Single Point of Network Interconnection
The Call Relay 60 aggregates all the traffic from the various IP endpoints and gateways within the
network and passes it to an endpoint at the “edge” of the another network, such as another Call
Relay 60 unit, IP phone or gateway. See

Single Point for Network Access and Administration
In each case, the Call Relay 60 provides a single IP address for entry to the complete network and
provides isolation between the networks in such a way that the internal structure of each remains
anonymous to the other. All voice calls and inter-network management function, including call man-
agement, administration, and call accounting, to pass over the single inter-network IP connection. A
complete Call Detail Record (CDR) is generated by every call passing through the Call Relay 60 in
each direction. This simplifies the process of cross billing between customers. Each partner can
compile data on traffic entering and exiting their network; they are then able to generate and audit
inter-company billing.
A innovative method of linking VoIP networks is to use the Call Relay 60 approach to interconnect
the networks and perform call management. This also takes advantage of the Packet Saver feature,
which minimizes bandwidth usage.
