• Result: Significant cost savings by removing monthly T1 circuit fees, with no drop in network performance, and preservation of existing network equipment.
Large East Coast County makes the move from ATM to MPLS
• Opportunity: County government seeks to cost effectively move from aging ATM infrastructure to MPLS packet based network topology.
• Solution: Connect existing PBX equipment to new MPLS network with Engage IP•Tube T1 circuit to packet converters. Integrated echo cancellation and redundant power ensure robust performance.
• Result: Reliable lower cost communications with no changes to the existing PBX equipment.
State creates backup IP network for critical T1 radio traffic
• Opportunity: Critical T1 traffic carried over microwave radio links is subject to weather based outages.
• Solution: Detect T1 circuit issues and automatically convert the T1 traffic to packets and route over backup State IP fiber network using Engage IP•Tube T1 with Protector option.
• Result: Critical T1 traffic now has multiple independent network paths to get from source to destination, and protection switching and conversion between circuit and packet formatting is handled automatically based on network availability.
