Direct Routing for Microsoft Teams

Organizations are adopting more agile business processes to accommodate a remote workforce, including closing empty offices, and focusing on other digital initiatives. At the same time, they should consider a more modern communications strategy. While using traditional telephone systems was enough to run a business even a few years ago, it isn’t in today’s digitized world. That’s why businesses are turning to Direct Routing for Microsoft Teams to streamline the way their employees communicate.

Peerless Network is a proven partner to quickly modernize company communication and collaboration efforts. We are a trusted provider for communication solutions and remote work initiatives.

The Peerless Network Direct Routing for Microsoft Teams is an original connection between Peerless Network’s SIP trunks to Microsoft Teams. Our seamless solution turns MS Teams into an office phone system with PBX integration capabilities.

What is Direct Routing?

Direct Routing is another way to connect Microsoft Teams to the public telephone network via Peerless Network. Peerless then routes incoming and outgoing calls via the cloud. Microsoft Teams goes beyond serving as the main internal communication platform. It can also be configured to be a fully functioning phone system via direct routing or a Microsoft calling plan.

Direct Routing allows you to connect Microsoft Teams voice service providers to access better call rates, increased flexibility, and customer support. Choose your own voice provider, integrate with other enterprise systems, and leverage the Microsoft Teams.

In comparison, a Microsoft calling plan can have its drawbacks as it is expensive and limited in availability. Oftentimes, porting phone numbers can be confusing with no dedicated customer support.

With Direct Routing for Microsoft Teams, businesses are able to:

  • Make and receive business calls
  • Engage in conference calls
  • Transfer calls
  • Voicemail
  • Instant Messaging
  • Unlimited File Sharing

How Direct Routing for Microsoft Teams Works

Direct Routing connects MS Teams to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) using two key elements:

  1. Session Border Controller (SBC), which is essentially a firewall for VoIP
  2. SIP Trunks
