1000 Universal Gateway

The APX ®1000 Universal Gateway is a flexible, efficient and extensible access platform
that simplifies your delivery of high-demand IP services. A cost-effective compact switch
supports services such as port wholesaling for dial-up IP with SS7-based Internet call
diversion (ICD) and SDTN for financial transaction networks. Uniform capacity ensures
consistent performance and density for all applications. And years of experience provide the
stability networks demand.

Applications

Supports IP-based access services such as:

• Dial IP access services

• Wireline and wireless

• Port wholesaling

Features

• 10,800 DS0s per 7-foot rack

• Uniform capacity for consistent application
performance and density, up to platform’s
maximum port capacity

• SS7-based ICD for dial-up IP port wholesaling

• Feature-rich True Access
(TAOS) — over 35 million ports installed
Worldwide

• Multiple IP protocol support including
IPDC, V.92 (with V.90), PIAFS (PHS), SDTN
V.110, WORM ARQ

Operating System

Benefits

• Enhanced customer satisfaction — maximize IP
applications performance and capacity

•

Flexibility — turn on revenue-generating IP

services whenever and wherever you want them

•

Scalability — deploy your choice of high-speed

ingress and egress modules; implement access
solutions with support for 96 to 720 DS0s per

chassis.

•

Reduced operating and ownership costs —

universal port technology and high port density in a

small footprint optimize CO space utilization

•

Carrier-class network reliability — redundant

components maximize uptime and serviceability;
stable, car rier-proven TAOS helps sustain high

availability

•

Easy to upgrade — processing modules

interchange among Universal Gateway platforms

•

Unmatched investment protection — a wide range of

IP protocols support emerging applications
