New FXO Analog Telephony Interfaces for Patton SmartNodes Enable True VoIP-to-PSTN Access While Eliminating Telephone Charges
September 30, 2004 (Press Release) --
GAITHERSBURG, Maryland - Patton Electronics—an industry leader in access, connectivity and VoIP—announces new SmartNode(TM) VoIP Gateways and Routers featuring FXO and FXS/FXO telephony interface combinations that enable direct connection to a PBX or PSTN.
"Our customers are asking for solutions that integrate seamlessly with their existing communications infrastructure to deliver end-to-end voice services over an IP network," said Scott Whittle, Director of Product Management at Patton." With SmartNode and FXO, network administrators can preserve their existing legacy telephone equipment and services while leveraging VoIP to lower operating costs and achieve voice-data convergence.”
Available in FXO, FXS, and FXS/FXO interface port combinations on a wide range of models within the SmartNode 4520 Series, the new models expand the range of SmartNode Telephony-over-IP applications:
* Enterprises can experience the benefits of VoIP without costly upgrades to their legacy PBX. By connecting the SmartNode's FXO ports to the PBX and local PSTN, an enterprise route calls through the IP-enabled PBX via the corporate LAN, Internet, and local PSTN.
* Corporate users can transparently extend analog telephone PBX lines from a central site to any remote location on the company LAN. By routing voice and data over a single network, companies can consolidate their communications infrastructure to reduce equipment, cabling, and network administration costs.
* Businesses can eliminate long-distance toll charges for voice and fax calls by routing calls over their private IP network or the Internet instead of using traditional phone service. Meanwhile, employees working at remote locations can take advantage of all the PBX features (voice-mail, 3-digit dialing, conference calls, etc.) provided at the corporate headquarters.
All SmartNode ToIP Gateway Routers support SIP and H.323 VoIP signaling, T.38 Fax-over-IP, a full set of Codecs, IP routing with NAT, Firewall, PPP, PPPoE, VLAN, Frame-Relay, DHCP and DynDNS, plus a full suite of upstream and downstream QoS (Quality of Service) features to prioritize traffic for enhanced voice quality. Available software options offer IPSec DES/3DES/AES) VPN and Q.SIG support.
