The VoIP market is quickly moving beyond the early adopter stage and into the growth stage. As the technology increasingly becomes an integral part of business systems, it promises to change the way we use telecommunications and opens up new ways to increase efficiency and productivity.

Mediatrix VoIP access devices, VoIP gateways and solutions are designed for immediate deployment within existing network architectures ?delivering on the promises of VoIP today. Mediatrix products and solutions focus on delivering IP telephony's basic benefits: cost-effectiveness, reliability and scalability.

Mediatrix VoIP access devices are adaptors that connect conventional telephones, legacy telephony systems or G3 fax machines to a Local Area Network (LAN). They access an Intranet or the Internet to permit high-quality, full-duplex, audio/fax communications over IP Packet Networks. In addition, Mediatrix VoIP gateways provide IP connectivity to legacy PBX systems, as well as PSTN access to IP-based PBX and Key systems. Moreover, Mediatrix products are designed to provide VoIP functionality over existing corporate networks and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to produce cost-effective converged voice/data IP networks.

What's more, Mediatrix products support the major signaling protocols in use today: SIP, MGCP/NCS and H.323. This allows for maximum industry interoperability and greater flexibility in field deployments.


Cost-effectiveness

Mediatrix products and solutions provide real cost-effectiveness by leveraging existing equipment and networks. This allows a gradual, scalable implementation and easy integration with service provider and enterprise data networks.

In so doing, Mediatrix products provide all the benefits of Internet telephony (long distance savings, network convergence benefits, IP telephony applications, and so on) while retaining existing legacy telephony equipment.

Reliability

Mediatrix products perform all required IP telephony tasks in one small enclosure. They digitize the audio signal and then compress, packetize and manage the flow of digital audio/fax information to permit high-quality, full-duplex communications over any TCP/IP network.

In fact, Mediatrix devices have been designed to support all major industry standards used today, such as the G.711, G.723.1 and G.729ab codecs.

Scalability

Because they have been designed to support major industry standards, Mediatrix products can be integrated with existing telephones, faxes, legacy PBX and Key systems and LAN/WAN equipment such as bridges, routers and switches. These characteristics enable gradual and strategic implementation within virtually any telephony/data network.

To address current market needs, Mediatrix provides a range of VoIP access devices and VoIP gateways that are stackable, rackable, and feature an elegant casing and practical size suitable for desktop applications.

Feature-Rich

Mediatrix products and solutions offer a set of telephony and network features that provide one of the best price-performance product offering in the market. In addition to high-quality voice transmissions, Mediatrix products offer the features required to interact effectively with the PSTN.

Moreover, Mediatrix products and solutions integrate advanced security features (e.g. SNMPv3, NAT/firewall traversal). Also, Mediatrix products are designed to be remotely and easily managed, configured and provisioned. To that end, Mediatrix markets its own element management system, the Unit Manager Network.

Interoperability

Since the VoIP industry is comprised of many equipment vendors, Mediatrix' comprehensive products and solutions offer seamless integration with systems of leading vendors of IP telephony solutions with significant market penetration. Mediatrix has achieved seamless interoperability with soft switches, SIP servers, H.323 gatekeepers and MGCP call agents of leading VoIP vendors.

In turn, service providers, carriers and system integrators can deploy total end-to-end IP telephony solutions to end-users, by making use of Mediatrix products and VoIP management systems from Mediatrix Business Partners.
