Site Survivability
The Survivable Tenor S delivers survivability for all SIP and circuit-based equip-
ment at remote sites. The Tenor S also features built-in SIP proxy technology so
remote offices can continue to operate even if their connection to a central SIP
session border controller is lost. That means IP phones can keep working regardless of what happens on
the network. Survivable Tenor is a complete solution and is the only device needed in the branch office
to support legacy equipment, local PSTN connectivity and survivability of the local IP telephony network.
Survivable Tenor S delivers maximum survivability and is the most dependable SIP access solution on the
market.
Tenors provide intelligent connectivity for
legacy voice equipment and connectivity
to the PSTN. In fact, the Tenor can be
deployed to connect a traditional PBX in a
branch office to the HQ IP-PBX, so at a later
date when the traditional PBX is removed
and IP-phones are deployed, the Tenor
remains as the survivable branch office
gateway.
Tenor's support of survivability could not be
easier with its SIP endpoint auto-discovery
and auto-configuration. New SIP endpoint
information is automatically registered in
the internal database where it will be used
to provide sufficient call routing
intelligence to maintain dial-tone to the
desktop and support basic calling capabilities if connectivity with the server is lost.
Just as important, this auto-discovery means that network administrators don’t have to update Quintum hardware
every time there is a change at the remote site. Quintum solutions automatically maintain their own survivability
without requiring intervention by a technician.
The Perfect Fit
TENORS OFFER MORE THAN TRADITIONAL GATEWAYS
Efficient bandwidth utilization.
Quintum’s PacketSaver™ Technology “multiplexes” VoIP packets heading along the same network route
— delivering efficiency improvements of up to 57% over typical compression techniques. This bandwidth
savings is especially important for supporting remote offices using thin WAN connections — as well as
for service providers supporting massive volumes of VoIP traffic.
Full remote manageability.
Tenor switches provide complete configuration and management tools that enable you to provide fast,
effective support — even when devices are located behind NAT firewalls. With Quintum's Remote
Management Session Server (RMSS), IT teams can simply and securely manage switches and gateways
that are widely distributed from a single application via telnet, FTP or Quintum's own graphical Tenor
Management Console to perform essential management tasks remotely. This allows more efficient use
of technical support resources, and ensures end-user or customer satisfaction.
Embedded survivability and auto-discovery features ensure that essential
calling capabilities will remain functional in remote offices, even if the
trunking connection to a central or hosted IP-PBX is lost - as well as in the
event of an IP-PBX malfunction.
