The Mediant™ 600 is AudioCodes’ cost-effective, wireline VoIP media gateway. The Mediant 600 is designed to interface between TDM & IP networks in enterprises, matching the density requirements for small locations. Incorporating AudioCodes’ innovative Voice over IP technology, the Mediant 600 enables rapid time-to-market and reliable cost-effective deployment of next-generation networks. The Mediant 600 is based on VoIPerfectTM, AudioCodes underlying, best-of-breed, media gateway core technology, providing superior voice technology for smooth connectivity of legacy telephones and PBX systems to IP networks and IP-PBX systems to the PSTN. The Mediant 600 is fully interoperable with IP-PBXs, IP Centrex application servers, Softswitches, gateways, IP Phones, and Session Border Controllers. The Mediant 600 Gateway supports 1 or 2 E1/T1/J1 spans, 4 to 8 BRI ports, or 4 FXS analog ports

The enhanced hardware and software capabilities of the Mediant 600 provide easy installation and continuous maintenance of voice quality. If the measured voice quality falls beneath a preconfigured threshold, or if the path to a destination is disconnected, the Mediant 600 assures voice connectivity by falling back to the PSTN. In the event of network problems, calls can be routed back to the PSTN without requiring routing modifications in the PBX.

Customers who connect to centralized IP Centrex services, as well as branch offices of enterprises, using a centralized IP-PBX server, may face a survivability challenge. Stand Alone Survivability (SAS), supported in the Mediant 600, uses SIP B2BUA (Back to Back User Agent) functionality. It provides backup for SIP clients, such as IP and Soft Phones, in case connectivity with the centralized SIP server is lost.

The Mediant 600 is part of AudioCodes’ family of stand-alone VoIP Gateways and supports multiple VoIP control protocols which have been tested with leading vendors of Softswitches, gateways, IP phones, and Session Border Controllers. Through years of interoperability experience and extensive investment in complying with leading and evolving VoIP standards, AudioCodes offers field-proven products with short time-to-market for OEMs, System Integrators and Network Equipment Providers.
