Converged Access Point

AN ALL-IN-ONE CONVERGED ACCESS DEVICE ASSURING IP QOS & SECURITY WITH LOWEST TCO FOR SMB & REMOTE OFFICES

Small/Medium Business/Enterprise (SMB/SME) and Enterprise Remote/Branch Offices are moving from separate legacy data and voice networks to a converged IP network. The motivation is simple: cut costs while enabling new IP applications that are more intelligent, flexible and efficient.

In preparing for this all-IP migration, Quality of Service (QoS) and security are critical concerns. Mainstream business applications require security with session level response time guarantees. Each Voice over IP (VoIP) call must achieve toll-quality performance. In addition, productivity tools like video conferencing must meet strict quality standards to be useful. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is also critical as small office environments seek solutions that fit their business model.

Converged Access Point (CAP) is the industry’s first platform purpose-built to deliver the application performance, WAN efficiency, security and TCO that small offices need to bring business-critical voice, data, and video onto a converged IP WAN. Based on the company’s advanced QoSWorks traffic management technology, the CAP offers premium application performance with lowest TCO.

KEY ADVANTAGES

• Toll-quality VoIP, jitter-free video and business-class IP data performance
• Precise per session, per user application performance guarantees
• WAN optimization with bandwidth utilization that can exceed 95%
• Comprehensive VPN and firewall security that is application-aware
• VoIP gateway support for legacy voice, fax and other analog devices
• Integrated, secure 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi access
• An integrated, compact “all-in-one” small office solution reducing TCO by 66%
• Eliminates the need for separately managed devices that can degrade performance and create single points of failure

Service providers can also easily deploy and operate the CAP as part of a managed VoIP, security or converged service for small and remote office locations. Secure access, toll-quality VoIP, premium business application guarantees, and the ability to measure and verify SLAs are just a few of the highly differentiated services that are possible with the CAP.
