Telecommunications Exchange

Exchange Overview

A Transparent Marketplace for Telecom Trading

The Minutes Network Telecommunications Exchange fundamentally reimagines how carriers buy and sell capacity. Our marketplace replaces opaque bilateral negotiations with transparent, real-time price discovery and automated instant settlement.

Real-Time Rate Discovery

Live order books display current bid and ask prices for every destination. Transparent pricing eliminates information asymmetry between carriers, ensuring fair market rates at all times.

Instant Settlement

Trades settle in under 3 seconds. No more net-30 or net-60 payment terms - funds are released immediately upon verified call delivery via CDR reconciliation.

Automated Interconnection

Once a trade is matched, our platform automatically provisions SIP trunks, configures routing tables, and enables traffic flow - reducing interconnection time from weeks to minutes.

Transparent Pricing

Every rate, every trade, every CDR is recorded on an immutable ledger. Carriers can audit pricing history, verify route performance, and benchmark rates against market averages in real time.

Buyer Protection

Built-in fund protection for both buyers and sellers. Funds are held securely and only released when both parties confirm successful delivery, eliminating counterparty risk entirely.

Multi-Currency Support

Trade in USD, EUR, and GBP. Our exchange supports instant currency conversion with competitive FX rates, enabling seamless cross-border transactions for global carriers.

How It Works

Carrier-to-Carrier Trading in 4 Simple Steps

Our exchange streamlines the entire trading workflow from rate discovery to settlement, removing friction at every stage of the carrier interconnection process.

Discover Rates

Browse real-time order books for any destination worldwide. Filter by quality tier, route type, ASR thresholds, and price range. View historical pricing trends and market depth for informed decision-making. Set up price alerts for specific destinations to never miss an opportunity.

Place Orders

Submit buy or sell orders with your desired rate, volume, and quality requirements. Choose between market orders for instant execution or limit orders that wait for your target price. Specify minimum ASR, maximum PDD, and CLI requirements for quality-assured trading.

Automatic Matching

Our matching engine pairs buyers and sellers based on price, volume, and quality criteria. When a match is found, interconnection is provisioned automatically within seconds - SIP trunks, routing, codecs, and failover are all configured without manual intervention.

Instant Settlement

As traffic flows, CDRs are reconciled in real time. Our settlement engine verifies delivery and releases payments instantly. Both parties receive detailed settlement reports with full audit trails. Disputes are flagged and resolved automatically using verified records.
