    Hi,


    Some good links provided by the previous person but essentially, you will need an SBC. You would sit this in between your incoming SIP Trunk and your Mitel. Audiocodes\Ribbon would be the 2 main vendors.

    You would then setup a Direct Routing connection between the SBC and Teams. When calls come into the SBC from the ITSP, you can then send the call to either Teams or the Mitel allowing you to demo calls and then eventually do a staged migrated approach.

     

    A word of warning. If you've had no knowledge of SBC's then I would recommend engaging a 3rd party who's used to rolling out Direct Routing.  There's also a number of companies who offer hosted voice solutions for Teams PSTN to be demonstrated so you can test before purchasing an on-prem SBC.

     

    Hope that helps.

Hi Deric.

I can help you with the Teams and SBC demo if you’d like. We can set up a small demo environment on your system. You’ll need some resources for this. I can send you an email containing these if you’re interested.
