| Additional Details | — | PortaOne offers a transparent, flexible, and predictable pricing structure for PortaSwitch, tailored to eliminate hidden fees and vendor lock-in. Customers can choose between two main commercial models depending on their business scale and deployment preferences: 1. Unlimited Perpetual License (On-Premise / Self-Hosted) A upfront, one-time payment that grants an unrestricted license to install the platform on a specified number of servers. This model features zero per-subscriber, per-active-seat, or per-SIM fees, allowing telecom operators to grow their subscriber base organically without progressive software licensing costs. 2. Monthly SaaS Subscription (Cloud-Hosted) A recurring monthly subscription hosted securely on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Pricing is based on a transparent value metric (such as active capacity or billable event volume) combined with an initial setup charge, making it ideal for agile deployments and start-ups. All commercial options include access to the product's open APIs and source code architecture. Technical support (via the PortaCare package), dual-version system updates every 7 weeks, and comprehensive onboarding/training programs are managed via custom quotes from the PortaOne sales team. | ||||||||||||||
