Voicemail with Unified Messaging

In addition, the system offers unified messaging features, enabling users to receive voicemail via alternative communications methods. Upon receiving a voicemail, Norfa system can send email notification to users or can send them an email with voicemail attachment.

Automated DID number distribution

Norfa system features automated DID distribution which enables providers to automatically assign incoming (DID) numbers to the CPE devices of their subscribers. With assigned DID numbers, incoming calls are directly routed to the subscriber’s extension without the intervention of the auto attendant.

Advanced auto attendant/IVR

Norfa system features advanced auto attendant which allows flexible system responses to user selections. The auto attendant is fully programmable and supports a large variety of responses including playing voice prompts or executing IVR scripts. All voice prompts are fully customizable.

Support for multiple protocols and protocol conversion

Norfa system supports all major VoIP protocols including H.323, SIP and MGCP to ensure seamless connectivity with virtually any VoIP network worldwide. If necessary, the system is also capable of converting protocols (e.g. SIP to H.323) which enables its deployment in protocol diverse infrastructure.

Automated provisioning of customer premises equipment

With Norfa’s automated customer premises equipment (CPE) provisioning feature, service providers can offer a true plug-and-play experience to their subscribers. Such feature enables providers to automatically configure the CPE devices of their subscribers via HTTP or TFTP requests to the Norfa system. Information exchange between Norfa and CPE devices during provisioning is encrypted and secure.

Multiple call routing mechanisms

To help providers reduce costs and improve quality of calls, Norfa system supports a growing number of routing mechanisms. The system currently offers least cost routing, average success rate routing, preferred endpoint routing, two-stage routing, internal routing, and route fail over.

Support for multiple voice codecs and codec translation

Norfa system supports all popular voice compression formats (codecs), including G711, G723.1, G726, G729A/B/AB, and GSM. If necessary, the system can translate voice calls from one codec to another (e.g. G711 to G726) to ensure smooth integration and interoperation with VoIP providers worldwide.

Follow me functionality

Norfa system offers follow-me functionality, enabling users to be reached globally via a single number. Whenever a call is placed to a system end-user, Norfa attempts to connect the call to a list of follow-me phone numbers specified by the user until the call is either picked up or transferred to voicemail (depending on settings). The follow-me list can contain local, long-distance, mobile and/or international numbers so that users can be reached globally.

E911 support

Norfa system fully complies with the latest regulatory requirements for E911 support. The system can route E911 calls to designated emergency centers based on user’s origination IP, caller ID, or zip code.
