Scaling from 10 agents to 55

10 seat servers can be combined into a multi server setup.
Each additional server gives you added capacity of 9 agents. E.g. 3 servers get you 28 agents.
Upto 6 such servers can be added together for a total capacity of 55 agents.
Each server is separately charged at USD1/hr. E.g 3 servers will cost USD3/hr.
All agents log into the "master" server. The slave servers are used only to configure the agent phones.
All administrative work can be done with just the master running, except for downloading the recordings.
All servers need not be running at all times. Use this facility when you have less agents.
USD90 setup cost per slave server, no setup charge for the master.
Your online console has a page to start and stop all your servers.
Each server can dial 30 lines simultaneously. E.g. 3 servers will let you have 90 lines for 28 agents.
You can add slave servers as your campaign picks up speed, letting you add capacity in small steps.

Scaling from 40 agents to 220

Your 10 seat server can be converted to a 40 seat one charged at USD4/hr.

Bandwidth for Hosted Dialer

Predictive Dialers dial more lines than there are agents, because most calls are not answered or land in voice mail. Predictive dialing thus uses much more bandwidth than manual dialing. The ratio of lines dialed to agents is called pacing ratio in dialer terminology. If pacing ratio is 2.5, and you have 10 agents, the dialer will dial 25 calls simultaneously. This is explained in the diagram.

If the dialer is in your premises, you must cater to bandwidth for 25 calls, whereas if it is hosted with us, you need to cater to just 10 calls.

VoIP Requirements

To use the dialer with VoIP (SIP), you need the following:

Softphone and head set for each agent. Use X-Lite®. Its free!
Hardphone for each agent as alternative for Softphone.
Hardphone = ata or channel bank + dial pad + headset.
Bandwidth of 30kbps/agent. This can be a leased line or broadband.
Dialer operator with past experience in administering dialers
Codec is speex on agent phone (X-Lite or similar)
The upload speed of broadband is to be considered; usually is 256-756kbps
Click here and here to measure your upload speed
Multiple broadband connections can be used in parallel
Bandwidth must not be shared with data downloads/uploads
