U.K. IP telephony hardware and software vendor Aculab has rolled out Aculab Cloud, which it says is a scalable on-demand platform-as-a-service that brings together software traditionally loaded onto voice boards or available to download onto host processors.
Aculab said the telephony platform reduces management costs, and allows companies to scale in the cloud as needed without additional hardware costs, reducing capex.
Aculab Cloud comes with a set of high level telephony APIs, making it easier for developers to build telephony applications quickly, the company said. Included in the service are features like:
  • International inbound PSTN service and outbound PSTN service;
  • Play, record;
  • TTS, conferencing (for up to 400 parties);
  • Transfer, DTMF, CPA, live speaker detection, answer machine detection and many more essential features for building a diverse range of solutions.
Aculab has beta tested the solution with several high-volume customers, running some 3 million minutes (and growing) through the platform in January, it said.
