[cisco-voip] Expressway Design for new startup

[Ki Wi]

Hi James,
It definitely make more sense. However, if this is to go to spark, I will
need similar equipment upfront as well.

First create a UCM cluster.
Establish hybrid spark connectivity (this requires additional expressway C
instance for host connector stuff on top of expressway C&E pair)

Since I have 3 locations with voice gateways, it make sense to have 3
expressway (C&E) at least? If not, I can imagine that when I'm in US
calling someone US, the spark will connect to the UCM cluster located in
SG via that only expressway located in SG. The voice quality will be very
bad due to latency. The PSTN option directly via spark is very limited
currently.

The setup is more or less the same eventually. Most likely we might be able
to save on CUWL license cost if those roaming users doesn't need a phone
profile in CUCM?
