Many IP networks experience unpredictable traffic
characteristics resulting in jitter, lost packets
and excessive latency, all of which could put the
quality of enterprise phone calls at substantial and
unpredictable risk. The switch's unique transparent
auto-switch quality technology virtually eliminates any
voice quality concern. To ensure a high quality call,
this technology allows the switch to select dynamically
when to route calls through the IP network or the
traditional circuit switch network. If at any time
during a call the switch senses the potential for voice
quality degradation, interference or other impedance,
the call is routed transparently to the PSTN. When the
IP path is clear, the call is switched back to the IP
network. The patented technology assures that all calls
are routed to provide and maintain a high quality voice
connection. Callers are never aware of the switching of
their call and detect no changes in their phone
experience.
Flexibility
No one wants to connect a new piece of equipment to a
data network unless it is compatible with existing
equipment. Many VoIP solutions today have proprietary
architectures or protocols, thus requiring a
substantial, continuing commitment to a particular
vendor's solution.
This product is not dependent upon any particular
vendor's product, so neither is the enterprise! The
flexibility of this solution offers enterprises the
luxury to explore a VoIP solution, and the ability to
incorporate easily the transitional steps toward
implementing a complete application-based VoIP solution.
The switch is also highly scalable. It is available with
options to support 8, 16, 24 or 32 channels, stackable
to support up to 960 simultaneous calls per stack. The
switch gateway connects to a PBX and PSTN via T1, E1, or
PRI lines. For smaller and branch locations, it also
supports 4 or 8 port analog and fractional T1, E1 and
PRI.

Cost Effectiveness
Many executives are concerned not with the cost of VoIP
equipment, but rather with the cost of network upgrades
and additional trunk cards for the PBX. Many solutions
also create concerns about the cost of installing and
maintaining complicated new technology. The product
supports both voice and fax transmissions, allowing
enterprises to save on long distance toll charges,
particularly on faxes, which can always be sent over the
IP network. The switch gateway can route these calls
over the IP, better utilizing the WAN and avoiding the
PSTN toll charges. With its hop-off capabilities, the
Gateway can route calls over the IP to reduce costs, and
then transparently ‘hop off’ to the PSTN to reach
off-net locations. No other VoIP solution can match this
flexibility.

As Internet traffic
continues to grow at exponential rates worldwide,
Internet services providers (ISP's) everywhere are faced
with the challenge of keeping up with demand for network
bandwidth and developing creative solutions for
squeezing more use out of existing bandwidth.
Satellite communication has the unique ability to
deliver bandwidth exactly where and when it is needed,
irrespective of geography and local infrastructure. It
is therefore becoming the natural high speed transport
medium for a wide range of IP and multimedia
applications the world over, whether for consumer or
business applications - and at speeds of 2Mbit/s per
user for Internet access and at up to 40Mbit/s per
transponder for services such as data broadcasting.
