CC & dialer routes

CC routes built for dialers and agent floors

Capacity engineered for the way call centers actually dial: sustained concurrency, bursts at shift start, answering-machine detection and agents waiting on every connect. Stable routes, authorised caller ID and a NOC that answers while your campaign is live.

What it is

CC routes are wholesale capacity shaped for dialer traffic

A call center does not dial like an individual. A predictive dialer places several calls per available agent, predicting how many will be answered, and drops the rest the moment an agent is matched. A single campaign can open hundreds of simultaneous channels, with many calls ending in seconds because nobody answered or an answering machine picked up.

Carriers that are not built for that profile see it as abnormal. They throttle concurrency, reject calls at shift start or quietly move the traffic to lower-quality paths. The dialer keeps dialling, agents sit idle, and the campaign report shows a mysterious drop in contacts per hour.

CC routes are provisioned and contracted for dialer traffic from the start. We plan concurrency conservatively, agree the expected short-call ratio with downstream carriers, and handle early media and answering-machine detection signals correctly so your dialer can make good decisions in the first second of the call.

The goal is predictability. When you start a shift with a hundred agents, the capacity is there, the caller ID is the one you configured, and connects reach agents without dead air.

  • Dialer-aware capacity

    Concurrency and CPS planned for predictive and progressive dialling, including shift-start bursts.

  • Clean early media

    Ringback and progress tones pass through so AMD and call-progress analysis work accurately.

  • Authorised caller ID

    Present verified numbers per campaign or client; we deliver them on CLI-capable CC paths.

  • Campaign-time support

    A 24/7 NOC with escalation paths for live campaigns, not a next-business-day ticket queue.

Who it’s for

For operations that measure success in contacts per agent hour

If idle agents cost you money, the route under the dialer matters as much as the dialer itself.

  • 01

    Call centers

    Inside sales, retention, customer service outbound and lead follow-up on in-house agent floors.

  • 02

    BPOs

    Multiple client programmes, each with its own caller IDs, reporting and route profile in one account.

  • 03

    Dialer operators

    Hosted dialer platforms offering carrier capacity to their own tenants under sub-accounts.

  • 04

    Collections teams

    Agent-handled collections within local calling-hour limits and contact frequency rules.

How it works

How a dialer call reaches an agent

The first two seconds decide whether a call becomes a conversation. We keep them clean.

  1. Hop 1Your dialerPlaces calls at the configured ratio, with the campaign caller ID and your concurrency limit.
  2. Hop 2CLIRoutes edgeEnforces your channel limit, normalises numbers and selects the CC tier for each destination.
  3. Hop 3Dialer-ready carrierInterconnects contracted for short-call ratios and burst concurrency, passing early media.
  4. Hop 4Contact and agentThe recipient answers; your dialer bridges them to an available agent instantly.
Call path, left to right. Signalling and media stay on audited carrier interconnects at every hop.
  • Why dialer traffic fails elsewhere

    Unexpected concurrency and short-call ratios trip carrier fraud controls, causing throttling exactly when agents log in.

  • How we prevent it

    Expected profiles are agreed downstream, concurrency is planned with headroom and bursts are smoothed at our edge.

  • Abandon-rate discipline

    Clean early media and low PDD help your dialer predict accurately, which keeps abandoned calls within local limits.

Features

What you get with CC Routes

  • High, stable concurrency

    Channel limits sized to your agent count and dialling ratio, raised on request with a capacity check.

  • AMD-friendly early media

    Progress tones and early media passed through unaltered, so answering-machine detection is accurate.

  • Sub-accounts per client

    Separate endpoints, caller IDs, limits and reports for each programme or tenant.

  • Live campaign view

    Concurrent calls, CPS, short-call ratio and ASR per campaign, updated in real time.

  • Conservative capacity planning

    We do not oversell capacity. When a route is full, you get told — not silently moved to a worse path.

  • Live-campaign escalation

    Flag a campaign as live and get priority NOC response while it runs, around the clock.

Quality metrics

The numbers that matter here

For dialer traffic, read ASR and ACD together. A dialer naturally produces many short unanswered attempts; the trend matters more than any single number.

  • 52%

    ASR

    Answer-Seizure Ratio

    Lower than agent-dialled traffic by nature. Watch for sudden drops, which usually mean list quality or caller ID trouble.

  • 3.4min

    ACD

    Average Call Duration

    Your conversation length. Healthy ACD with falling ASR points to list issues; falling ACD points to route or CLI issues.

  • 2.1s

    PDD

    Post-Dial Delay

    Directly affects abandon rate: long PDD makes predictive algorithms over-dial.

  • 97%

    NER

    Network Effectiveness Ratio

    Separates network failures from no-answers, so you know whether to call the NOC or clean the list.

Gauge values are illustrative. Live per-destination ASR, ACD, PDD and NER are in your portal.

Compare

How this route compares

Most customers run two or three route types side by side. Use the one that matches each traffic profile — mixing them on one trunk is the most common cause of poor answer rates.

Compliance notes

Rules that keep this route stable

Dialer traffic is scrutinised by regulators and carriers alike. Good hygiene keeps your routes and your numbers healthy.

Read our compliance approach
  • DNC scrubbing

    Scrub lists against the applicable national registers (such as the US National DNC and UK TPS) and your internal suppression list.

  • Abandoned-call limits

    Many markets cap abandoned calls and require a message when no agent is available. Configure your dialer accordingly.

  • Calling hours

    Respect local calling windows in the recipient’s time zone. Optional enforcement at our edge is available.

  • Authorised caller ID

    Every campaign must present a number you own or are authorised to use, consistent with STIR/SHAKEN in North America.

The hidden cost of the wrong route under your dialer

A route that is slightly cheaper per minute but throttles at shift start, adds a second of post-dial delay or drops early media can cost far more in idle agent time than it saves. Agent salaries dominate call-center economics; carrier cost is a small fraction by comparison.

CC routes are priced and engineered with that in mind. The focus is on contacts per agent hour: consistent capacity, accurate call-progress signals and a caller ID that recipients recognise. Your rate deck is available in the portal after sign-up, alongside live quality for every destination you dial.

FAQ

CC Routes FAQ

Can’t find what you need? Our routing team answers within the hour, around the clock.

What is a CC route?

A CC (call-center) route is wholesale voice capacity provisioned for dialer traffic: high concurrency, bursts at shift start and a high share of short or unanswered attempts. It is contracted and monitored for that profile so it does not get throttled.

How is a CC route different from a CLI route?

Both deliver authorised caller ID. CLI routes prioritise the highest CLI quality for steadier, longer calls. CC routes prioritise stable concurrency and dialer behaviour. Many customers use both.

Which dialers are supported?

Any SIP-capable dialer. We publish guides for VICIdial, GoAutoDial, Asterisk-based dialers, FreePBX and 3CX, and our NOC helps with others.

How much concurrency can I get?

Concurrency is set per endpoint based on your agent count and dialling ratio, then raised as traffic proves healthy. Tell us your peak and we will confirm capacity before you scale.

Do CC routes work with answering-machine detection?

Yes. Early media and progress tones are passed unaltered, which AMD and call-progress analysis depend on.

Can I separate clients in one account?

Yes. Sub-accounts give each client or programme its own endpoints, caller IDs, limits, CDRs and reports.

What happens if a route degrades during a campaign?

Traffic fails over to other CC-tier paths for the destination, and the NOC is alerted automatically. You see the change in your live view.

Do I need to scrub against DNC lists?

Yes. You are responsible for scrubbing against applicable national do-not-call registers and honouring opt-outs. Our AUP requires it, and it directly protects answer rates.

Where can I see rates?

Your rate deck is available in the portal after sign-up, with destinations, breakouts and billing increments.
