REASON FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF THIS PRODUCT:
- To complete the line of SS-16 products
SS-16 VOIP-2-GSM is a new member of the SS Telecoms family of
gateways. It is a compact variant of the classic VoIP to mobile gateway,
featuring just two mobile modules and an ETH port. While previous SS
devices connected analogue (FXO/FXS) or digital (ISDN NT/TE) phone ports
to mobile networks, this one has a Voice over IP port, since it was designed to
convert outgoing and incoming calls from VoIP to mobile.
The purpose remains the same,
cutting down the costs of cellular calls, but
the new
mobile
-2-VoIP interface with LCR capabilities
represents a new
approach in
convergence
between VoIP and home or corporate mobile
communications.
By interfacing between mobile networks and IP it allows end customers to
benefit by saving costs, while its two modules design provides scalability and
flexibility.
- To extend the range
While the analogue or digital devices equipment allowed connections to
phone terminals or PBX’s located a few meters or up to 1000m away, with
SS-16 VOIP-2-GSM the length of the connection becomes infinite. The mobile
gateway may be located anywhere in the world and still perform an interface
task.
Support, debugging and firmware upgrading can also be performed faster and
from a longer distance. Previous versions of the products were connected to a
local computer via serial RS-232 or USB cable. This allows management of
the device, using an OAM program, sending/receiving SMS and diagnostic or
update of the firmware. These operations had to be performed from the
computer connected to it!
With this new SS-16 VOIP-2-GSM, it can be in anywhere in the world. The
professional who performs debug or update of firmware connects to it
remotely, via IP networks.
Intended use
SS-16 VOIP-2-GSM was intended to provide cost-effective access to mobile
networks for the SIP users registered to the SS Telecoms IP-PBX.
Using the SS-16 VOIP-2-GSM can be beneficial for home users too, but it
was intended for
office use
, both for companies that have many foreign
affiliates and for small to medium companies that already own an IP
infrastructure. Companies with international offices can use one or several
SS-16 VOIP-2-GSM devices at each location - the calls will be routed as VoIP
via Internet to the respective locations where they will be
terminated
as local
GSM calls to the respective mobile networks, with minimum costs.
