NEC i-series IP Extender
Remote employees can now experience true network convergence - connectivity to the corporate voice and data networks over a LAN, public or private packet networks. The i-Series Single IP Extender utilizes a teleworker's existing IP network connection through a router, DSL or cable modem, other remote access device or a company's private network to connect to the corporate voice and data systems.
The i-Series Single IP Extender can be connected to all standards-compliant cable and DSL customer premise equipment (CPE) equipped with a 10Base-T Ethernet port. By the year 2003, it is estimated that more than 137 million users worldwide, including one-third of the U.S. work force, will engage in at least part-time telecommuting as a function of their employment contracts. Teleworking has become a strategic advantage for many companies, allowing them to recruit and retain skilled employees, save money on real estate and increase employee productivity. But to be truly productive, remote workers need access to the same set of tools at their home that they have in their office - high-speed data connectivity and a feature-rich telephone system. NEC's i-Series Single IP Extender provides a teleworker or remote call center agent with the same digital telephone set and all the features they have in the corporate office or call center. By sending the voice traffic and signaling over a managed IP network back to an i-Series Gateway located at the corporate site, the i-Series Single IP Extender allows voice traffic to be seamlessly carried over an existing data network.
VOICE LOOKS LIKE DATA. Remote Voice Protocol over IP (RVPoIP)TM converts voice and signaling information into IP data packets, which can be transmitted over any TCP/IP network. The i-Series Single IP Extender performs sophisticated echo cancellation and noise detection algorithms to improve voice service quality. Packetized voice can be transmitted over any managed IP network that can guarantee sufficient bandwidth and Quality of Service (QoS). The i-Series Single IP Extender performs best over managed networks, such as DSL or a private campus network.
