Edgewater Networks introduced a VoIP customer premise device that combines T1 CSU/DSU or E1 and an 8-port 10/100 Ethernet switch. The company said its new EdgeMarc 38T resolves NAT/Firewall traversal problems by providing a “voice-aware” firewall that supports SIP, MGCP, H.323 or SCCP to protect the enterprise LAN. It also combines sophisticated traffic management mechanisms including classification, prioritization, queuing, rate limiting and call admission control to ensure toll quality voice when using the same WAN link for both voice and data traffic. It includes the same Dynamic Access Control List functionality of the company’s existing EdgeMarc Series appliances which automates the provisioning, configuration and management of VoIP endpoints at the CPE. Finally, the EdgeMarc 38T includes bi-directional passive voice call monitoring (MOS scoring) to produce speech quality assessment statistics that help enforce service level agreements and facilitate problem resolution of network induced voice quality problems. Edgewater Networks is based in Santa Clara, California.
Edgewater is using Psytechnics’ non-intrusive voice quality measurement solution in its EdgeMarc Series product family.
