Efficiency and cost savings are two of the main drivers for the transition to VoIP. As service providers are evaluating the timing and benefits of such a move, ZyXEL Communications today at the NTCA Expo 2007, announced the VOP1248G, a POTS/VoIP line card. Designed to ease the transition to VoIP networks, the new card features a media gateway that converts analog voice to VoIP, thus eliminating the need to install special VoIP phones or an analog telephone adapter (ATA) on customer premises. Now, service providers can offer their customers next generation voice services while saving on costs.

ZyXEL’s new POTS/VoIP line card works in conjunction with ZyXEL’s IES 5000 and IES 5005 chassis-based Multiple Service Access Platforms (MSAP) and is targeted to telcos looking for an easier way to offer the benefits of a VoIP architecture to its customers. The VOP1248G is a 48-port module card that enables wireline carriers to provide lifeline telephone service to their residential and business subscribers. ZyXEL’s IES 5000 and IES 5005 MSAPs provide support for ADSL 2+, G.SHDSL.BIS and even VDSL 2 line cards, and are ideal for telcos who would like to offer multiple services over the same box.

“ZyXEL is the fourth largest IP DSLAM vendor in the world,” said Munira Brooks, senior vice president of sales, marketing and business development. "This VoIP line card solution allows service providers to offer feature rich telephone services to their customers and do it economically by smoothly transitioning to an IP based network.”

The new POTS/VoIP line card supports all network signaling protocols, digital signal processing and an IP packetization mechanism based on open standards that include SIP and H.248/Megaco for broad range interoperability with leading softswitch manufacturers. Additionally, the up-to-date QoS function guarantees the service quality of voice packets. The VOP1248G works in conjunction with ZyXEL’s IP MSAP’s, the IES-5000 and 5005, and co-exists with any broadband DSL line card in the main chassis. The IES-5000 and 5005 support strong IP QoS functions based on IEEE802.1q to guarantee and prioritize different types of traffic including voice, data or IPTV.

Voice Services Supported by the VOP1248G include:

* Emergency / 911
* Do Not Disturb
* Selective/Anonymous call rejection
* Call waiting
* Call hold
* Music on hold
* Call transfer (blind and attended transfer)
* Call return and call back on busy
