h2>\n
