| ADTRAN Announces NetVanta 7100 ADTRAN has unveiled the first in a series of converged Voice over IP solutions, the NetVanta 7100. This unique "office-in-a-box" takes convergence to a new level by combining all of the networking functionality needed for voice, data, and Internet communications in a single easy-to-use platform. The NetVanta 7100 also sets a new price point for IP PBX systems that support 50 users at costs of up to 40% less than traditional multi-product VoIP solutions. The NetVanta 7100 is a SIP-based PBX designed for business locations with up to 50 stations and includes voicemail, auto attendant, a 24-port Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch, full-featured IP Router, IPSec Virtual Private Network (VPN), stateful inspection firewall, and Quality of Service (QoS) to prioritize voice traffic. The NetVanta 7100 also includes an intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) that allows users to easily make changes and add new phones. A personal Web-based phone manager is also included that enables users to change phone configurations easily. ADTRAN's optional n-Command network productivity software enables authorized partners to quickly and easily perform remote system backups and firmware updates for end users. The NetVanta 7100's wealth of functionality comes from the robust, field-proven ADTRAN Operating System (AOS). The AOS is the foundation for all NetVanta product lines including switch-routers, managed Ethernet switches, IP access routers, and VPN/firewall appliances. Customers will appreciate the familiar Web-based GUI and Command Line Interface (CLI) that are common to all NetVanta products. There are three regularly scheduled releases of AOS each year. The NetVanta 7100 addresses a number of key applications for single-site small and medium businesses including those that are relocating, have outgrown current system capacity, or are upgrading from leased or aging phone equipment. It is also ideally suited for enterprises with branch locations. In these situations, an integrated network can be created by placing a NetVanta 7100 at each location. This allows all locations to enjoy the same benefits, such as three or four-digit dialing between offices. This product also addresses the needs of telecommuters, small business owners, or any employee wanting the ability to work from home. A small VPN appliance, like the NetVanta 2054, at the home office can be connected via the Internet to the NetVanta 7100 at the host site for transparent voice and data access to the main network. This enables these workers to be more productive by functioning as if they were in their main business office. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
