Cloud-Smart VoIP Appliance Clears Obstacles to ALL-IP3.14.2017 This eSBC from Patton is a new thing. It delivers converged voice-data security, network survivability, and service-quality analytics—plus a built-in VoIP Gateway with 2-8 telephony ports. SmartNode™ VoIP... more than just talk!
Patton’s eSBC is a new thing. This new VoIP CPE series is designed for small-offices that need to integrate POTS trunks or legacy FXS end points into ALL-IP and cloud-based communication systems, including on-premise and hosted unified communications (UC). “Dumb analog telephony adapters—known as ATAs—are going obsolete,” said Burton A. Patton, EVP. “Companies that want to connect existing voice and fax devices need a much smarter CPE.” Most eSBCs are designed to support SIP-to-SIP communication only—with little or no consideration given to legacy device connectivity, network survivability, security or QoS. TDM-to-IP telephony is typically handled by an ATA. That approach means your small office is going to need at least two devices—in some cases five!—to implement an All-IP migration. These products are much smarter. They deliver secure, converged voice and data with up to 8 integrated FXS ports. The devices also include a stateful firewall with secure TLS/SRTP encryption for signaling and voice—plus configurable mechanisms for preventing toll fraud and denial of service (DoS) attacks. With a full suite of failover and load-balancing mechanisms for TDM and LTE survivability, the units ensure business continuity. If that weren’t enough, an embedded PacketSmart probe provides such QoS/QoE performance metrics as Packet Loss, Jitter, MoS and more. Even better news: a standard SmartNode 4141 VoIP gateway can be transformed into a rich-featured multi-functional eSBC appliance by easy activation of license keys. A carrier-grade dual image feature—rarely found in low-port-count CPE—offers fallback/recovery capability for system-wide software upgrades. Patton offers the feature to service providers at no additional charge. Last month Patton announced the new water-proof IP67-compliant CopperLink 1101 PoE Extender kits with outdoor enclosures that can extend 10/100 Ethernet and up to 15 Watts of 802.3af (or legacy) PoE up to 3,300 feet (915 meters).
