Black•Tube E1 Link Encryptor
Overview & Applications
AES Encrypted E1 Voice and Data over IP The Black•Tube E1 encapsulates full and fractional E1 circuits, along with their framing and signaling bits, into AES encrypted IP packets. Encryption of the packetized E1 protects vital information from eavesdropping, tampering and regulatory compliance violations. Signaling Support | |
Black•Tube E1 Standard Features | |
Assured Delivery Protocol Interconnecting the Black•Tube E1 through a Virtual Private Network with sufficient real time committed information rate ensures that the required quality of service is provisioned. The second Ethernet interface provides a management port. Each LAN interface features independent IP network configurations.

Black•Tube E1 Options | |
DS0 Time Slot Multiplexer OPTION -MUX | |
E1 Switch OPTION -SWT The E1 switch option enables the E1 Port 1 interface to be manually switched between a E1 circuit connected to E1 Port 2 or to E1 Over IP packets connected with the remote IPTube. • Remote Control of E1 Connection to Telco or E1overIP | |
E1 Link Protector OPTION -LPT The E1 Link Protector provides an automatic back up for E1 circuits with E1 Over IP connecting via Wireless Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, IP Satellite Services, xDSL,.... • Automatic Protection Switch for E1 Circuit | |
Lossless Data Compression OPTION -C The Black•Tube E1-C continuously detects idle and redundant data within each E1 Voice circuit resulting in as much as a 40 to 1 bandwidth savings. TDM over IP WAN bandwidth is not consumed by silent or redundant circuits. | |
Alternator Load Balancing OPTION -ALT

Applications
E1 Private Line Services over IP Multi-Site Enterprises, Cellular Service Providers, Education Districts, Universities, National, State and Local Government, and Municipalities incur significant recurring monthly costs for rigid-bandwidth leased lines used only for the interconnection of PBXs and Telecom switches. The BlackTube E1 provides organizations with the ability to securely interconnect their existing phone systems over flexible bandwidth lines that are used to carry data, voice, and video. The Voice Only Leased Line Toll charges assessed by long distance and local carriers are eliminated or dramatically reduced by transporting voice traffic across LANs and WANs. | |
LANs | |
WANs Wide Area Networks that have sufficient bandwidth and Quality of Service provisioning result in very significant cost savings especially for Multinational corporations. The BlackTube E1-C with lossless data compression, detects idle and redundant data within each voice circuit resulting in a 56 to 1 bandwidth savings. WAN bandwidth is not consumed by silence or redundant samples. | |
Wireless Ethernet | |
Connecting phone systems across a wireless Ethernet connection has a return on investment that is measured in weeks. Eliminating the wired connection for the E1 based communication equipment is made possible with the IP Tube’s E1 Over Ethernet capability. UnEncrypted interconnection of PBX connections across Wireless is able to be eavesdropped with Shareware Packet Capture programs. The BlackTube E1 ensures that private branch connections across wireless networks remain private. | |
Cellular Base Station Backhaul | |
BlackTube E1s are used to provide transparent interconnection of the Base Stations, Base Station Controllers and Mobile Switching Centers over IP Ethernet packet-switched networks. Cellular phone service providers are able to save substantially by converting to a packet switch network from circuit based TDM leased lines. The Loss Less Data compression option provides a 40 to 1 compression, which minimizes the bandwidth required to interconnect, is especially well suited to Cellular communication links. Engage's first product deployment, in the Spring of 2000, was for an international interconnection of a Cellular Base Station to a Base Station Controller. | |
Broadband Service Providers Companies, that are able to provide IP Ethernet access networks generate new revenue by offering traditional E1 leased line and private line services, such as:
Cable Operators Cable operators connect traditional E1 leased line and private line services over their hybrid fiber coax (HFC) cable networks.
Metropolitan Area Networks Metropolitan carriers with IP or Ethernet access networks deliver traditional leased line and private line services.
Utilities Utilities generate new revenue by offering traditional E1 leased line and private line services over their fiber or power line networks.
Incumbent Carriers Telcos reduce costs by delivering profitable leased and private line services over their flexible Ethernet infrastructures.
CLEC PBX Back Haul The BlackTube E1-Ecan provides CLEC's with a way to back haul E1 DSO's from a customer's phone systems over their Internet connection. The back hauled DSOs are connected to the CLEC's phone switch for connection to the Public Switched Telephone Networks. Local Exchange Carriers are able to offer an economical alternative to the local Phone Company.
International Toll Bypass The BlackTube E1's most dramatic cost savings is when it is used for the international interconnections of TDM based telecommunication equipment. The BlackTube E1's are interoperable with the European TDM standard E1. |
