| The
SPA-3102 features the ability to connect standard
telephones and fax machines to IP-based data networks
with the additional benefit of an integrated connection
for legacy telephone network "hop-on, hop-off"
applications. SPA3102 users will be able to leverage
their broadband phone service more than ever by
automatically routing local calls from mobile
phones and land lines over to VoIP service providers
and vice versa. If power is lost to the unit or
Internet service is down, calls can be redirected
to a traditional carrier via the FXO interface.
A
user calling from a mobile phone or land line
will be able to reduce and even eliminate international
and long distance telephone charges by first calling
their SPA3102 via a local telephone number. The
advanced authentication and call routing intelligence
programmed into the SPA-3102 will route the call
via the Internet to the far end destination. In
addition, when using the SPA3102 at the far end,
VoIP calls placed to that location can be either
answered or further processed and routed on as
a local call to any legacy land line or mobile
phone.
The
SPA-3102 supports one RJ-11 POTS (Plain Old Telephone
Service) FXS port to connect an existing analog
phone or fax machine. The SPA3102 also supports
one PSTN FXO port to connect to a Telco or PBX
circuit. The SPA3102 includes 2 100BaseT RJ-45
Ethernet interfaces to connect to a home or office
LAN, as well as an Ethernet connection to a broadband
modem or router. The SPA3102 FXS and FXO lines
can be independently configured via software controlled
by the service provider or the end user.
Installed
by the end user and remotely provisioned, configured
and maintained by the service provider, each SPA3102
converts voice traffic into data packets for transmission
over an IP network. Compact in design, the SPA3102
can be used in consumer and business VoIP service
offerings including a full-featured IP Centrex
environment. The SPA-3102 uses international standards
for voice and data networking for reliable voice
and fax operation. |
