Lucent Technologies APX 1000 Universal Gateway The Universal Port Standard Universal Gateways enable telecommunication carriers to support several of the most popular telecommunication services including dialup modem and voice services. Carriers are able to sustain a competitive advantage by utilizing a converged network for both, voice and data networks, which reduces their operating expenses while delivering a complete feature set. Beyond worldwide homologation and NEBS III compliance, the APX 1000 offers production quality TAOS software along with innovative hardware designs for hot swappable cards and fan tray. Integration with NavisAccess provides network management above the traditional fault monitoring and alarming systems. The APX 1000 leverages Lucent s experience in the universal gateway arena, as it is easy to operate and scales to fit into various capacity requirements. The APX 1000 supports a complete suite of services that can be integrated with call control and SS7. Lucent Technologies has shipped over 20 million ports of gateway products to carriers. These gateways are in production networks in major customer networks throughout the world. The APX 1000 has the feature sets defined by major carriers. The size and density of the APX 1000 makes it ideal for both small and large POP s. A single APX 1000 supports 672/720 channels of T1/E1. In a 7-foot rack, the APX 1000 supports 10,080/10,800 universal ports in a T1/E1 stack and rack configuration.
The APX 1000 uses multiple processors to deliver the highest throughput to support Universal Port requirement, increased customer satisfaction, and lower cost of ownership. Voice services such as TDM switching, calling card, 1+ Long Distance applications are supported along with next generation applications using PC clients, Unified Messaging Servers and Conferencing Servers. The APX 1000 supports softswitch controlled VoIP using SS7 trunks. The APX 1000 architecture supports the leading call control protocols including H.323, IPDC, H.248* and SIP* (* future support). This includes the ability to support SS7 integration for services like Internet Call Diversion or voice based 1+ Long Distance applications. SS7 call control relieves PSTN congestion and lowers recurring costs.
