Broadband access provider Verilink Corp. today released an enhanced version of its eLink-300 model Integrated Access Device (IAD). The new edition includes improved bandwidth provisioning flexibility through the implementation of dual T1 uplinks, dial back-up capability, and advanced fail-safe, self-test capabilities that provide power surge detection and suppression on FXS ports.
The device resides in a server room or telephony equipment closet at the customer premise, connecting the customer’s voice and data networks to a provider’s WAN network via a T1 interface. Verilink says this method lowers connectivity costs while expanding services to customers.
“[T]he eLink-300 was designed to produce toll-quality voice over a high-speed T1 line while at the same time offering scalability as a business grows,” says Sab Gosal, Verilink’s vice president of marketing. “With new dual T1 capacity and fail-safe enhancements to protect against costly service disruptions due to factors such as power surges and lightning strikes, carriers can address the needs of larger-sized SMB customers as well as those that require high-reliability and bandwidth beyond a single T1.”
