Interconnect voice software - since 2006

Route, rate and protect every interconnect call. On one platform.

GCS builds the Interconnect Command Platform (ICP), the software carriers use to run their wholesale voice business: a patented engine that routes each call in real time, automated vendor rate ingestion, rating and billing, and fraud blocking before traffic reaches the network.

Interconnect Command Platform

ICP sits beside your switches and decides where every call goes.

Your SBCs and switches carry the media. ICP answers the signaling: for each call it picks the route, then rates the record, bills it, checks it for fraud and reports on it - one system from vendor rate sheet to invoice.

Commercial

  • Carrier management
  • Billing and settlement
  • Intelligent routing (LCR / QoS)
  • Rate ingestion and administration
  • Pricing and deal management
GCS Interconnect Command Platform architecture Calls enter from the ingress network, pass through the carrier's SBC and switches, and leave to the egress network. Media flows straight through; signaling goes to the GCS Interconnect Command Platform, which returns the routing decision to the switches.

How ICP routes, rates and bills every call

The product suite

One common platform. Four modules on it.

ICP is the platform every call runs through. Rate administration, rating, routing and edge control are its four modules; hosting, number data and switching come as options.

Common platform

Interconnect Command Platform (ICP)

Run your interconnect voice business with speed, scale and control. ICP centralizes and automates vendor management, routing, pricing, finance, fraud detection and reporting, with real-time, no-loss least cost and quality based routing at its center.

Two of its modules split the core work: ICP-Rate rates, bills and settles every call, and ICP-Route decides where it goes, with the routing engine GCS patented in 2012.

Learn more about ICP
  • Margin and rules based routing
  • SPID and service level based routing
  • International and origination based routing (Euro zone)
  • Short duration call blending
  • Fraud prevention and detection
  • Reporting and analytics
Module

iRAS

The Interconnect Rate Administration Service automates every step of vendor rate management - ingesting, analyzing and transforming rate sheets for your routing and rating engines - and aligns new vendor rates with customer pricing.

  • Vendors email rate sheets straight into the system
  • Dynamic pricing engine and per-segment packages
  • Profitability analytics with real-time market data

Module

ICP-Rate

The commercial side of ICP. Every call record is rated in real time, invoiced and settled, with credit and assurance checks on the same data the routing engine used to place the call.

  • Real-time CDR rating, U.S. domestic and international
  • Invoicing, billing, settlement and carrier offset
  • Credit management, revenue and supplier assurance

Module

ICP-Route

The routing engine GCS patented in 2012. It decides each call on cost, quality, margin and commercial commitments, call by call.

  • More than 20 routing levers, from margin to SPID
  • U.S. domestic, LNP, LCADs and international routing
  • Automated quality management on ABR, ALOC, ASR and NER

Intelligent Edge

The edge load balancer (ELB). Working with the routing policy engine, it sends each call type to the right switch and SBC ports, and with the Network Defender option it keeps fraud, robocalls and attacks from entering at all.

  • Steers inbound, outbound, U.S., international, LNP, MNP and LCADs traffic
  • Separates retail from wholesale, valid from invalid, short duration from the rest
  • SHAKEN/STIR compliant

Our story

The engineers behind ITXC and InfiniRoute.

The people behind GCS have worked together for more than 25 years. They engineered ITXC, the first wholesale carrier to deliver voice over the public internet, then built the carrier network and platform at InfiniRoute.

At GCS they built the software from scratch, including what became the industry's first Dynamic SIP Routing Engine. They still operate networks themselves, which is why the product reads like it was written by the people who have to run it.

Read the GCS story and meet the team

  1. Late 1990s ITXC

  2. Before GCS InfiniRoute
