VoIP Gateways

German-based TELES (News - Alert) has increased and reorganized its portfolio of access gateways. The company explains it “restructured” the portfolio to allow for easier selection of solutions by distributors, system integrators and dealers.

"All of the most important information about the gateways is now recognizable at a glance,” Thomas Haydn, product marketing director said in a TELES statement released to the public. "Based on the product name, the customer can immediately tell whether it is a mobile radio or VoIP gateway and how many interfaces are available."

The company explains in the statement it has three product lines for the carrier and enterprise markets:

·    The VoIPBox product line features VoIP-ISDN gateways with 4 to 180 VoIP channels and various BRI and PRI interfaces.

·    The Ecotel product line features the TELES mobile radio gateways with 1 to 4 mobile radio channels, including 3G gateways and the GSM gateways, which were acquired from Vierling in 2010.

·    The iGate product line features modular mobile radio gateway systems with 4 to 32 GSM or UMTS channels in a 19-inch chassis.

"TELES offers a complete portfolio of access gateways supporting all of the conceivable interfaces including VoIP, BRI, PRI, analog, GSM, UMTS, GPRS and HSDPA", Frank Paetsch, CTO of TELES explains in a statement. "After acquiring Vierling's GSM gateway product line and developing some new 3G gateways of our own, we thought it was time to restructure the portfolio. The product names now clearly reflect the three different product lines. This should help customers to find what they need more intuitively and enable fast selection of the appropriate products."

Based in Berlin, TELES has two divisions: Next Generation Networks (News - Alert) and Access Gateways. TELES have offices in Austria and India, and a network of partners located globally.

TELES provide Class 4 and/or Class 5 Softswitch solutions, VoIP gateways and mobile gateways to telephony service providers.

In other company news, TELES recently released version 3.6 of its Class 5 software, that allow full end-to-end SIP trunking, according to a report from TMCnet.
