Adit^® 600 Converged Services Access Gateway

Widely deployed with over 120,000 units in service, Force10 Networks’ Adit 600 provides a versatile, carrier-grade Converged Services Access Gateway. Optimized for a wide range of applications, the Adit 600 combines multi-network access and multi-service delivery capabilities into a single compact chassis. This results in an extremely cost-effective and flexible access platform that simplifies the migration from TDM to next-generation VoIP and IP data services for service providers and small to medium business (SMB) customers.

• Customizable, modular architecture integrates VoIP gateway, IP access router, IP VPN, Firewall, channel bank, 1/0 DCS, CSU/DSU, and DLC functions
• High-density design supports configurations up to 48 FXS or FXO ports, 18 T1s, or 12 10/100 interfaces in a 2RU high chassis
• Expandable platform delivers greater system reliability and scalability while providing a future-ready service migration path
• Supports multi-T1 or 10/100 Ethernet WAN/trunk interfaces
• Provides a high-capacity integrated SIP- or MGCP-based VoIP gateway supports up to 40 simultaneous calls per chassis (G.711 or G.729 codecs and T.38 Fax)
• Streamlines the delivery of new revenue-generating services using hot-swappable service cards
• Advanced Ethernet/IP routing functionality includes VPN (IPSec, PPTP, L2TP), Stateful Firewall, NAT, and VLAN tagging
• Supports up to 8 bonded T1s (WAN), and up to 2 PRI/T1 CAS voice trunks from a single chassis
• Remote management options enable operational efficiencies and provide high service availability to SMB customers

Unlike competing devices which provide only fixed configurations, the Adit 600 delivers a flexible modular architecture that supports hot-swappable service cards.  In addition to greater system reliability and scalability, this design delivers a longer product deployment lifecycle. The customizable Adit 600 is unique in its ability to integrate new revenue-generating services simply by installing new hot-swappable cards. Any service card can be placed in any of the six available slots. Modular functions that can be added to the Adit 600 include Ethernet/IP routing features such as VPN (IPSec, PPTP, L2TP), Stateful Firewall/NAT, and VLAN tagging.  High-capacity SIP- and/or MGCP-based VoIP gateway functionality can also be integrated – VoIP trunking (PRI/CAS) or line termination (FXS) – to enable the delivery of converged IP services.

• Migrating single-site and multi-site SMB customers from traditional services to new Managed Services (VPN, Firewall)
• VoIP trunking or line termination gateway
• MGCP-to-SIP conversion and migration
• Integrated WAN access device (converged voice and data)
• IP/IP-VPN access router and firewall
• Traditional multi-T1 channel bank, CSU/DSU and 1/0 DCS
