Office 365 and Lync 2013 Hybrid - Lync Meetings

Hi,

Could someone please clarify the following.

While MS have removed support for Enterprise Voice, an Office 365 and Lync 2013 on-premise topology is still valid - correct?

Is it therefore possible to also deploy an on-premise gateway (to local PSTN provider) to support "Join meeting audio" via "Call me at", where the target phone is PSTN based (e.g home phone)?

Additionally, would this also provide "Dial-In" capability for the meeting?

For an traditional on-premise Lync 2013 implementation, this is an Enterprise CAL based feature (i.e. no Lync Plus cals required). If the above is possible, how would this be licensed between 365 and on-premise?

Hope that makes sense.

Kind regards,

You can do this for On-Premise users.

With respect to licensing its always a thin line for interpretation, you should as a Licensing specialist to be sure.

According to the Lync Licensing guide I would say Enterprise CAL
