A deployment-ready device for bridging between PSTN and IP networks
6th May 2008, Milton Keynes - Aculab, a leading provider of enabling technology for the global communications market, today announced that the ApplianX IP Gateway can now support up to 8 E1/T1 trunks.
By design, the ApplianX IP Gateway aims to help enterprises reduce operational costs, extend the life of existing TDM based equipment and take advantage of new IP-based services and endpoints by being a resilient, single purpose, ‘plug & play’ network appliance.
The ability to support 1, 2, 4 or 8 E1/T1 trunks makes the ApplianX IP Gateway a good fit for a range of deployment scenarios in both enterprise and service provider networks. The ApplianX IP Gateway is easily configured and administered via a web HTML interface. The completion of a five step wizard is all that is required to have the ApplianX IP Gateway ready to accept calls. Finally, resilience and robustness is assured through the replication of components that are deemed critical – dual Ethernet interfaces, dual hot swap power supplies and hot swap fans.
Haakon Smeby from Dolphin Software commented “The extension of the ApplianX IP Gateway is a welcomed addition to the ApplianX range. The higher density format will help extend the reach of our HotVoice IVR solution into the service provider sector, not just because it brings greater cost efficiencies but because it is such a resilient platform.”
The ApplianX IP Gateway supports a wide variety of E1 and T1 protocols and approvals so that it can be deployed worldwide and connected to globally dispersed remote offices and service networks. In addition, the ApplianX IP Gateway provides comprehensive support for many PBX inter-working protocols, such as Q.SIG and DPNSS, allowing investment in legacy equipment such as PBXs to be protected – they can remain in service while enterprises take advantage of new IP-based services and endpoints.
Finally, a broad range of voice codecs are supported including G.711, G.723.1, G.726, G.729A&B and GSM-FR, guaranteeing connection to a diverse mix of endpoint devices.
