Universal, Cost-Effective PBX/IP-PBX Solutions
THE SITUATION
Enterprise customers in Latin America are connecting to public
telephone networks via expensive, hard to manage analog lines. They
are looking to reduce costs and simplify network management by
migrating their networks to digital facilities. Phone companies are
under pressure to offload voice traffic from their end-office
switches by migrating it from analog to digital trunks that are
easier to deploy and manage.
THE CHALLENGE
- Many telephone companies and service providers use PSTNs
that rely on CAS signaling, which is incompatible with
ISDN-based PBX and IP-PBX applications.
- PBX and IP-PBX users want to connect their packet-based ISDN
applications to R2 networks.
- PBX and IP-PBX vendors want to make new services, such as
voice messaging and video conferencing, available to their
customers.
- Constraints on capital spending are driving phone companies
to maximize their voice switching assets by continuing to use
their existing R2 digital facilities.
- Network management tools for both the IP and PSTN networks
need to be integrated on one platform to simplify network
operations.
THE SOLUTION
Now, PBX and IP-PBX resellers can take advantage of the synergy
between PBX products and SignalPath™enterprise signaling adapters.

at the PBX sites, while the SignalPath™ 201-SA (SP201-SA) enables
