solutions, today announced its newest
Signaling Gateway product, the SignalPath™
201-Z (SP201-Z). Designed as a cost-effective
variant of Encore’s highly acclaimed
SP-201 product line, the SP-201-Z is
an advanced signaling gateway that facilitates
out-of-band interoperability between
incompatible voice networks, as well

by these different protocols and enables
the flow of information across any network.

four E1 or T1 trunks and up to 120 DSOs
