Our Network

ClearIP is built on Teleware SIP based soft switch platform bringing together the “best of both worlds”; the reliability, functionality, rich application sets of a PBX with the flexibility and ubiquity of IP networks

Connectivity into ClearIP is highly versatile

While it is expected that the majority of customers will utilize XDSL, this is purely a tariff and access issue. We can support service over the most cost effective access type for the customer. Under our preferred deployment, customer call traffic will not traverse the public Internet and is “on net” to us. In this way we can control the quality of the call from the network core out to the end user telephone.

Resilience

The Clear IP network core features rock solid, geographically redundant network integrity. This gives users the assurance of "Five 9’s" [99.999% uptime] without the need to make resilient design decisions and cope with the related cost penalties.

An array of checks and balances are in place for the system to self diagnose and manage itself. Fail over is automatic without the need for technical staff decision making.

Business Continuity

In the event that the service is compromised all inbound calls are automatically rerouted.

The on-site router will switch to survivability mode where all calls will be routed out through local ISDN [provided that optional local ISDN has been provisioned]. When the router detects that the ClearIP network is available, normal service will resume.

Security

There is no possibility of third party’s intercepting calls on the Clear IP network.

User access to the system is strictly partitioned and there is rigorous, multi – layer authentication to the network core.

The ClearIP network is distributed between two London data centers and is patrolled 24/7.
