Quintum Technologies has added survivability to its branch
office telephony switched so that users can keep working if connectivity to the
head office voice server is lost.
The new enhancements to Quintum's Tenor VoIP MultiPath
Switch are an alternative to the original Tenor switches which were developed
to provide an easy to deploy VoIP solution for the edge of an enterprise
network.
The new Survivable Tenor S brings addresses the needs of enterprises
for business continuity by providing SIP proxy services and intelligent call
routing if the IP link to the core network goes down.
Without the server connectivity, IP phones would not be able
to operate. In event of an IP failure, the new Survivable Tenor S keeps the
local IP telephony phone network operational, regardless of what happens on the
wide area network.
Additional PSTN failover capabilities add another layer of
availability to these IP-PBX edge devices.
The new Survivable Tenor S supplements the original Tenor,
which supports H.323 and SIP-based support of traditional PBX trunking, legacy
equipment VoIP integration and VoIP-PSTN connectivity.
Quintum and Avaya
have certified the new Tenor solution as interoperable with Avaya's Communication
Manager 3.1 software. The devices may also be deployed with 3Com's SIP-based VCX
environment, offering a complementary solution that provides flexibility for
branch office applications.
Both versions of Tenor are built on Quintum's unique MultiPath architecture and
offer intelligent MultiPath call routing between circuit switching and VoIP,
including network hop-on and hop-off, and PSTN connectivity to 911 emergency
services.
Both offer easy, transparent installation in existing
network infrastructure and assured voice QoS to monitor IP traffic and switch
calls to an alternate network in the event that jitter, packet loss or latency
will jeopardise call quality.
In addition, all Tenors offer easy remote management, even if they are deployed
behind NAT firewalls. With the external Remote Management Session Server,
announced earlier this year, remote Tenors can be easily diagnosed, upgraded
and configured, even behind the enterprise NAT/firewall without someone being
on site.
The new Survivable Tenor S is currently available in both the Tenor AF and AX
series product lines. Starting list price is US$365.00.
