IP•Tube T3
DS3 to Ethernet Converter
Overview & Applications
| T3 Voice, Video and Data Over IP The IP•Tube T3 encapsulates DS3 circuits into IP Ethernet packets. The conversion of T3 circuits into packets enables organizations to dramatically reduce leased line costs by exploiting the efficiency of Ethernet networks. T3 Toll charges assessed by long distance and local carriers are eliminated or dramatically reduced for:
The IP•Tube T3's low latency T3 Over IP connection provides for the transparent interconnection of Private Branch Exchanges, Mobile Switching Centers, Telecom Switches and T3 based communication systems via: | |||||||||
LANs, WANs, MANs, IP Satellite and Wireless Ethernet | |||||||||
 IP•Tube E3 Standard Features Service Quality Packet Prioritizing | |||||||||
Management of the IP•Tube T3's is accomplished with a Command Line Interface that is accessed through a Console or Telnet connection. Templates of the most common configuration provide for an Edit and Paste configuration. SNMP MIB I and II support, with traps, is a standard feature. | |||||||||
IP•Tube T3 Options | |||||||||
Alternator Load Balancing Option | |||||||||
 | |||||||||
Protector Option The protector option utilizes the second LAN interface as a redundant path for the interconnection of the IP encapsulated T3 Circuit. The extension of the T3 circuit has a fault tolerant link that is configured to always on, or with switch over criteria.

| Rack Mount Kit The IP•Tube family is ready for your most demanding central office or data center environments. With the Rack Mount Kit, IP•Tube products are easily installed in 19" and 23" racks. Easy access to both front and rear sides facilitates technician maintenance procedures. |
Applications
| T3 Private Line Services over IP | |
Multi-Site Enterprises, Cellular Service Pro viders, 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 IP•Tube T3 provides organizations with the ability to interconnect their existing T3 Communication 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 The most compelling option for the interconnection of T3 based systems is when it can be accomplished over a Local Area Network. The deployment of Fiber based LANS such as Gigabit Ethernet, provides organizations with high performance and high quality bandwidth that is especially well suited for the interconnection of PBXs and Telecom Switches. | |
WANs Wide Area Networks that have sufficient bandwidth and Quality of Service provisioning result in very significant cost savings especially for Multinational Corporations. | |
Cellular Base Station Backhaul | |
| IP•Tube T3s 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. | |
Broadband Service Providers Companies, that are able to provide IP Ethernet access networks generate new revenue by offering traditional T3 leased line and private line services, such as:
Metropolitan Area Networks Metropolitan carriers with IP or Ethernet access networks deliver traditional leased line and private line services. Utilities | |
Telcos reduce costs by delivering profitable leased and private line services over their flexible Ethernet infrastructures. | |
| |
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 T3 based communication equipment is made possible with the IP•Tube T3s Over Ethernet capability. | |
