Create instant bilateral or multilateral connections and capacity augments
Managing multiple direct interconnects is complex, time-consuming and requires significant expense in back-office processes. PTGi’s PrivateExchangeSM enables retail service providers and carriers to easily and cost-effectively create virtual interconnections and aggregate existing interconnections with corresponding carriers that have direct routes into their markets. Users negotiate rates and volumes between themselves using an online tool. PTGi routes, bills and settles between the designated parties.
How it Works
PrivateExchangeSM members use their existing connections to the PTGi Network to exchange traffic with each other via direct trading invitations. Members can connect immediately to other PTGi members, customers or suppliers and begin exchanging traffic the same day. They can also introduce new carriers to the PTGi platform under simple commercial terms. Members negotiate rates directly; PTGi then routes the traffic and settles trade balances using those terms. Sophisticated on-line reporting and tools allow each member to manage its traffic flow.
