In this Kwebbl Autumn Update we would like to share with you the latest developments and releases of Kwebbl.
Despite the hectic situation in the eastern regions of Ukraine the Kwebbl team in Kiev has developed some fantastic new features. In this update you’ll find a brief description of our releases in the last few weeks. Many other exciting features are on our roadmap and we are working hard to get these new features to you as soon as possible. We can hardly wait to share all these features with you.
The Destination Whitelist
Kwebbl’s highest priority is providing a highly stable and secure telephony environment for its customers. For that reason Kwebbl introduces the Destination Whitelist. With this new security feature providers get the possibility to allow and block outgoing calls to world regions or more specific countries within these regions. For each country the provider can select specific destination types that he wishes to allow or block, like calls to mobile, fixed, satellite and freephone destinations. Multiple customers can share the same Destination Whitelist, and the provider is able to create multiple Destination Whitelists to suit the needs of specific groups of companies. Exceptions to these Destination Whitelists can easily be made for one specific customer, so there is no need to create a new whitelist for each slightly different customer. For the security of all its customers Kwebbl created a default Destination Whitelist that excludes the countries with most risks for fraud.
Allow or Block Prefixes and Numbers
Included in the Destination Whitelist is also the ability to allow or block specific prefixes or specific numbers. It is for instance possible to block prefixes like +31900 (premium rate numbers) or +3120 (region Amsterdam). With this feature you can also make exceptions to the country whitelist, for instance if you blocked access to Germany but still need to call 1 specific number in this country.
Trunking
Kwebbl’s platform offers a highly stable and secure trunking functionality. As a result of the GEO redundant setup and the distributed database, Kwebbl offers inbound trunking facilities using a redundant setup in multiple datacenters. Each trunk consists of two SIP accounts, which allows seamless failover for both inbound and outbound calls. Because of this dual account set up the enduser is in charge of this failover, he can for instance configure the accounts in 2 separate PBXes to allow inbound failover if one of them fails. The trunking feature integrates with all Kwebbl’s security systems, including the fraud detection, call limits and destination whitelists.
Kwebbl aims to support as many (virtual) PBX devices and software platforms as possible, like Digium Asterisk, Elastix, Patton, 4PSA Voipnow, 3CX and 2600HZ Kazoo.
Personal Dial Plan
For some time now every Kwebbl user has been abe to manage his own personal Dial Plan from the user panel. With easy drag and drop the user can take control of how calls to his own number are handled, he can for instance make a transfer to his mobile phone and turn on the voicemail if he doesn’t pick up. In the near future we aim to add huntgroups, which are already available in Company Dial Plans, as a new feature for Personal Dial Plans.
