TOLLBRIDGE TECHNOLOGIES TB200 GATEWAY OFFERS VOICE-OVER-T1 AND DATA INTEGRATION
Consolidation of Voice and Data Networks Over T1 Lines Reduces Costs and Opens New Revenue Opportunities for CarriersSANTA CLARA, Calif., January 15, 2001 - TollBridge Technologies, the leading provider of carrier quality voice-over-broadband solutions for broadband carriers, today announced the availability of voice-over-T1 service through its TB200 Gateway. The TB200 Gateway is a carrier-class platform that aggregates traffic from multiple access technologies such as DSL, cable, wireless and now T1 to maximize equipment utilization and minimize the investment costs involved in delivering high-speed data and telephony services over broadband networks. "The ubiquity and dropping price of T1 access makes an attractive alternative for CLECs to extend market reach in areas not yet serviced by other broadband technologies such as DSL or cable," said Agnes Imregh, TollBridge vice president of marketing. "Integrated voice and data over T1 enables carriers to offer bundled services to subscribers regardless of location." Brno hôtelsTollBridge's packet-based VoT1 solutions allocate bandwidth between voice and data through the TB200 Gateway, which converts the IP packets of voice traffic into Time Division Multiplex (TDM) format for interfacing to Class 5 switches via a GR-303 or CAS interface. Packet-based VoT1 solutions make the most efficient use of available bandwidth by allocating bandwidth dynamically based on immediate need, rather than a fixed bandwidth allocation of voice and data, as is required for TDM-based solutions. ERROR MSGIn addition to the TB200 Gateway, the access devices are now available to deploy the VoT1 solution on the customer premise with the ADTRAN Total Access family of integrated access devices, and the Polycom NetEngine family of integrated access devices. Both ADTRAN and Polycom have developed these devices to ensure toll-quality voice for a range between 4 and 24 voice lines per T1 line, enabling voice and data traffic to be aggregated at the customer premise. hotels BirminghamThe TollBridge VoT1 solution consists of four major components: an Integrated Access Device (IAD), such as the ADTRAN or Polycom family of products, at the customer premises, an ATM switch or router, the TB200 gateway and a Class 5 switch, which are typically located at the Regional Switching Center (RSC) or point-of-presence (POP). A single TB200 Gateway installed at a RSC can support thousands of lines, providing the most cost-effective use of infrastructure for both the CLECs and the enterprises. The TB200 gateway is the most widely deployed solution for enhanced packetized voice-over-broadband solutions. Existing TB200 Gateways are can be upgraded to VoT1 capability via software provided by TollBridge. About TollBridge Technologies Founded in March 1998 and located in Santa Clara, Calif., TollBridge Technologies-selected as one of UPSIDE's Top 100 Private Companies (May 2000)-is the leading provider of high-quality voice-over-broadband solutions to the new generation of carriers. TollBridge's solutions change the economics of delivering voice services to small-business customers by allowing carriers that own Class 5 switches to use broadband access technologies, such as DSL, cable, T1, wireless and fiber to use alternative technologies in the local loop and deliver toll-quality voice and integrated data services.
