ABSTRACT:
A telephony system for completing conference calls includes a premise-based network having a local controller coupled to local endpoints, a proxy, and a conference bridge. The telephony system includes a public telephone network coupled to the premise-based network. A request call is initiated to the proxy for setting up the conference call. The request call is routed to the conference bridge. A plurality of local endpoints for participation in the conference call is provided to the proxy via the request call. The local controller contacts the plurality of local endpoints and routes successful connections to the conference bridge. The request call and the successful connections are then bridged at the conference bridge.
