    IPmux in Next Generation IP-based Metropolitan Area Networks

     Typical Users
    - City governments
    - School districts
    - University MANs
    - Health agencies
    - Government agencies
    - Enterprise campus environments
     Typical Applications
    - PBX Voice Trunking
    - Centralized PSTN access
    - Voice and data convergence
    More and more local governments, educational institutions and multi-location enterprises are able to take advantage of low-cost Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) for data connectivity between agencies, branches and institutions. In many cases these organizations are also paying for leased E1/T1 lines for voice trunking between locations.

    Eliminate E1/T1 Leased Lines

    Leasing E1 or T1 lines for PBX connectivity at each branch and office location can be very expensive. Institutions can save on leased line costs by centralizing PSTN access and emulating E1/T1 trunk connections between remote locations across the same low-cost, high-speed metro Ethernet that many organizations are already using for their data connectivity.

    IPmux: Traditional Telephony over IP

    RAD’s IPmux TDMoIP™ Gateways convert E1/T1 voice and data streams into packets for transmission over IP and Ethernet-based networks. They connect each PBX in the IP network, for delivery of traditional voice communications over the same infrastructure that is used for data. Since the IPmux devices transport the information transparently, all the original PBX signaling and features are preserved, thereby offering seamless migration of traditional telephony to IP.
