Learn how to set up and manage multiple call center regions within your account to optimize connectivity and communication. This article covers key steps, including viewing available regions, checking network metrics, adding new regions, and assigning users to the best server locations.
With the new Call Center Regions feature, you can configure and manage multiple regions within your CommPeak Dialer or Cloud PBX account. Each region corresponds to a dedicated FreeSWITCH server, allowing users to connect to a server with the best network parameters for their physical location.
This setup reduces latency, leading to faster call connections, clearer voice quality, and more stable communication. Additionally, administrators can quickly assign or reassign agents to different regions as needed, ensuring optimal call routing and performance.
If managers want to whisper to agent calls, they must be in the same region as the agents.
Available Regions
The Call Center Regions page shows three available regions. You can check connectivity and link the region to your tenant.
To view the regions available to your account:
Go to Settings > General Settings and then switch to the Call Center Regions tab.
The system will start calculating ping and jitter stats for three selected server locations closest to you.
The Call Center Regions tab
After a brief moment, the system will display the calculated ping and jitter values, highlighted in different colors. Green indicates optimal connectivity, orange means a neutral status, and red warns of bad connectivity.

Assign Users to Regions
If you use several call center regions, you can assign users to any region as you wish. You can do this by adjusting settings for an individual user or for multiple users simultaneously.
