What is PSTN Gateway for Office 365?
Service provider grade PSTN
PSTN Gateway for Office 365 lets you bring the benefits of service provider grade PSTN into Office 365. For a fixed one-off cost PSTN Gateway for Office 365 is installed into your data centre, configured and integrated with your Skype for Business Online tenant and your choice of PSTN access service: either integrated via your PBX or directly using the PSTN for Office 365 service from OMOVO.
Inclusive with this installation is the preparation of the Gateway for remote management should you elect to have OMOVO help with in-life monitoring and management of the platform through our optional Managed Cloud PBX+ service wrap.
Why Service Provider Grade PSTN?
PSTN access from Microsoft can be sufficient for very small businesses but as a larger organisation your telecom needs are more complex and demand additional capability to keep your business running.

Why PSTN Gateway for Office 365?
PSTN Gateway for Office 365 is a core component of our integrated product portfolio. When combined with our PSTN Service (PSTN for Office 365) and our in-life Management services (Managed Cloud PBX+) the burden of connecting Skype for Business to the PSTN is completely removed from your IT team. Certainly there are many other Cloud Connector Edition based platforms available on the market but none deliver as integrated a service instead leaving the remaining components as separate activities for your IT department to deal with.
No new Monitoring and Management
Consider how the new appliance will be monitored and managed in-life – do you have the tools? Time? Interest? With PSTN Gateway for Office 365 Monitoring and Management can be added-on easily with our Managed Cloud PBX+ service. Take it when you need it and keep it only for as long as you need it.
No Hidden Costs
With other Cloud Connector Edition appliances it is not just the one-off cost of the unit but it also comes with ongoing software license charges and/or hardware and software maintenance fees.
No new Expertise Required
PSTN Gateway for Office 365 is configured for you out of the box at no additional charge, with other Cloud Connector Edition appliances the configuration of the appliance to integrate with your environment is either an additional professional service charge or additional time burden to your finite internal resources.
