AudioCodes Mediant 1000 Dual T1/E1 Span SIP Gateway

Dual T1/E1 Span SIP Gateway. The Mediant 1000 is AudioCodes' cost-effective, converged wireline VoIP media gateway.

The MediantTM 1000 is AudioCodes' cost-effective, converged wireline VoIP media gateway. Intelligently packaged in a stackable 1U chassis, it is designed to interface between TDM & IP networks in enterprises or small-scale carrier locations. Incorporating AudioCodes' innovative Voice over Packet technology, Mediant 1000 enable rapid time-to-market and reliable cost-effective deployment of next-generation networks.

Mediant 1000 is based on VoIPerfect™, AudioCodes underground, top track, Media Gateway Core technology for all its products. Mediant 1000 provides direct connection technology for connecting telephone and PBX systems to IP networks, as well as smooth IP-PBX connection to PSTN. Due to its pure media operation, the Mediant 1000 can be a specific application and serve in an IP-PBX platform. The Mediant 1000 is fully interoperable with multiple vendors
gateways, softswitches, gatekeepers, proxy servers, IP phones, Session Border Controllers and firewalls.

Scale Up As Your Business Grows
The Mediant 1000 Modular Gateway meets the robustness of small-area businesses and service providers' stability requirements. The compact Mediant 1000 Modular Gateway is extremely flexible and supports 1, 2, or 4 E1/T1/J1 spans, 4 to 20 BRI ports, or 1 to 24 analog ports in various FXO/FXS configurations. The Mediant 1000 also has auxiliary combined digital/analog ports with media processing capabilities such as conferencing, play/record configurations.

The Mediant 1000 can support a variety of telephone devices. The digital module can be configured as regular E1/T1/J1 interfaces, with up to 1 or 2 paired spans acting as life-line interfaces for switching to PSTN in case of failure or network problems. A similar module available as regular FXS or FXO interfaces, where 1 FXS line can be used as life-line
interface for switching to the PSTN.

Interface Modules:

• Digital (E1/T1/J1) – connecting the PSTN or PBX to the IP-network
• Analogue FXS – connecting analog phones and fax machines to the IP-network
• FXO Analogue – connection of similar lines from the central office (CO) or PBX to IP network
• BRI – connecting to PBXs or the PSTN
  

SAS - Stand Alone Survivability for Service Continuity
Customers who connect to a centralized IP service center, as well as the enterprise management ceremony that is used in a centralized IP PBX server, may represent a redundant function. Stand Alone Survivability (SAS), supported in Mediant 1000 based on SIP B2BUA ( Back to Back User Agent) functionality, and provide backup of SIP clients such as SIP IP and Soft Phones in case of connectivity failure with the centralized SIP server.

Seamless Interface with Legacy Enterprise Networks
The Mediant 1000 has advanced hardware and software capabilities to help you set up and maintain voice quality. When the installed quality calls fall beneath the pre-configured value, the destination is disconnected, the Mediant 1000 can ensure voice connectivity by falling back to the PSTN. In case of network problems, phones can be exposed to PSTN without the need for routing modifications in PBX. Most reliability is realized with two Ethernet ports and optional 2nd AC potential.

3rd Party Application Platform
Mediant 1000 extends flexibility in the Media Gateway family with additional deployment options. Open platform on Mediant 1000 offers partners option to host their applications (eg, IP-PBX, call center, conferencing and messaging applications) using the OSN (Open Solution Network) Server platform, including a powerful processor and hard disks to provide a complete solution within Mediant 1000 chassis along with rich SIP gateway features.

Features:

• Employs AudioCodes VoIPerfect™ technology for outstanding voice quality
• Scalable “pay-as-you-grow” modular architecture
• Too different from digital (E1/T1/J1), analog (FXS/FXO), and BRI interfaces
• Cost-effective for low density gateways
• Life-line fallback to PSTN in case of power failure or network degradation
• PSTN fallback for assured connectivity
• Internal OSN Server for hosting 3rd party application
• Ideal Match as a Platform for IP-PBX
• Media processing and conferencing option
• Stand Alone Survivability (SAS) for service continuity
