What Are MCC CC Routes?

Wholesale voice routing for call-center traffic requirements.

MCC CC Routes is part of MCC's wholesale voice offering for organizations with call-center and outbound dialer traffic requirements. If your organization runs outbound dialing campaigns or operates voice platforms serving call-center clients, contact MCC to discuss whether CC Routes is the right fit for your traffic profile.

Call-center traffic has characteristics that differ from general voice traffic: high call-per-second rates, short-duration calls (particularly for unanswered attempts), and high concurrent call volumes. These characteristics matter when evaluating a wholesale voice route's suitability for your operation. Our guide to CLI, Non-CLI and CC route types explains how call-center routes differ. Discuss your traffic profile and technical requirements with MCC.

For general outbound voice traffic that is not call-center or dialer-specific, see MCC Wholesale Voice.

How CC Route traffic flows

How call-center routes are evaluated

Buyers of call-center traffic routes evaluate on the following criteria. These are standard industry metrics — confirm how they apply to MCC CC Routes during your evaluation.

CLI and NCLI

Calling Line Identification (CLI) routes present the originating caller ID number to the called party. NCLI routes do not. CLI routes typically achieve higher answer rates; NCLI routes are used where CLI presentation is not required or not available. CLI vs NCLI routes explains the answer-rate trade-off. Confirm CLI and NCLI availability with MCC.

ASR — Answer Seizure Ratio

The percentage of call attempts that are answered. For call-center dialer traffic, ASR is a primary quality indicator — it directly affects how many connects the dialer achieves per hour. Higher ASR means more answered calls per attempt.

ACD — Average Call Duration

The average length of completed calls. For call-center traffic with many short-duration calls (unanswered, AMD, or quick disconnects), ACD can be lower than general traffic averages. Some routes are designed to accommodate this traffic profile.

CPS — Calls Per Second

The rate at which new calls can be initiated. Predictive dialers generate high CPS bursts that standard routes may throttle or reject. When evaluating CC Routes, discuss your CPS requirements with MCC to confirm what capacity is available for your traffic profile.

PDD — Post Dial Delay

The time between when the call is placed and when the destination phone begins ringing. Lower PDD is important in dialer workflows where agents are connected as soon as a call answers — high PDD creates a perceptible delay and reduces effective talk time.

Concurrent calls

The maximum number of simultaneous calls the voice trunk can handle. Predictive dialers run significantly more concurrent attempts than the number of active agents — route and trunk capacity must accommodate the full concurrent attempt count, not just connected calls. Confirm capacity with MCC during evaluation.

CLI vs NCLI for call-center traffic — a practical comparison

The route type you choose for call-center traffic directly affects answer rates. Here is how CLI and NCLI routes differ for outbound dialer operations.

AreaCLI RouteNCLI Route
Caller ID presentation Originating number presented to the called party No caller ID — called party sees no number or unknown
Answer rate expectation Generally higher — recipient can see who is calling Generally lower — number not visible to recipient
Common usage Outbound campaigns where presenting a number improves answer rates — customer service follow-up, collections, verification calls Traffic types where CLI is not required or where destination/regulatory considerations make NCLI appropriate
Route considerations CLI delivery consistency across destinations is a standard evaluation criterion alongside ASR ASR and PDD are the primary quality metrics — no CLI delivery to evaluate

CLI and NCLI availability for CC Routes depends on destination. Confirm availability with MCC for your specific routes and traffic profile. See also: CLI vs NCLI routes explained.

How to request CC Routes from MCC

1

Share your dialer and traffic profile

Contact MCC with your dialer type, estimated CPS, concurrent call count, and destination mix. This information shapes the route discussion and confirms whether CC Routes is the right fit.

2

Specify route type requirements

Confirm whether you need CLI or NCLI routes, or both. Indicate your destination priorities so MCC can advise on route availability and pricing for those specific destinations.

3

Review route availability and pricing

MCC will provide available routes and pricing for your profile. CC route pricing varies by destination, route type, and traffic volume — there is no public rate card.

4

Test before committing production traffic

Before routing live campaign traffic, test route quality — specifically ASR and PDD for your target destinations and CPS handling for your dialer's call rate.

5

Move production traffic

Once route testing confirms quality and capacity, production traffic moves to the provisioned routes. MCC's team is the ongoing point of contact for route performance and escalation.

Who uses CC Routes?

Outbound call centers

Organizations running outbound campaigns with predictive or progressive dialers — where call volume and CPS requirements may not be suited to standard retail trunks. Contact MCC to discuss your profile.

Dialer platform operators

VoIP platforms or dialer software companies that need wholesale termination capacity for their customers' call-center traffic — rather than retail per-seat trunks. Contact MCC to discuss available options.

Resellers serving call-center clients

Resellers and service providers whose customers include outbound call-center operations with high-volume traffic requirements.

Note: Businesses operating outbound dialing campaigns are responsible for evaluating their calling practices against applicable laws, consent requirements, calling-time rules, and do-not-call obligations. MCC CC Routes is a voice termination service — compliance with applicable calling regulations is the responsibility of the organization operating the dialing campaigns.

Discussing your traffic profile with MCC

Traffic characteristics that matter when evaluating wholesale voice routing for call-center operations:

Traffic factors to discuss with MCC

  • Your estimated calls-per-second (CPS) rate
  • Expected concurrent call count
  • Average call duration and volume of short-duration / unanswered calls
  • Whether CLI or NCLI route presentation is required (confirm availability)
  • Destination mix and coverage requirements

General Wholesale Voice

For outbound voice traffic that is not call-center or dialer-specific, MCC Wholesale Voice may be the more appropriate starting point. Whether CC Routes and general wholesale voice are distinct product lines or different configurations is a question to confirm directly with MCC.

No. MCC Contact Center is software for managing customer interactions — with agent seats, call queues, IVR, skills-based routing, and supervisor tools. CC Routes is a wholesale voice termination service at the network layer. The two serve different purposes and different buyers. See MCC Contact Center if you are looking for agent and queue management software.

Call-center dialer traffic has a distinct profile: high calls-per-second rates, many short-duration calls (unanswered attempts), and high concurrent call counts. Standard general-purpose routes may not suit this traffic pattern. When discussing CC Routes with MCC, share your CPS requirements, concurrent call count, and traffic characteristics so MCC can advise on suitability.

MCC Wholesale Voice is broad-purpose voice termination for carriers, ITSPs, and general outbound traffic. CC Routes is the MCC offering for organizations with call-center and dialer traffic requirements — but whether these are technically distinct products or different configurations of the same service is best confirmed directly with MCC. Contact sales to discuss which is appropriate for your traffic profile.
