Tenor AX VoIP MultiPath Switch
The Tenor VoIP MultiPath Switch
Offers a Robust VoIP Switching Solution
For a Variety of Applications
Quintum's Tenor switching/gateway solutions are deployed
worldwide to provide highly reliable, easy-to-implement VoIP
connectivity in a full range of enterprise and service provider
environments. These highly adaptable solutions work with
traditional PBXs, legacy analog equipment, IP PBXs and IP
phones, IVR and ACD systems, RADIUS servers, and other
critical components of end-to-end H.323- and SIP-based
communications environments. They are thus ideal for a wide
variety of applications including interoffice trunking, integration
of IP PBXs with legacy infrastructure, service provider VoIP
trunking, call centers, calling card services, call shops and VoIP
termination.
• 8, 16, 24 or 48 Analog line and trunk interfaces
• Up to 48 simultaneous VoIP calls
• Available in MultiPath or Gateway configurations
• Auto-Provisionable
• Survivable
• Unified Communications Proxy (UCP)
• Supported by Remote Management Tools*
• Perfect for small to medium sized businesses, SOHOs
and branch offices
Tenor S (Survivable MultiPath Switch)
Offers a Survivable Branch Office VoIP
Access Solution for IP PBXs and IP Centrex
Quintum's Tenor S line is a complete SIP-based VoIP solution
for the branch office or for service provider customer premise
equipment, providing full survivability in the event that access
to the central and/or hosted IP PBX is lost. Because it delivers
a complete solution in a single device - and because it offers
such easy, scalable implementation and management - the
Tenor S line significantly reduces the total lifecycle cost of VoIP
deployment, while optimizing service reliability. Tenor S also
offers PSTN connectivity and legacy equipment integration for
both analog and modem based devices.
The Quintum® Tenor® AX Series gives small to medium sized businesses, SOHOs and branch offices with analog voice
infrastructures an easy, cost-effective way to capitalize on the power of Voice over IP (VoIP). Tenor offers a complete
survivable branch office solution providing support for integrating analog endpoints and the PSTN, while offering backup call processing support for all SIP and analog calls.
Both versions of Tenor include the features that made Quintum the VoIP market value leader
• MultiPath architecture for easy integration with existing voice and data infrastructure, meaning little or no re-programming
of the PBX, or upgrades are required and no need for special dialing plans.
• Transparent MultiPath Call Routing to intelligently route calls between the PBX, the PSTN, and the IP network to achieve
the best combination of cost and quality. The Tenor can also route calls over IP to reduce costs, and then transparently
"hop off" to the PSTN, to reach off-net locations.
• Auto Provisioning interface allows the Tenor solution to be deployed worldwide, and configured automatically by acquiring
the configuration information from a central server, upon installation. The same auto-provisioning capability allows the Tenor
to be configured from a VoIP application, thus supporting a single user interface between the VoIP application and the Tenor
configuration.
• Unified Communications Proxy (UCP) provides 'Any to Any' connectivity: SIP - SIP, TDM - TDM and SIP - TDM, for easy
integration with any network.
• Universal Dial Plan that provides a programmable dial plan so Tenor can be integrated into any network environment.
• PacketSaver™ Technology multiplexing to reduce bandwidth consumption by up to 57% by combining voice packets from
multiple calls into a single packet.
• NATAccess™ to allow Tenor to operate behind NAT firewalls to translate internal IP addresses into public addresses when a
VoIP call is established with an outside party.
• Remote Management for anywhere, anytime remote management even behind NAT firewalls with Quintum's Remote
Management Session Server.
