The Mediant 1000 is based on VoIPerfect TM , AudioCodes underlying, best-of- breed, media gateway core technology for all of its products. The Mediant 1000 provides superior voice technology for connecting legacy telephone and PBX systems to IP networks, as well as seamless connection of the IP-PBX to the PSTN. In addition to operating as a pure media gateway, the Mediant 1000 can also host partner applications and serve as an IP-PBX platform. The Mediant 1000 is fully interoperable with multiple vendor gateways, softswitches, gatekeepers, proxy servers, IP phones, session border controllers and firewalls.

The Mediant 1000 matches the density requirements for smaller locations while meeting service providers demands for scalability. The compact Mediant 1000 Modular Gateway is extremely scalable and supports multiples of 1, 2, or 4 E1/T1/J1 spans, or 1 to 24 analog ports in various FXO/FXS configurations. The Mediant 1000 will also support mixed digital/analog configurations.

The Mediant 1000 can support a variety of telephony interfaces. It contains up to 4 digital or up to 6 analog interface modules with 4 ports. The digital module can be configured as regular E1/T1/J1 interfaces, with up 1 or 2 paired spans acting as life-line interfaces for switching to the PSTN in case of power failure or network problems. The analog module is available as regular FXS or FXO interfaces, where 1 FXS line can be used as a life-line interface for switching to the PSTN.

Features:

• Digital connecting the PSTN or PBX to the IP-network
• Analog FXS connecting analog phones and fax machines to the IP-network
• Analog FXO connecting analog lines from the Central Office (CO) or PBX to the IP network
• Employs AudioCodes VoIPerfect technology for outstanding voice quality
• Scalable pay-as-you-grow modular architecture
• Rich offering of digital (E1/T1/J1) and analog (FXS/FXO) interfaces
• Cost-efficient for low density gateways
• Life-line fallback to PSTN in case of power failure or network degradation
• PSTN fallback for assured connectivity
• Ideal platform for OEM VoIP applications

Applications:

• PBX Networking
• IP-Centrex/Hosted IP-PBX
• Partner Applications (e.g., IP-PBX, Call Center)
• Remote Office Applications

Seamless Interface with Legacy Enterprise Networks
The Mediant 1000 has enhanced hardware and software capabilities to ease its installation and to help maintain voice quality. If the measured voice quality falls beneath a pre-configured value, or the path to the destination is disconnected, the Mediant 1000 can assure voice connectivity by falling back to the PSTN. In the event of network problems, calls can be routed back to the PSTN without requiring routing modifications in the PBX. Further reliability is provided by dual Ethernet ports and optional dual AC power supply.

Flexible Platform for Partner Applications
The Mediant 1000 extends the flexibility of the Media Gateway family with additional deployment options. The open platform on the Mediant 1000 offers partners the option to host their own applications (e.g., IP-PBX or call center application) using a powerful, low-power processor and hard disks to provide a complete solution within the Mediant 1000 chassis.
