ISDN Carriers Conduct Field Trials with Patton’s G.SHDSL VoIP Gear
11.16.2006
Carriers and Service Providers throughout the ISDN marketplace are engaged in field trials with SmartNode™ VoIP IADs
featuring an on-board G.SHDSL
modem.
SmartNode™ VoIP... more than just talk
GAITHERSBURG, MD and BERN, SWITZERLAND: Patton — the leader in network-access, connectivity, and VoIP solutions —
together with Patton-Inalp Networks AG — creator of industry-leading SmartNode™ VoIP technology — announced today that
carriers and ISPs in Germany, Switzerland, France, Norway, and other ISDN markets are conducting tests and field trials with
SmartNode SN4650
BRI and SN4960G
PRI VoIP IADs that feature a built-in G.SHDSL.bis modem interface.
The on-board G.SHDSL interface eliminates the expense and logistical challenges of installing an out-board modem at each
customer site when rolling out VoIP services. Patton is the first (and only) VoIP-CPE manufacturer to combine a built-in
G.SHDSL modem for symmetrical high-speed Internet access with a dedicated ISDN breakout port for PSTN fallback and
number-portability.
“No one else does it,” said Ramon Felder, President and COO of Patton-Inalp, “so ISDN carriers are jumping all over it.
Competition is fierce in the VoIP service market, and ISDN users are especially demanding. Our technology makes digital
business-trunking services a viable and profitable business
model."
The SN4650 and SN4960G make it easy for carriers to deploy VoIP services quickly by combining
proven interoperability
with all major brands of softswitches
and seamless integration with existing ISDN protocols,
services, and network architectures. Thousands of SmartNode™ gateways have been successfully
deployed in numerous ISDN
carrier networks ,
including one of Europe's earliest first-line
VoIP services.
The symmetrical data-rate of G.SHDSL is especially attractive to ISPs that serve businesses. By
adding VoIP — which requires equal upstream and downstream bandwidth — to
their business-class service offerings, carrier-providers can expand their
customer base while increasing revenues from existing subscribers.
The SN4650 provides 3 to 5 BRI ports and supports 4 to 8 VoIP calls. The SN4960G
provides 1 to 4 PRI ports and supports 15 to 120 VoIP calls. Delivering
broadband access at symmetrical rates up to 5.7 Mbps, the low-cost,
high-performance trunking gateways support business-class VoIP, voice, video and
data services.
With each unit ordered before year-end, Patton’s
double-security
promotion offers a free VPN license and five-year warranty.
