Call origination
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Call Origination, also known as voice origination, refers to the collecting of the calls initiated by a calling party on a telephone exchange of PSTN, and handing off the calls to a VoIP endpoint or to another exchange or telephone company for completion to a called party.
In the VoIP world , the opposite of call origination is call termination, where a call initiated as a VoIP call is terminated to the PSTN.
The term is often used in referring to a VoIP trunking service.
