Browser Based Dialer
No Downloads Required
Start calling in seconds from any computer. AgentTech runs entirely in your web browser—no software to install, no IT headaches, no compatibility issues. Just log in and dial.
What is a Browser Based Dialer?
A browser-based dialer is a complete outbound calling platform that runs entirely within a standard web browser—Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari—with no software downloads, no desktop applications, no plugins, and no hardware beyond a computer and a headset. Agents simply navigate to a URL, log in with their credentials, and begin making calls immediately. The technology that makes this possible is called WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication), an open-source protocol built directly into modern browsers that enables real-time audio and video communication without any external software.
For insurance agencies, a browser-based dialer eliminates the most common barriers to deploying and scaling a call center operation. Traditional desktop dialers require IT teams to install software on every workstation, manage version updates across dozens or hundreds of machines, troubleshoot compatibility issues with different operating systems, and maintain VPN connections for remote workers. Each of these requirements adds cost, delays deployment, and creates potential points of failure. A browser-based dialer reduces all of this to a single requirement: a modern web browser and an internet connection.
AgentTech's browser-based dialer is not a stripped-down version of a desktop application—it is a full-featured insurance sales platform that includes every capability your agency needs: predictive dialing, progressive dialing, power dialing, preview dialing, built-in CRM, automated call recording, AI coaching, real-time monitoring, and compliance automation—all running natively in the browser with no performance compromises.
Deployment Speed: Traditional dialer software takes days or weeks to deploy across a team—coordinating IT installations, testing compatibility, configuring VPNs. AgentTech's browser-based dialer deploys in minutes. Send agents a link, they log in, and they are making calls. New agents can be productive within an hour of their start date.
How a Browser Based Dialer Works
Understanding the technology behind browser-based calling helps agencies make informed deployment decisions. Here is how AgentTech's browser dialer handles calls from connection to recording and beyond.
WebRTC Audio Connection
When an agent places a call, the browser establishes a WebRTC connection to AgentTech's cloud infrastructure. WebRTC uses the Opus audio codec with adaptive bitrate encoding, automatically adjusting audio quality based on available bandwidth. This delivers HD voice quality under normal conditions and graceful degradation on slower connections, ensuring calls remain clear and professional even on imperfect internet connections.
Cloud-Side Call Processing
All call routing, dialing logic, DNC scrubbing, and compliance checks happen server-side in AgentTech's cloud infrastructure. The browser handles only the audio stream and user interface—it does not need to process calling algorithms, manage phone lines, or store data locally. This means the agent's computer needs minimal processing power, and no sensitive data is stored on the local machine.
Encrypted Audio and Data Transmission
WebRTC mandates encryption by default—every audio stream is encrypted using SRTP (Secure Real-time Transport Protocol), and all signaling data uses DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security). This means that calls placed through AgentTech's browser-based dialer are encrypted end-to-end without any additional configuration, meeting the security requirements for handling insurance and health information.
Automatic Updates and Zero Maintenance
Because the application runs in the browser, updates are deployed server-side and take effect immediately for all users. There are no version mismatches between agents, no software update windows to schedule, and no risk of agents running outdated software with known bugs or security vulnerabilities. Every agent always has the latest features and security patches the moment they log in.
Cross-Platform Compatibility
AgentTech works identically on Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS. Whether your agents use enterprise desktops, personal laptops, or budget Chromebooks, the experience is the same. This flexibility is particularly valuable for agencies that hire remote agents who use their own devices—there is no need to standardize hardware or operating systems across your team.
Benefits of a Browser Based Dialer for Insurance
Browser-based technology delivers operational advantages that traditional installed software simply cannot match—especially for agencies embracing remote work and rapid growth.
Instant Deployment
Add a new agent in minutes instead of days. Send them a login link, they open their browser, and they are ready to make calls. No IT tickets, no software installation, no VPN configuration, no waiting for hardware. This speed is critical during AEP when agencies need to scale rapidly.
Perfect for Remote Teams
Remote agents get the exact same platform, features, and compliance protections as in-office agents. Supervisors can monitor, coach, and manage remote teams with the same tools they use on-site. No VPN required, no special network configuration, no compromise on functionality or security.
Zero IT Overhead
No software to install means no software to maintain, update, troubleshoot, or support. Your IT team (or your one IT person, or you) is freed from managing dialer software across multiple machines—a recurring cost savings in both time and IT budget that compounds with every agent you add.
Browser Based Dialer for Insurance Teams
Browser-based dialing technology has become the standard for insurance agencies of all sizes, replacing traditional installed software across every operational scenario. The flexibility, speed, and simplicity of browser-based deployment deliver tangible advantages for every type of insurance sales team.
Remote and distributed teams are the most obvious beneficiaries of browser-based technology. Insurance agencies increasingly hire agents across multiple states or allow existing agents to work from home. A browser-based dialer means every remote agent has the same tools, the same compliance protections, and the same supervisor oversight as in-office staff—with no VPN to configure, no hardware to ship, and no IT support calls about installation issues.
Seasonal scaling for AEP and enrollment periods is dramatically easier with browser-based deployment. During Annual Enrollment Period, many Medicare agencies need to double or triple their agent count for six to eight weeks. With installed software, onboarding that many temporary agents requires significant IT effort. With AgentTech's browser-based platform, seasonal agents receive a login link and are making calls within minutes of their start time.
Multi-location agencies with offices in different cities or states benefit from having a single platform that works identically everywhere without local server infrastructure or per-location IT management. Supervisors in any location can monitor agents in any other location, and reporting aggregates across all sites automatically.
BYOD (bring your own device) environments work seamlessly with browser-based dialers because there is no software compatibility to worry about. Whether an agent uses a Windows desktop, a MacBook, or a Chromebook, AgentTech runs identically. This flexibility reduces hardware costs for agencies and eliminates device standardization requirements.
Browser Based Dialer vs Installed Dialer Software
Traditional installed dialer software requires downloading and installing a desktop application on each agent's computer. This approach was necessary before WebRTC technology matured, but it introduces ongoing operational burdens that browser-based platforms eliminate entirely. Installation takes time, software updates must be pushed to every machine, version inconsistencies cause bugs, VPN connections are required for remote workers, and IT support tickets multiply with every new agent and every new software version.
Modern WebRTC-based browser dialers have reached feature parity with installed software while offering significant advantages in deployment speed, maintenance cost, and flexibility. Call quality is comparable thanks to the Opus codec's adaptive bitrate technology. Security is actually stronger because WebRTC mandates encryption by default and no data is stored locally on agent devices. And the user experience is smoother because agents work within a familiar browser environment rather than learning a proprietary desktop application.
AgentTech's browser-based platform provides every feature that installed dialers offer—predictive dialing, power dialing, call recording, real-time monitoring, AI coaching, and compliance automation—without any of the deployment or maintenance overhead.
