Softswitch

A softswitch is a technology used in telecommunications that acts as a central hub, managing voice calls over the internet or traditional networks. It replaces traditional hardware-based switches with software, enabling efficient call routing, billing, and management. By converting voice signals into digital data, a softswitch allows for flexible, cost-effective communication services, supporting both internet-based (VoIP) and traditional systems. Essentially, it simplifies and modernizes the way phone calls are connected and controlled, making telecommunications more scalable and adaptable to modern digital needs.
