Microsoft Teams GCC High Teams Calling FAQs

What is Microsoft GCC High?

GCC High is a specialized cloud-based environment created in Microsoft to meet the stringent cybersecurity requirements of the Department of Defense (DoD) and federal contractors. It shares many features of the commercial version of Microsoft 365 but operates exclusively within the continental United States (CONUS), as mandated by FedRamp Moderate. GCC High caters to organizations handling sensitive information. 

How do you get Teams Calling with GCC High Office 365?

PSTN calling is only available to GCC High Office 365 customers in the form of Direct Routing. Microsoft Calling Plans are not available. So, you need to have a carrier that is qualified as a FedRamp Moderate equivalent cloud service provider. 

Why would I want to use Microsoft Teams for phone calls?

  • Simplified Setup: Microsoft Teams Calling offers a more straightforward setup process for your phone system as it is integrated with your Microsoft 365 administration. Just as you assign Outlook and Microsoft Office privileges to users, you can add their telephone direct inward dial number, extension, voicemail and add users to ACD groups. 

  • Scalability: It provides a scalable solution, making it easier for organizations to manage and expand their telephony capabilities within Teams.

  • Unified Experience: Users can have a unified communication experience within Teams, seamlessly integrating voice calling with other collaboration features.

What are the benefits of Direct Routing for Microsoft Teams?

  • Flexibility: Direct Routing allows organizations to use their existing telephony providers and infrastructure, providing greater flexibility in choosing a telecom partner.

  • Cost Control: Organizations can potentially save costs by leveraging existing telephony investments and negotiating favorable rates with telephony providers.

  • Customization: Direct Routing enables customization of telephony features based on specific organizational needs.

Are there other options for integration with Microsoft Teams Calling?

  • Microsoft Operator Connect: Integration is streamlined, as Microsoft handles much of the connectivity, but GCC High security is not available within Operator Connect. When choosing Operator Connect, it's important to verify compatibility with existing telephony providers. Atlantech Online is an authorized Operator Connect carrier.

  • Direct Routing: Integration requires configuring and managing Session Border Controllers (SBCs) for connectivity. It offers more control but requires technical expertise. Using Atlantech Online relieves you of this burden as we allow our customer to user our SBCs and we do the configuration for you.
