Voice over Frame Relay

Voice-Capable Frame Relay Routers
Voice over Frame Relay

Benefits

  • Convert leased/DDS services to frame relay

    Consolidate data, voice, and fax communications

    Support LANs and legacy equipment with one device and one connection

    Reduce interoffice long distance voice/fax costs

The MultiFRAD voice-capable frame relay routers consolidate LAN, legacy data, voice, and fax communications over frame relay. These FRADs are ideal for companies with multiple offices looking for an economical way to reduce intra-office long distance costs, eliminate costly leased lines, or combine LANs and legacy systems on one line.

Highlights

 

Economical Data/Voice/Fax Communications.  MultiFRADs allow companies with multiple offices using separate routers, legacy data, and voice links to consolidate these communications lines into one frame relay link per office.

Exceptional Voice Quality.  For voice quality that rivals PSTN quality, the MultiFRAD provides voice/data prioritization, G.729, and other voice compression algorithms.

Smooth Integration.  Extensive networking or product training is not necessary to implement this solution. You just plug multiplexers, terminals, or other legacy data equipment directly into the MultiFRAD to convert to frame relay.

Easy Interoffice Calling.  The MultiFRAD voice models allow users to place calls from their desk phones and use standard dial tone, ring, and busy signals. The calling interface is so similar to existing PSTN or PBX calling procedures, little to no user training is required.

Multi-Tech Solutions.  Multi-Tech offers easy to install single-port frame relay devices, routers, voice over IP devices, Internet access devices, and multiplexers for small to midsize companies. For more product, application, and technology information visit us at www.multitech.com.
