Product:
Unified Services Exchange switch for switching types of traffic
Target Customers: All the service providers who have
to move from TDM to packet services or new service providers who have to coexist
with the TDM world.
The Gap That It Fills: Contrary to what Cisco likes us to
believe, TDM is going to remain for a long time, though everyone will move
towards IP. The service providers now know that it is not a question of
either/or. You have to mix and match. So, what is the problem? Today, it is
possible to make TDM talk to IP and ATM to TDM and so on. Problem is–you
actually keep on converting and reconverting traffic.

Empowertel’s VoIP switch combines in a single box switching
of TDM, ATM and of course the IP traffic. The USX seamlessly integrates with the
existing Intelligent Network (IN) services and enables the migration of voice
traffic to the new IP infrastructure for service providers. The box integrates
call control, media gateway and application service platform functionalityies in
a single box. Service providers, who want a smooth migration to IP without
losing their investment on the existing network, will be using these boxes.
