SmartNode™
Solves Fax & PSTN Issues for SIP
Enterprise Phone Systems
by
Marco Liechti |
The future telephony system is purely SIP based, and it runs virtualized on a computer. But does the good old fax machine still work
with that system, and how does it connect to an ISDN public network? Questions like these are reasons for a still spread skepticism
regarding SIP telephony. With the reliable and proven SmartNode™ external gateways, telephony system vendors have an
answer that not just outperforms internal PCI cards.
We have chosen three vendors and will tell you how the SmartNodes
complement their systems: 3CX, Aastra and LocaPhone (Asterisk
based). We will present you one at a time in the next VoIP newsletters. In this
issue, you will learn how to setup the SmartNode and 3CX solution...

Simplify
Network Management with SmartNode VPN's
by John Wu
|
Internet
is cheap, but the traffic on it is wide
open. The SmartNode™ IPSec creates private
VPN tunnels ensuring secure VoIP, voice and
data traffic while protecting all
inter-office voice and data communications
over the Internet. The tunnels allow users,
located in separate offices, to communicate
as if they were connected by a single
private network. Now all data, voice and
VoIP will be kept from prying eyes and ears
while ensuring that all communications came
from the trusted source.
Voice over IP is good but the management of
all the traffic associated VoIP together
with all other data applications in a
enterprise router can be a very challenge
job. The VPN features in SmartWare can be
handy to solve this problem...

Patton
& Cablecom deliver Euro-ISDN Voice &
Data service
by Glendon Flowers |

Sascha
Jooss
|
Switzerland's
largest triple-play and cable-network
provider needed a VoIP solution that deliver
ISDN BRIs to the customer premise over
existing copper fiber access lines. For
Cablecom (as with any provider) CPE cost is
the primaryexpense driver in rolling out a
service. So price/performance was a key
factor in the business case. Yet very few manufacturers
offer a working, stable VoIP CPE solution
with ISDN BRI interfaces and SIP signaling
support.
Happy ending. According to Cablecom
Product Manager, Sascha Joos,
"SmartNode™ products work so reliably
that management never hears from them. That
is a good sign."
