A more intelligent way to enter the VoIP market

The Quintum Tenor Carrier MultiPath Switch offers a two or an eight port chassis to give service providers, CLECs, ISPs and next-generation service providers an easy, cost-effective way to deliver low-cost, high-quality voice services over IP networks. The Tenor supports H.323 or SIP, intelligent call routing, and QoS all in one solution. Tenor CMS provides the functionality required to support applications such as:

Carrier class intelligence delivers a complete application solution.

Integrated VoIP and Circuit Switching: Complete VoIP/circuit switch intelligently switches calls between circuits (DS0s) and IP, between multiple circuits and between IP endpoints.
Enhanced Unified Communications Proxy (UCP) provides 'Any to Any' Signaling & Media Switching: SIP<->SIP, SIP <-> H.323, H.323 <-> H.323, TDM<->TDM, SIP<->TDM, and H.323 <-> TDM for easy integration with any network. Operators can configure unique transport layers for IP calls (UDP or TCP).
Advanced Call Routing Support: Quintum’s external VoIP Call Routing Server provides scalable, centralized network routing control and administration for larger networks. Provides enhanced network-wide routing flexibility including QoS routing, least cost routing, source based routing, and extensive network routing statistics/report generation.
Network Management Support: Quintum’s external Network Management Server helps lower maintenance costs through centralized provisioning, alarm monitoring, CDR collecting and real time call monitoring.
Enhanced Interactive Voice Response (IVR): Supports multiple user selectable languages and prompts.

PacketSaver™ intelligence minimizes network congestion.
PacketSaver™ Technology allows the Tenor to reduce bandwidth consumption up to 50%, by combining voice packets from several calls into a single packet to minimize bandwidth overhead.

NATAccess™ intelligence means greater security.
The Tenor VoIP MultiPath Switch also features a unique technology that allows it to operate behind NAT-enabled firewalls. The innovative NATAccess™ solution overcomes the problem of NAT firewalls not correctly translating internal IP addresses into public addresses when a VoIP call is established with an outside party.

Support for SS7/C7.
Tenor CMS is able to support SS7/C7 using an external signaling gateway*.

Tenor Call Relay™ acts as a Session Border Controller between IP networks allowing for end-to-end VoIP communications across multiple IP networks. All calls are switched through multiple IP networks with just one single compression and decompression of the voice. The result is less latency and higher voice quality as the call passes from network to network.

The Tenor Call Relay allows VoIP endpoints such as VoIP gateways, IP phones and IP soft phones which are behind a Network Address Translation (NAT) firewall, to communicate with VoIP endpoints on external IP networks. This allows both enterprises and service providers to expand their VoIP networks to home offices, branch offices, customers, partners, and across the public Internet.

A more intelligent way to optimize VoIP networks
The Quintum® Tenor VoIP Call Routing Server system software provides CLECs, ILECs, ISPs, and next generation service providers with scalable centralized network routing, policy enforcement, and administration. The VoIP Advanced Call Routing Server provides enhanced network-wide routing flexibility, including QoS-based routing, least-cost routing and sourcebased routing. The Tenor Call Routing Server will compile network routing statistics and generate network reports. The Tenor Call Routing Server offers a scalable solution designed to support demanding applications such as:

• Wholesale VoIP Termination
• Call Centers
• Least Cost Routing
• Tandem Switching
• VoIP SIP Trunking
• Calling Cards

Centralized Control
Scalable design allows for the management of mid to large size networks. Multiple Call Routing Servers may be distributed within the voice network for even greater capacity and redundancy. Routing modifications are immediately reflected throughout the entire voice network without the need for routing modifications on individual gateways.

QoS Monitoring and Routing
Monitors Quality of Service (QoS) metrics throughout the VoIP network. The Call Routing Server allows calls to be routed around portions of the network that are not supporting acceptable QoS characteristics, thereby assuring high quality voice for end users.

Flexible Routing
Source-based routing enables user-defined routing criteria to be applied, depending upon the subscriber or ingress point into the voice network. Routing criteria include Least Cost Routing, Route Quality, Best Pattern Match, Circuit Routing, Domain Priority, Answer Seizure Ratio (ASR), and Load Balancing. Routing criteria and prioritization is configurable for each ingress point into the voice network. Limits calls to routes or dialed numbers to better manage network endpoint loading.

Least Cost Routing
Connects incoming calls to available carriers at the lowest available cost, by routing calls between IP endpoints or between individual DS0 circuit trunks. Termination costs, time-of-day availability, and performance metrics such as ASR and Post Dial Delay (PDD) are maintained for each network termination.

Access Control
Controls access to the voice network by disallowing endpoints, providing control over unauthorized access to your network resources.

Carrier Management
Web-based graphical user interface allows rapid network routing and policy modifications throughout the voice network. Reporting capability provides network call routing statistics based upon either historical data or real-time activity. E-mail alerts are provided to inform the network administrator of network failures or suboptimal operating conditions.
