Class 5 softswitches are nothing new but the fact remains that carriers and service providers still use hardware Class 5 switches to serve the retail segment. There are inherent issues with hardware switches so the sooner you make the switch to software-based solutions the more benefits you will enjoy.

Hardware switch is no longer viable

There are inherent advantages to class 5 softswitch so it is not surprising hardware-based solutions are on the decline. Maintenance is expensive and manufacturer-suppliers are phasing out support. It is not easy to find spares and parts and scalability is another problem. As if that is not enough there are issues of PSTN connectivity and ability to handle MF, ISUP, and SIP trunk groups and all the various codecs now in use for audio-video and the fact that mobile technologies must also be factored in. Service providers find it more expensive and passing on costs to end retail consumers is no solution given the intense competition. Frequent breakdowns and stoppage of service is not something customers like and this is likely to happen with legacy switches. The way out is to switch to retail class 5 softswitch solutions. Apart from doing away with bottlenecks and costs as well as the space required for hardware and power consumption, the transition to softswitch brings in other benefits.
