The IPGate NED, a network edge IP gateway, is a compact member of the IPGate product family designed for use in network edge applications. Like its larger family members, the IPGate-NED reliably transports legacy Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and other circuit-based applications across converged IP networks therefore delivering the cost, efficiency and reliability benefits of IP migration using standards-based technologies. The IPGate-NED accommodates a wide variety of legacy analog and digital interfaces at configurable data rates ranging from 50 bps to 34 Mbps through the use of standards-based IP encapsulations. One rack unit high it accepts up to four user interface cards or port cards.
IPGate NED Differentiators:
- Standards-based encapsulation: CESoP, TDMoP, SAToP, and PWE3
- Industry’s widest repertoire of supported legacy data and voice interfaces
- Multiple clocking options
- Enables IP transport over commercial IP routers and switches
- User-friendly management software with intuitive HMI
- IPv4 and IPv6 support
- Redundant network connections and power supplies
- FIPS 140-2 Encryption (optional)
Network Edge IP Gateway Uses
- Serial Circuit migration to IP networks (Everything-over-IP)
- Virtual matrix switch: non-blocking any-to-any connections
- Long Haul Secure Communication (LHSC) over IP
- Radio-over-IP
