VoIP Gateways

Accelerated Concepts, Inc., a global provider of VPN and wireless hardware and management software, recently expanded its line of cellular data products by introducing Dial-to-IP Converter, the Model 5300-DC.

Officials said that the 5300-DC is a compact dial termination point that works with a different legacy dial devices. It can be centrally managed with the company’s cloud-based management portal, Accelerated View.

It features a variety of configuration settings that can be maintained and distributed from a central management location. With this help Enterprise can rapidly distribute and manage a large number of remote locations in a short amount of time.

Accelerated Concepts’ Dial-to-IP Converter unit was developed for enterprises, small businesses, and consumers, having a large investment in dial devices and wanting to benefit from the speed and availability of cellular or broadband networks.

There are many appliances today that are installed around the world, including medical devices, postage meters, Financial ATMs, security systems and others that rely heavily on a standard analog phone dial connection. However, the continual loss of reliable copper-based connections and the overall movement to VoIP-based phone services, make modems a lot more difficult to manage and operate.

A solution to this is provided by the newly announced 5300-DC, which emulates the public switched telephone network and handles the dial connection onsite and transmits the data securely over cellular or broadband networks via secure IP protocols.

The 5300-DC also supports an embedded mini PCI (News - Alert) Express module/modem for cellular operation and allows the unit to support a variety of cellular carriers around the world.

"In today’s environment, owners of legacy analog devices have few cost effective options other than continuing to support outdated modem banks or paying a service provider to manage the modems. The 5300-DC gives them an option of keeping their equipment and taking advantage of the newest technologies available," said Tom Butts, Accelerated Concepts Founder and Chief Technology Officer, in a press statement.
