One Box Does It All: Delivers VoIP Services on BRI and FXO lines with G.SHDSL Access

April 3, 2012 - PRLog -- Offering carrier-providers a one-box unified communications enabler for Europe's SMEs, Patton's 8-to-24-call SmartNode 4670 VoIP IAD integrates G.SHDSL broadband access with up to 8 BRIs and 8 FXS/FXO interfaces .

SmartNode™ VoIP. . . more than just talk!

GAITHERSBURG, MD and BERN, SWITZERLAND: Patton Electronics Co. (www.patton.com)—together with Patton-Inalp Networks AG—is now taking orders for the 8-to-24-call SmartNode™ 4670 BRI/FXS/FXO VoIP Integrated Access Device (IAD) with built-in G.SHDSL broadband access.

The newest member of the SmartNode VoIP family lowers provisioning and maintenance costs for carrier-providers by doing the work of three customer-premise-equipment (CPE) devices. Expected to start shipping this May, the SN4670 combines ISDN VoIP gateway, analog VoIP gateway, and G.SHDSL router functions in a single device.

Provisioning the SN4670 on customer sites, broadband providers can offer business-quality IP-based voice, fax and data services for up to 8 BRIs and up to 8 FXS/FXO lines —bundled with high-speed Internet access over 4-wire G.SHDSL. Watch for more WAN options, including Fiber, EFM and ADSL, planned for later this year or available on request.

For Small-to-Medium Enterprises (SMEs), the small-footprint SmartNode 4670 facilitates unified communications by IP-enabling digital ISDN-PBX systems and analog phone, fax, answering-machine, and audio-intercom systems. Delivering G.SHDSL broadband connectivity at speeds up to 11.4 Mbps, the SN4670 supports 8-to-16 voice or fax calls over the Internet or private IP network.

Along with the integrated G.SHDSL modem and 4-port IP-Ethernet switch, the SN4670 offers flexible combinations of 2-to-8 ISDN BRIs and optional 4-to-8 FXS/FXO interfaces.

Now through 30 April, Patton offers discounts up to 20 percent on SN4670 pre-orders from qualified channel partners. Discount level depends on order quantity and timing. For details, contact sales@patton.com.

SmartNode offerings now address 98% of all PSTN interface combinations and port-count requirements for SMEs throughout Europe. Patton has shipped over 100,000 SmartNode devices to date. With SmartNode equipment installed in 105 countries so far, Patton VoIP deployments span the globe.

Last month Patton unveiled the SmartNode™ 10200 carrier-grade TDM + VoIP media gateway series, supporting up to 2048 voice or fax calls. SmartNode recently scored its seventh INTERNET TELEPHONY® product-of-the-year award.
