Edgewater Introduces SMB VoIP VPN Routers
Edgewater Networks has introduced Edgemarc 4500 and 4500T4, two new VoIP VPN routers designed to connect branch offices to a company’s headquarters. Both access routers feature 4 x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switches, 1 x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet WAN as well as support for 8, 16, or 24 concurrent, encrypted VoIP calls.
Security for the routers is provided via a stateful packet inspection firewall and IPSec encryption. Bandwidth management is handled through voice traffic prioritization technology and traffic shaping. For monitoring and troubleshooting, Edgewater’s VPN provides voice quality measurements such as MOS, alerts, jitter, packet loss, and average packet loss burst. Further management is available through the vendor’s EdgeView troubleshooting tool.
