If you’re responsible for the telecommunications within a small-to-medium sized business (SMB), you’re probably aware of just how uncertain the state of the telecom industry is today. Which architecture should you standardize on? Copper? Fiber? Wireless? VoIP? And if you cannot standardize on one alone, making these inter-operate can be an even larger struggle. How, for example, can you be sure your copper-wire communications will coexist peacefully with a VoIP service?
The good news is, ADTRAN has a solution for SMBs facing these sorts of questions. The ADTRAN Total Access series of SIP gateways are designed with one primary purpose in mind: to make it simple for smaller businesses to utilize, integrate, and optimize their
telecommunications system, no matter what architecture lies beneath it.
Whether you’re looking to expand your network with virtualization and need to ensure your physical and virtual networks can talk to each other, or you need to ensure your telephone calls will go through regardless of their carrier, there’s a Total Access gateway that will fit your needs.
Let’s look at a few ways ADTRAN is changing the industry through Total Access!
Clear Benefits of the ADTRAN Total Access Series
-
A focus on transitioning businesses: Too many gateways and other network systems assume you already have one stable infrastructure in place, but that’s not the case in today’s telecommunications environment. Total Access means that no matter where your telecom network is at, or where it’s going, you’ll have a gateway that works.
-
Power Over Ethernet: As your network grows, so will your number of dependent access points. ADTRAN simplifies your power management by utilizing Power-Over-Ethernet technologies to run these IP endpoints with minimal extra power drain, saving you money.
-
Mix and Match: No matter what combination of virtual, digital, or analog devices you have, Total Access gateways have ports to fit them all. It uses smart switching technology to ensure they all coexist side-by-side without conflict, as well as having the option to enable Session Border Control protections for those transitioning to an on-premises VoIP network.
-
Advanced traffic management: As the services being provided by your data network expand, competition between services for bandwidth becomes a growing concern. ADTRAN integrates smart technologies directly into their gateways, which optimize your throughput, ensuring no “bandwidth hogs” slow down the network for
everyone else. -
Superior Quality of Service: QoS is always a concern when using VoIP technologies, especially if customers are involved. The Total Access line includes robust QoS systems, including dynamic Voice Quality Monitoring that automatically detects low-bandwidth situations and adjusts the traffic patterns to give you the clearest possible voice quality.
-
Ease of Use: All these features might have been overwhelming in years past, but ADTRAN knows that not everyone has a high-powered networking expert at their disposal. The Total Access series can be controlled through either a standard Unix-style command line interface, or through a windowed GUI, depending on the skill level of your administrators. Whichever UI they choose, they’ll still enjoy the benefits of Total Access.
In short, the ADTRAN Total Access line of SIP Gateways are the perfect solution for businesses who need a compass to help guide them through the storms of modern business networking. Whatever course you need to plot, your Total Access gateway will be able to keep up and ensure you get optimal returns on your telecommunications investment.
