A VoIP Web Service API for Everybody

Did you know that Junction Networks has a public web service API available to any of our customers that exposes all of the pieces necessary to manage your own hosted PBX and PSTN gateway services? In fact our admin.onsip.com web administration portal has been built entirely on top of the very same API that is open and available to the public - this means any feature you see in our administration portal is potentially available for you to implement in your very own VoIP product.

What does this mean for your business?

This means that you could build your own web portal to extend your product line to include a VoIP service without having to do the work of building the VoIP side of the service! You would be able to leverage all of the features from our OnSIP Hosted PBX and PSTN gateway products into your own product behind your own custom web portal. For example, let's say that you are a web host looking to augment your product offering in order to differentiate yourself from your competitors. By implementing the various pieces of the Junction Networks web service API you would allow your own customers to create and manage their own hosted PBX. You could even do some more advanced things like host your customers SIP domain in the primary domain that he has registered with your service already. Simply add an SRV record to identify Junction Networks as the domain's SIP service provider and the customer will be able to get their web, email, and voice service all from you - while you don't need to worry about any of the voice end of things. Additionally, you can implement your own pricing structure on top to fit your new VoIP offering to be in line with your current pricing. Since OnSIP never charges for users or extensions you can offer your implementation either with or without such charges - the choice is yours.

The benefits of implementing your new VoIP product offering this way is that you can continue to concentrate on your core business without a need to dedicate permanent valuable resources to building and maintaining your VoIP product. That's why we're here! It is our job to make sure that your VoIP services continue to stay up and working reliably.
