  Protocols

The Mizu VoIP server is based on the open SIP standards and it has all the common communication protocols built-in to ensure compatibility with a broad range of devices.
Transport protocols: UDP, TCP, HTTP (clear text, XML, JSON, JSONP, SOAP, RDF), websocket (with NAT and proxy handling).
Encryption: HTTPS, TLS, DTLS, SRTP, VPN, custom RSA based and sophisticated obfuscation to bypass all kinds of VoIP blockages in affected countries.
Call protocols: SIP/SIPS, H.323, WebRTC, RTMP with RTP/RTCP for the media.
Codec support: G.729, G.723.1, G.711 (PCMU/PCMA), G.726, G.722, GSM, iLBC, L16, Speex, Opus and bypass all video codec (H.261, H.263, H.264, MPEG 1/2/4, Theora, VP8, VP9)
Codec transcoding and signalling protocol conversion.
A long list of supported RFC's including: 2543, 3261, 2976, 3262, 2617, 3263, 3265, 3420, 3515, 3311, 3581, 3842, 3891, 3325, 2778, 3428, 1889, 2327, 2833, 3264, 3550, 3555 and others.

 
  Performance

Using C/C++ language and with high performance in mind, the softswitch has been built by Mizutech from scratch. It boasts with a carefully designed architecture and multithreading to take out the most from your hardware.
The best coding practices and techniques are leveraged at all hot-spot corners of the code, such as IOCP, lock-free data structures, optimized database operations, caching and kernel mode RTP routing.
The service is capable to route up to 8000 simultaneous B2B calls on a standalone server with full stateful proxy and topology hiding. You can easily extend your system by adding more app servers or using SIP load balancer. Optimized for both:
-SMP: it can take advantage of up to 30 CPU core per single instance (or just launch multiple instances if you have more cores)
-low cost hardware: it can easily handle 500 simultaneous call even on hardware which can barely run the windows OS, such as a dual core cpu with 3 GB RAM and 64 GB disk. Scalability can be easily achieved by just adding more app servers.
 
  Multi-purpose

The Mizu VoIP server is a multi-functional solution that can be used for numerous purposes, including:
-PBX for small business
-VoIP retail business with Class 5 features
-VoIP wholesale business, VoIP call termination and SIP trunks with Class 4 transit routing
-Carriers and enterprise usage
-Special purposes such as SBC ,SIP proxy, codec transcoding and others
-Special businesses such as residential VoIP, MVNOs, callcenters, calling cards, conference or call-shops
-And many more
 
  Security

The VoIP server is secure by default. Some of the techniques leveraged to protect your data and customers are:
-best coding practices and automated tests
-rate limiter (for sip messages, api calls, simultaneous calls, credits)
-built-in dynamic firewall and blacklists
-address/session/user level DOS attack preventions
-flexible robust authentication
-encryption support (TLS/HTTPS, SRTP, custom RSA based VoIP tunneling)
-Windows OS security
 
  API

The mizu sever API allows a client program (web/mobile/desktop applications) to connect to a server instance and issue commands defined by the server API.
The API is very flexible about the authentication (multiple levels, username/password or IP based) and the access protocol used (virtually supports all the possible transports: UDP, TCP, TLS, HTTP, HTTPS, websocket, SIP, SMS). The data can be exchanged in plain text, URL parameters, HTML form, ini format, XML, SOAL, RDF and JSON.
A long list of functions are supported, including new user registration, balance/rating request, sendchat, sendsms and many others. 
Integration with your existing services is also possible by calling external apps and services or with external authentication/routing and billing. The built-in web control panel is also fully parameterized and it can easily be integrated with your website.
You also have full access to the VoIP database capable to manipulate user records and any other data with a simple SQL.
 
  Routing

This is a sophisticated, yet an easy to use module designed to process the incoming and outgoing calls based on your configurations.
Calls between internal users (extensions) are handled automatically, while for outbound calls to mobile/pstn networks you can define your rules to select a destination server (a gateway or a carrier).
You can define multiple routing patterns and for each pattern you can add multiple outbound servers.
Routing patterns can be defined by caller/called/called prefix/tech prefix/caller group/call type/time and day
If more than one direction is set for a routing pattern, the outbound server can be selected using load balancing, priority, weighting, LCR, quality based or a combination of these.
Servers can failover if their statistics are below the thresholds, thus automatically decreasing their priority.
Unlimited number of complex routes, dial plans and rewrite rules are supported.
 
  Media server

The built-in media server is responsible for routing the audio, video, fax and other media packets.
-kernel mode packet routing allows a high amount of RTP proxied calls
-full codec support: all common codec's are supported including G.729, G.723.1, G.711, G.726, G.722, GSM, iLBC, Speex, Opus and video codecs
-HD audio wideband support
-codec transcoding (if enabled)
-NAT handling, auto offloading the RTP based on clients� networks, capabilities and settings
-RTCP, announcements, conference, echo test, SDP features
-Built-in TURN and STUN servers

Create any billing plan from easy to use user interface defining various conditions for billing rules such as caller/called/prefix/time and many others.
The billing can be performed with various billing steps, minimum amount, free amount and has support for multiple currencies including currency per user.
The server will generate a CDR record after each call with detailed billing details. Complex statistics and invoices can be generated based on these records.
Recharge and E-Payment is also supported. A few providers (such as PayPal) are included by default and the list can be extended with new ones.
 
  Resellers

The reseller module is a business feature and it means a multilayered child/parent relationship structure to support your resellers/partners/sales agents.
Resellers are supported with unlimited levels of relationship with both post and prepaid billing.
Resellers can administrate their account from a web interface (add endusers, add sub-resellers, create tariff plans, recharge, view CDR's and statistics).

  Number portability

With the number portability module the country specific portability database can be imported into the database and the service will take this into consideration when routing the calls, by routing each number to its real owner carrier. LNP is also supported for the local service by off routing ported DID's.
  Tunneling and encryption

By using encrypted VoIP transport users will be able to communicate confidentially and your VoIP traffic cannot be sniffed and blocked by third party agencies or corporate firewalls.

  Callback and P2P

With these features users are able to make a call via the server even without internet access.
Callback and P2P (phone to phone call) allows interconnection of 2 endpoints on demand, initiated by making a traditional call to an access number (unconnected) or from the web interface.
