Centralized saves money and for me time.I don't do SRST at remote sites
because if the network is down. most staff can't work or answer questions. and
for 911 when the network is down, most people have cell phones.All the
conferencing and resources are at the headend so that saves BW.and if you need
more ports, you go into the vendor's portal and increase as needed.For 911, I
use CER and use the network its on to get the correct ERLIN and save money by
not having every number setup as 911. and if a phone is moved to another
loacation, don't have to worry about updating 911.

Yes it would.
Brings up other concerns….
911 for example…. Local pots line… multiple WAN circuits…. To resolve
that….
Can the site survive without PSTN if its single hosted?
what happens if you loose the DC Wan connect? What do your sites do…. Do
you have resources to handle those calls during the outage. (Vmail,, or a ton
of ports in IVR)
Do you have enough bandwidth from the DC to the branches?
What codec will you support? G729/G711. (Remember not customers support
G729, and not all carriers will “normalize” their network).
Example ATT will route calls to other att customers without leaving
their cloud, if they can’t do G729 and that is how you start the call, it will
fail. (ATT is changing this FYI)
QOS policy?
Business support.. IE in we can save money, but a failure might mean loss
of calls…. Are they ok with this.
DSP resources. Do you have enough to support Conferencing…… etc
Firewalls, Does your firewall team block access branch to branch… do you
need to setup relays?
VPN….. Jabber access… Concerns with voice parts across the branches..
Hope that helps. It is very much do-able, and can save lots of money. Just
need to think it through and not rush…. Its really no different then say a
branch being the data center for all the other sites…
