Tenor
BX VoIP MultiPath Switch
The Quintum® Tenor® BX MultiPath Switch offers enterprises using ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) lines an easy, cost
effective way to capitalize on the power of Voice over IP (VoIP). The Tenor integrates VoIP gateway functionality with its
unique intelligent call routing, MultiPath architecture, and QoS support all in one solution.
Enterprises can benefit from a variety of valuable applications such as PBX extension, remote office connectivity, long
distance consolidation and call centers. BX Series products can support either 2, 4 or 8 BRI lines.
Both versions of Tenor include the features that made Quintum the VoIP market value leader
• MultiPath architecture
for easy integration with existing voice and data infrastructure, meaning little or no re-programming
of the PBX, or upgrades are required and no need for special dialing plans.
• Transparent MultiPath Call Routing
to intelligently route calls between the PBX, the PSTN, and the IP network to achieve
the best combination of cost and quality. The Tenor can also route calls over IP to reduce costs, and then transparently "hop
off" to the PSTN, to reach off-net locations.
• Auto Provisioning
interface allows the Tenor solution to be deployed worldwide, and configured automatically by acquiring
the configuration information from a central server, upon installation. The same auto-provisioning capability allows the Tenor
to be configured from a VoIP application, thus supporting a single user interface between the VoIP application and the Tenor
configuration.
•
Unified Communications Proxy (UCP)
provides 'Any to Any' connectivity: SIP - SIP, TDM - TDM and SIP - TDM, for easy
integration with any network.
• Universal Dial Plan
that provides a programmable dial plan so Tenor can be integrated into any network environment.
• PacketSaver™ Technology
multiplexing to reduce bandwidth consumption by up to 57% by combining voice packets
from multiple calls into a single packet.
• NATAccess™
to allow Tenor to operate behind NAT firewalls to translate internal IP addresses into public addresses when a
VoIP call is established with an outside party.
•
Remote Management
for anywhere, anytime remote management even behind NAT firewalls with Quintum's Remote
Management Session Server.
