Gateway Description

The MediaPack series analog VoIP gateways are cost-effective, cutting edge technology
products. These stand-alone analog VoIP gateways provide superior voice technology for
connecting legacy telephones, fax machines and PBX systems with IP-based telephony
networks, as well as for integration with new IP-based PBX architecture. These products are
designed and tested to be fully interopeable with leading softswitches and SIP servers.
The MediaPack gateways incorporate up to 24 analog ports for connection, either directly to an
enterprise PBX (FXO), to phones, or to fax (FXS), supporting up to 24 simultaneous VoIP calls.
Additionally, the MediaPack units are equipped with a 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet port for
connection to the network.
The MediaPack gateways are best suited for small to medium size enterprises, branch offices or
for residential media gateway solutions.
The MediaPack gateways enable users to make free local or international telephone / fax calls
between the distributed company offices, using their existing telephones / fax. These calls are
routed over the existing network ensuring that voice traffic uses minimum bandwidth.
The MediaPack gateways are very compact devices that can be installed as a desk-top unit, on
the wall or in a 19-inch rack.
The MediaPack gateways support SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) protocol, enabling the
deployment of 'voice over IP' solutions in environments where each enterprise or residential
location is provided with a simple media gateway.
This provides the enterprise with a telephone connection (e.g., RJ-11), and the capability to
transmit the voice and telephony signals over a packet network.
