The
Emerging Technology of Choice:
TDM over IP (TDMoIP)
The proliferation of high performance
IP backbones in the carrier and
utility service provider environment,
as well as among enterprises and
government users, raises a critical
technological and business issue:
How to tie the existing circuit
switched world into the new IP
economy.
Telephony systems are moving from
circuit switched to packet switched
technology, and in particular
to IP. But most customers - currently
equipped with a large installed
base of reliable legacy PBXs -
do not have the luxury of simply
installing all new systems to
move into converged networks.
They cannot afford to run the
risk of their business-critical
services suffering in the migration.
The popular solution today is
VoIP. But VoIP is expensive and
based on immature and non-standard
technology, lacking important
feature sets and functionality.
Field trials have shown current
VoIP voice quality to be less
than acceptable for many applications.
Furthermore, VoIP does not address
wider issues of transporting all
legacy voice and data protocols
transparently over the IP network.
RAD has developed a technology
and product solution based on
TDMoIP that enables service providers
and corporate users to enjoy all
the benefits of next generation
voice and data convergence without
the disadvantages inherent in
existing VoIP strategies.
Introducing
IPmux
The IPmux™ family of multiplexers
transparently converts T1 or E1
circuits to IP packets for transmission
over high performance IP-based
backbones. It maintains all the
features and functionality of
today's class 4 and 5 switches,
and SS7, PRI and other signaling
protocols end-to-end across the
network. These products take advantage
of the IP network to deliver voice,
fax, modem and data services without
compromising traditional PSTN
quality.
Paradyne's
ReachDSL solutions already
provide the benefits to
hundreds of ILECs and PTTs.
ReachDSL 2.2 with enhanced
2.2 Mbps performance, is
an innovative symmetric
/ asymmetric DSL solution
that allows service providers
to extend broadband coverage
to their unserved subscribers
by overcoming typical DSL
deployment obstacles such
as long or challenged loops,
interference, and in-premises
wiring problems. The result
provides service to 100
percent of the subscriber
base within 18,000 feet
(5.5 km) without loop plant
modifications of any type,
reducing operational expenses
and deployment times. Paradyne's
ReachDSL enable service
providers to create more
revenue and better ROI.
