Microsoft Direct Routing Made Easy

Are you considering Microsoft Teams Phone System for your company's phone system needs? If so, you've likely come across a solution called Direct Routing as a Service. In this blog post, we'll break down what Direct Routing as a Service is and how it can benefit your organization.

What is Microsoft Direct Routing?

What are some options for getting dial tone to Microsoft Teams Phone System? Well, one option is to get a calling plan through Microsoft and pay a monthly fee per extension. Another option is to connect your company's on-premise phone lines, such as SIP trunks, PRI or even Analog lines, to your Microsoft Teams application using Direct Routing.

Direct Routing does what it sounds like - it connects your Microsoft Teams application to the dial tone you have at your office through an on-site appliance called an SBC. However, managing the SBC and ensuring proper codec programming can be a headache, as can troubleshooting call quality.
