also used by the enterprise for business-to-business video conferencing and branch
office connectivity. Available for small to large enterprise environments, all EdgeMarc
products provide a Voice over IP (VoIP) and video-aware NAT/Firewall, protocol
harmonization for interoperability of VoIP and video devices, active VoIP line testing,
call quality monitoring, survivability, Quality of Service (QoS) and more.
The EdgeMarc ESBCs can be deployed initially as low-cost WAN access routers and
then licensed through software for more advanced VoIP features and increased call
performance. The EdgeMarc is the ideal platform for service providers offering
Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), hosted VoIP and managed security services, and for
enterprises migrating to converged voice and data networks.
The EdgeMarc 4571 is an 8 port Integrated Access Device (IAD) that combines
multiple voice and data features into a single, easy to use ESBC. Designed for small
and medium office connectivity, the EdgeMarc 4571 features the following port
configuration:
