Programmatical PSTN trunking for cloud hosted applications

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, the non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer software comprising a set of instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the apparatus to:
• determine one or more first network interconnection characteristics associated with a first entity service provider within a call service network operated by a call network service provider;
• and
• based on the determined one or more first network interconnection characteristics associated with the first entity service provider, cause a network provisioning application layer (“NPAL”) to establish one or more network interconnections between a first network associated with the first entity service provider and the call service network, by establishing shared peering connections between the first network and the call service network, the shared peering connections enabling a plurality of customers of the first entity service provider to establish call service connections that are shared over the shared peering connections,
• wherein establishing the shared peering connections comprises building trunk groups between one or more first entity service provider session border controllers (“SBCs”) disposed within the first network and one or more call network service provider SBCs disposed within the call service network.
