Leveraging Avaya DevConnect for in-depth, HP Alliance
Published on 1/11/2012

HP Networking, December 21, 2011:
HP Multi-Service Routers are now certified for deployment as a voice gateway with Avaya Aura.

HP has earned Avaya DevConnect Compliant certification for successful testing of the MSR30 Series as a PSTN Gateway for use with Avaya's industry leading Aura Unified Communications platform to interoperate with traditional telephone equipment.

Back in the late 1990s when I worked for 3Com's telephony group, it was all about providing proprietary, custom designed products that only worked with 3Com IP endpoints using vendor specific signaling protocols and media extensions named after the software designer!

A lot has changed since then, now that we are in the "post-PBX era" with many of unified communications applications running on industry-standard servers. It's all about standardization of protocols and interoperability among vendors as the dynamic communications needs of customers evolve. The expense of inflexible single vendor solutions wreak havoc on budgets and limit an organization's ability to adapt to new needs.

Why should you be forced or locked into buying single-vendor end-to-end solutions?
Networking technologies such as routers, switches, and media gateways need to be flexible to support virtually any business application and collaboration solution.  It should be totally transparent to users how their calls connect at home or overseas from work. ?  This simply isn't practical anymore with the consumerization of IT where users expect to be able to communication from anywhere, anytime, via any device.

My view is that HP Networking is the leader in providing customer flexibility with our FlexNetwork architecture. Our ability to roll out an Avaya + HP FlexBranch solution is a testament to that.  Many of our customers, and even competitors, were not aware of how much the 3Com acquisition enabled HP to significantly expand the flexibility and portfolio depth of our data center, campus and branch router product portfolio.  This family of modular routers includes a myriad voice interface modules and features on the mid-range HP MSR30 Router Series.  These interface modules, ranging from FXO & FXS analog ports to E&M, E1, T1, IDSN BRI S/T digital interfaces, provide full analog and digital PSTN connectivity with various densities.

What does Avaya DevConnect certification mean to HP customers?
For you, our HP Networking customers, this means we will have a more compelling Avaya + HP solution/portfolio giving our customers yet another reason to look to HP Networking as the foundation to deliver a secure, reliable and flexible UC&C solution. This will also help us capture incrementally more business with Avaya deployments such as we have enjoyed with many HP Technology Services, Enterprise Service and channel-driven deals we've won over the last several years by leveraging our large and growing Avaya-certified product portfolio.

What does it mean to Avaya customers?
Avaya Aura customers will now have the confidence to buy HP modular routers with integrated media gateways for all their small-to-medium sized branches and remote sites.

The Avaya Aura Session Manager 6.1 and Communication Manager 6.0.1 can interoperate directly with HP MSR30 Routers using SIP. This allows Avaya to more seamlessly integrate its server-based appliances, like the Avaya S8700. Avaya G350/G450 Media Gateways integrate via HP Networking infrastructure, such as the HP 5406zl Series Switch, which also supports the HP Avaya Aura Session Border Controller to enable SIP trunking.

Redline Launches RDL-5000
Published on 1/10/2012

Toronto, ON, November 9, 2011-  Redline Communications Group Inc. ("Redline") (TSX: RDL), a leading global provider of specialized broadband wireless systems, today announced the  availability of its high end licensed microwave product the RDL-5000, a high capacity, high power, packet microwave radio platform for Telecom backhaul and large enterprise connectivity.

With demand for video and other ultra high speed IP-based data services predicted to grow rapidly over the coming years, consuming more and more of the available bandwidth and demanding higher speeds, networks will have to keep pace.  This means more base stations in more locations and greater capacity between base stations and to the enterprise.

The RDL-5000 is a key component of Redline's wireless Virtual Fiber™ product line, bringing fiber-like network performance to areas where fiber installation is challenging or cost prohibitive.  It delivers high speed connectivity wirelessly, replacing the need to dig trenches and lay wires, and allowing service providers and enterprises alike to grow with user demand.

The RDL-5000 wireless radio platform delivers throughput of up to 800 megabits per second," stated Rick Cuthhill, Director Product Management for Redline. "With it, Service Providers can easily and quickly expand the backhaul component of their networks to meet increased demand, and deliver ultra high speed access services to their enterprise customers."

"Wireless backhaul is one of the fastest growing areas of our business.  To keep up with the growth in end customer demand for data services, we need high capacity, high power microwave solutions that can be delivered cost effectively" said Ahmed NAJI, Microwave Senior Manager with Médi Télécom, a Redline customer and global telecoms operator in Morocco.  "We really like how the RDL-5000 provides greater capacity and lower latency at any frequency, and unparalleled switching functionality without added latency, and we also like that this product is being delivered and supported locally with Redline professional services. All of this translates into a better return on investment for us."

The high power, high-sensitivity radio means longer ranges can be achieved at higher data speeds, while using smaller antennas.  Its built-in, 2-port, gigabit Ethernet switch provides unparalleled application versatility and supports redundancy in both traditional point-to-point and ring/mesh topologies for maximum flexibility in network design. The radio operates in all of the 6 to 38 GHz licensed bands, conforming to both ANSI and ETSI standards, and can be managed from any location through Redline's ClearView NMS, a full-featured network management system.

To date, the RDL-5000 has been successfully deployed in the Middle East, North Africa and Central America.  Redline will be offering the product to its full customer base in the upcoming weeks

Inscape Data H.264 2.0 Megapixel
Published on 1/10/2012
Inscape Data Corporation is pleased to offer H.264 video encoding and decoding technology with all current AirGoggle IP Video solution. H.264 is an open, licensed standard that supports the most efficient video compression techniques available today. Without compromising image quality, an Inscape Data H.264 IP camera or encoder can reduce the size of a live digital video surveillance transmission by more than 80% compared with the Motion JPEG format and 50% more than MPEG-4 Part 2 standard. This means that much less network bandwidth and storage space are required for video transmission of equal or greater picture quality. It also means much higher video quality can be achieved for a given bit rate than Motion JPEG or MPEG-4. With H.264 encoding technology, megapixel video surveillance is now possible through wired or wirelessly due to the reduction in bandwidth needs of the H.264 encoding technology.

Inscape Data is currently offering AirGoggle H.264 IP video camera and servers in box, dome, vandal dome, pan/tilt/zoom, and bullet form factors for indoor and outdoor applications from resolutions of 640x480 VGA to 1600 x 1200 UXGA 2.0 Megapixel. With Inscape Data progressive scan 2.0 megapixel technology, surveillance videos are captured and displayed with crisp and vivid details at up to 30 frames per second full motion video per camera. Choose from NVM1000 free 64 channel video software or professional NVM2000 licensed network video recorder with analytics software to monitor, record, and playback of the video streams provided by the AirGoggle IP Video surveillance cameras.
