Patton Ships VoIP IADs With Integrated G.SHDSL Modem for ISDN Markets
November 14th, 2006 - Posted in VoIPPatton, the leader in network access, connectivity, and VoIP solutions– together with Patton-Inalp Networks AG — creator of SmartNode(tm)industry-leading VoIP technology — is shipping VoIP CPEs for ISDN marketsthat feature a built-in G.SHDSL.bis modem interface: the SmartNode(tm) 4650BRI Multiport VoIP IAD and the SmartNode(tm) 4960G PRI Multiport VoIP IAD.
The new SmartNode(tm) models reduce deployment costs and increase profitsfor carrier-providers that offer business-trunking and corporate-VoIPservices in ISDN markets. The low-cost, high-performance trunking gatewaysdeliver business-class VoIP, voice, and data over broadband access at up to5.7 Mbps.
The SN4650 provides 3 to 5 BRI ports and supports 4 to 8 VoIP calls. TheSN4960G provides 1 to 4 PRI ports and supports 15 to 120 VoIP calls.Additionally, Patton is offering a free VPN license and five-year warrantywith each unit ordered before year’s end.
“Profitability is not a given with voice-over-IP,” said Burton A. Patton,EVP. “It’s a two-way street. Enabling profitable service models for ourcarrier customers has taken hard work and innovation on our part. Now comesthe payoff — Patton’s advanced technology is making VoIP profitable… firstfor our customers, then for us.”
Last month Patton announced the first PRI VoIP IAD with dualgigabit-Ethernet ports, the SN4960, at prices that halved business-class VoIPCPE costs. Now, with the SN4960G and SN4650, Patton is further expanding VoIPprofit potential by eliminating the expense of installing customer-sitenetwork-access modems. Because thousands of units are required for a newservice, any CPE cost reduction is multiplied on the provider’s bottom line.
“ISDN users are notoriously demanding when it comes to service quality,”said Marco Liechti, product manager, “Our track record in the ISDN marketspeaks for itself.”
Patton has numerous successful ISDN deployments under their belt,including a first-line VoIP service. The SN4650 and SN4960 allow businessesto immediately realize the cost savings of VoIP with advanced hardware andsoftware that seamlessly integrates with existing ISDN systems. Both IADsinclude a PSTN breakout port for smooth, step-by-step migration tovoice-over-IP with sustained number portability and enhanced reliability.
