Network & quality

Quality you can measure

Our network operations centre (NOC) monitors every route around the clock, so your traffic to the United States and Canada keeps flowing at the quality your customers expect.

Overview

Great routes are only part of the story. Keeping them great takes constant attention. At Altaris, our network operations centre watches route performance around the clock, tracks the measures that matter and acts quickly when something changes.

That means you don't have to wonder how your traffic is performing. Quality is something we measure and manage every day, not something we promise once and forget.

Built on Tier-1 routes

Quality starts with the routes themselves. All Altaris traffic runs over Tier-1 routes: premium routes known for high answer rates, stable call durations and clear audio. Our monitoring makes sure those routes keep performing the way they should.

The numbers we watch

We track the key industry measures of call quality on our routes:

  • ASR (Answer-Seizure Ratio)

    The percentage of call attempts that are answered. A healthy ASR shows that calls are reaching people and being picked up.

  • ACD (Average Call Duration)

    How long connected calls last on average. Stable call durations are a strong sign of good audio quality and genuine conversations.

  • PDD (Post-Dial Delay)

    The time between dialling and hearing the phone ring. Lower PDD means a faster, smoother experience for the caller.

  • NER (Network Effectiveness Ratio)

    How well the network delivers calls, regardless of whether the person answers. It shows the health of the route itself.

Together, these numbers give a clear picture of how a route is performing and help us spot problems early.

24/7 network operations centre

Voice traffic doesn't stop at the end of the working day, and neither do we. Our NOC monitors routes 24 hours a day, seven days a week, across every time zone our partners work in.

  • Continuous monitoring

    Route performance is watched around the clock.

  • Early detection

    Changes in quality are spotted quickly.

  • Fast response

    Our team acts to protect your traffic when performance shifts.

  • Clear communication

    We keep you informed until any issue is resolved.

When quality changes

Even the best networks see changes from time to time. When our monitoring shows a drop in performance, our NOC investigates the cause and takes action to restore quality as quickly as possible. Our goal is to resolve issues before they affect your customers, and to keep you informed every step of the way.

What it means for our partners

  • Fewer surprises, thanks to early detection of quality changes.
  • A team you can reach when you need help, day or night.
