# LOCAL Provider

Use LOCAL technology when a PBX-local route should be selected by routing profiles like a provider. LOCAL providers do not create SIP, PJSIP, or IAX realtime rows.

## Shared Fields Still Used

LOCAL providers still use common identity, status, outbound digit manipulation, caller ID controls, max outbound channels, penalty, inbound normalization, DID modification, and custom variable fields. Additional SIP/SMS headers and realtime account settings are hidden.
