IP telephony PCI image

GroomerII is offered as a cost-effective, signalling and media gateway for any telco or service provider function where there is a need for SS7-to-SIP voice network connectivity. It enables the rapid delivery of revenue generating IP-based services into SS7 and legacy CAS and PRI networks. Because GroomerII is an adaptable, integrated appliance, it can be readily used for many VoIP gateway functions. Scalable 1U and 6U rackmount configurations offer signalling and media gateway capability, transcoding, protocol conversion, call routing, and billing features for all supported protocols - whether CAS, H.323, ISDN PRI, SIP or SS7. GroomerII is a reliable, compliance tested gateway solution that can be used to add new telephony services, extend existing infrastructure, and reduce costs in support of a migration strategy to an all IP architecture. In short, GroomerII is a powerful and adaptable problem solver.
