 SignalPath™ 201 Product Overview

spacer

The SignalPath™ 201 (SP201) is an advanced signaling protocol converter designed to facilitate interoperability between incompatible communication networks. The SP201 enables a seamless interface between in-band and out-of-band networks, and between out-of-band networks and other out-of-band networks.

Different types of communication protocols, both in-band and out-of-band, exist globally. One country could have up to six or seven different protocols simultaneously in use within its networks. The SP201 breaks down the communication barriers presented by these different protocols and enables the flow of information across any network.

Not only can you increase your potential to connect to a larger portion of the world market, but you can also eliminate charges you may be currently paying to one or more companies for network connections. This means more revenue in your corporate pocket.


 EXTENSIVE PROTOCOL SUPPORT
bullet In-band protocols supported are R1, R2, and DTMF.
bullet Out-of-band protocols supported are SS7-ANSI, C7-ITU-T, and NI2 and ETSI PRI-ISDN.
bullet Custom variants of both in-band and out-of-band protocols are available.
bullet
Multiple protocol support in a single platform means better inventory management and lower overall operating cost.

 COMPACT CHASSIS DESIGN
bullet
The SP201 features a compact 1U height designed for budgeted space, with a capacity of up to 4 E1 or T1 interfaces for the customer with low-end requirements.
bullet
Chassis-based, the SP201 is designed specifically for today's high standards in the communications environment.

 SUPERIOR MAINTENANCE AND DIAGNOSTICS
