To ensure business continuity, many carriers and enterprises intend to provide telephone connectivity during a disaster or emergency via satellite, in cases where normal access is interrupted. However satellite uplinks are expensive, and the available bandwidth is limited. Voice trunking compression can greatly reduce the amount of bandwidth required for voice transmission, thereby lowering pressure on the network while keeping critical lines of communication open.
RAD’s Vmux-2100 provides a voice compression ratio of up to 16:1, while maintaining high voice quality and supporting all PBX features and national signaling protocols. The Vmux is available with IP, E1/T1 or n x 64 kbps serial network ports, allowing connection to satellite modems with both Ethernet/IP as well as TDM-based data interfaces. Together, these features enable enterprises, mobile operators and service providers to use less bandwidth for transporting their voice payloads over different types of satellite links.
