The Egate-100 is a channelized gateway for interconnecting TDM and packet networks. It aggregates and switches Ethernet traffic to a single STM-1/OC-3 port, for up to 63 or 84 remote sites over E1 or T1 circuits respectively; or up to 126 remote sites over fractional E1/T1 circuits. The traffic is combined into a channelized STM-1/OC-3 stream, and transmitted over the packet network via the unit's Gigabit Ethernet port.

Features:

• Considerably reduced equipment costs, replacing expensive channelized STM-1/OC-3 routers or multi-box solutions based on converter racks and switches
• Single-box solution simplifies operations
• Lower operating costs due to device scalability, smaller footprint and low power consumption
• Added service availability thanks to redundancy on the ports and power supply
