ApplianX gateways
ApplianX gateways have been developed to provide robust and reliable deployment-ready gateways for the implementation of Internet-based communication strategies. ApplianX gateways are specifically designed for rapid deployment and easy integration into existing infrastructures.
For example:
- If you need to connect a SIP-based IP-PBX to a TDM service provider's E1 or T1 trunks - or simply need to bridge between SIP and TDM networks - the ApplianX IP Gateway offers a cost-effective, 'plug and play' solution. If you want to connect a new IP-based enterprise application, unified communications or contact centre platform to a DPNSS network or PBX, then it provides the perfect option
- If you have to interconnect an IP-PBX to an enterprise VPN, whilst retaining full compatibility and support for all supplementary services - including divert, transfer, route optimisation and MWI - the ApplianX DPNSS-to-Q.SIG Gateway is the only certified solution available
ApplianX products are manufactured in the UK and are available globally through a network of distribution and value added partners. Visit the ApplianX website for more information.
GroomerII
GroomerII has evolved to be a multi-facetted, signalling and media gateway appliance for any telco or service provider function where there is a need for hosted, central office, data centre or premise-based IP-to-TDM voice network interconnectivity. Its primary purpose is to facilitate the delivery of IP-based services from SIP or H.323 into SS7 networks.
For instance:
- GroomerII can be used by a wireless or cellular provider to interconnect its mobile network infrastructure to a next generation, IP-based (SIP or H.323) platform providing customer services to its mobile subscribers
- GroomerII can be deployed in critical next generation emergency services (NG9-1-1) environments, where the public safety answering point (PSAP) is implemented on a SIP-based platform and interconnection to the PSTN via SS7 is needed
In short, GroomerII is a powerful and adaptable problem solver that offers a myriad of call routing features that can be deployed in practically any network - whether CAS, H.323, ISDN PRI, SIP or SS7. Read more about GroomerII.
