If you enjoy wasting time, money and space with multi-box configurations, then this isn’t going to interest you much, so feel free to go catch up with your Google+ circles. But for those of you looking for a better way, you might want to consider REDCOM’s (News - Alert) HDX softswitch with TRANSip, which is engineered to increase transmission facility productivity with a smaller footprint.
Company officials say this is possible because its flexible bandwidth allocation helps manage low-revenue subscribers with appropriate bandwidth, “while retaining higher end subscribers with increased bandwidth and premium services (from POTS to ISDN to VoIP).”
Because as we all know, even though we don’t put this on a poster in our reception area, that not all customers are created equal.
REDCOM officials are presenting HDX softswitch as a way to allow users to meet subscriber needs and counter low-cost competition. Technologically, one way they achieve this is by using a number of specialized interfaces to make connections across a variety of media and protocols, delivered in a single platform available in two sizes. There’s the High Density Exchange (HDX) designed for larger applications, and the SLICE 2100 supporting services in a compact, 1U chassis.
What this means is that the REDCOM’s SLICE 2100 and HDX offer a way to get an interoperable tool to help control costs and deliver Next Generation Network technology.
Last month TMC (News - Alert) reported that TRANSip is what company officials describe as an “integrated VoIP product that incorporates the benefits of TDM and IP technologies.”
It’s available in the REDCOM High Density Exchange (HDX) and SLICE 2100 platforms, and can provide a SIP Call Controller, Media Gateway (News - Alert), Media Gateway Controller, and what company officials say is “a full range of related IP telephony capabilities and features.”
The product offers a relatively simple integrated VoIP product that is easy to configure and install. It supports traditional TDM transport and signaling interfaces and features, and using REDCOM's TRANSip-enabled HDX or SLICE 2100, you can support, within a single system, IP telephony to IP telephony connections, IP telephony to TDM connections, TDM to IP telephony connections and TDM to TDM connections.
