Sprint is the only one that integrates with a softswitch to turn mobile <br>
handsets into extensions.<br>
<br>
Everyone thinks that it is easy to spin up a softswitch and start <br>
offering Hosted UC. There are so freaking many components that have to <br>
be stitched together.<br>
<br>
You can stitch together a BSFT replacement but the question will be: <br>
does it scale and is it stable? That question all depends on quantity, <br>
volume, usage, etc.<br>
<br>
That said, you should survey your current customer base to see what they <br>
need. It might not be unified messaging (chat, SMS, etc. in one <br>
interface). It might be software integration. It might be that most of <br>
your customers just want key system emulation.<br>
<br>
