Case Study: an international communications carrier cuts routing costs with Ribbon Least Cost Routing

International Communications Carrier - Customer Case Study

An international communications carrier was struggling with a Least Cost Routing (LCR) solution that was costly to scale and took too much time to update with new partner pricing. Their old system had a low maximum capacity and required a separate hardware-based LCR engine for each server, boxing them in with high operational expenses and an inability to capitalize on new rate savings quickly. This prompted them to seek a new solution from Ribbon Communications.

Ribbon Communications implemented its integrated LCR solution on its Centralized Policy and Routing Server (PSX). This software-based application provided faster rate sheet loading, instant network-wide policy updates, and advanced routing calculations. The result was a seamless migration and a projected reduction in operational costs of more than 15% within the first year, allowing the carrier to handle more calls and take advantage of new rates almost instantly.
