TPT - FIXED CELLULAR TERMINAL FOR LEAST COST ROUTING

TPT Ltd is a leading UK ISO 9001 approved manufacturer of passive and active power distribution, cable management and interconnectivity products for the telecoms, IT and industrial marketplace.

The TPT2000 GSM multi-line router product enables significant cost cuts on calls made from landlines to mobile phones. Such calls can now account for 50% of the calls on your phone bill if your company employs field-based personnel with mobile phones, or if staff make a high number of calls to mobile phones.

TPT2000: GSM LEAST COST ROUTER
When connected to your phone system, the TPT2000 Fixed Cellular Terminal (FCT) automatically routes mobile calls directly to your preferred mobile operator. This avoids expensive cross network charges associated with landline to mobile calls and can enable cost savings of up to 50%.

Modular in design, the TPT2000 FCT can be configured for two, four, six or eight ports, providing simultaneous line routing. It also has a call home facility and remote management and control facility, which provides the following:

Minimal call slippage due to a power failure Remote configurable updates Programmable, to manage minutes allocation and usage on SIM cards Call management reports

MONTHLY CONTRACT MINUTES MONITORING AND CONTROL

The TPT2000 FCT is able to monitor mobile call usage for particular SIMs against pre-programmed minutes thresholds. Should the total minutes used approach the pre-programmed limit, the TPT2000 can be programmed to deny the usage of the particular SIM for further calls. This prevents mobile calls slipping outside the SIM contract allowance which would otherwise result in inflated mobile call charges.

To enable this feature, the TPT2000 has to be programmed to identify the SIM or SIMs that are to be monitored. Against each SIM, the total minutes is then specified and optionally a time and monthly date when the SIM can be re-enabled and the total minutes used for the new period reset.

It is also possible to specify how the TPT2000 handles attempted calls through a disabled SIM. If the TPT2000 is deployed as a router with an analogue trunk connection then it can be instructed to route the calls over the PSTN instead. If the TPT2000 is being used in gateway configuration (without any PSTN trunks) then if it is unable to place the call on an alternative SIM it will return a warning tone to the user when a mobile call is attempted.

The TPT2000 can also be programmed to call a central management facility to report both the level of SIM usage and, exceptionally, that a SIM has been isolated as a result of the current minutes allowance being reached.

The combination of these TPT2000 SIM management features provides the telecommunications and facilities manager with powerful tools for the timely and accurate reporting of mobile call usage and enables correct budgeting and accurate planning.
