| Patton Launches PRI VoIP Gateway Patton Electronics is taking orders for their new gateway, the SmartNode SN4960 T1/E1/PRI VoIP IAD. Designed for a space-conserving footprint and loaded with business-class features, the SN4960 is a carrier-grade solution. Patton is pushing pricing benchmarks in the business-class VoIP CPE market past the tipping point, so carriers can reduce the overall cost-per- subscriber, earning them larger market shares and profits. Due for general availability in October, the SN4960 delivers 30 to 120 concurrent VoIP calls with QoS, traffic shaping, Voice-over-VPN, and voice encryption. The platform provides up to four T1/E1/PRI ports plus two gigabit- Ethernet ports. SmartNode products have a strong six-year track record of deployments with satisfied carriers, thanks largely to SmartWare's highly adaptable architecture. To deliver business-class and premium services, carriers need robust CPE devices that support advanced functionality required for service delivery and carrier network integrations. The SN4960 answers those needs, supports all industry-standard CODECs, and offers proven interoperability with all major brands of softswitches. Patton SmartNodes also boast secure Voice-over-VPN with IPSec-encrypted voice-and-data and DownStreamQoS for uninterrupted toll-quality voice. Patton has a reputation for platform- longevity, continuous product enhancement, free software upgrades, and free support. The SN4960 is the first major-brand PRI gateway to include dual Gig- Ethernet ports. The device measures only 12Lx7Wx1.75H inches (30.5Lx18Wx4.5H cm). The SN4960 hardware platform includes expanded processing power for accelerated encryption. The SmartWare development roadmap includes support for CODEC-based encryption protocols SRTP and TLS. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
