Key Benefits of the REDCOM SLICE 2100 system:

• SIP-based VoIP capabilities
• Up to 2,000 SIP subscribers per unit
• SIP Trunking
• Integrated Call Controller & Media Gateway
• Multiple codec standards for compression
• Extensive Conferencing (VoIP, TDM and Radio)
• Modem over IP (V.150.1) & Fax over IP (T.38)
• Adaptable to multiple T1/E1 Trunks

• Radio Circuits & G/LSRD Interoperability

Reduce OpEx and increase revenue

REDCOM’s SLICE 2100 allows service providers to deploy flexible networks that can adapt to increasing end-user demands and competitive industry dynamics at a lower operating cost. The SLICE 2100 is a low-cost entry-level solution that enables you to start out slow with a phased approach to IP when it makes sense for your business, and not as a wholesale replacement. The SLICE 2100 is an ideal way to add IP lines and trunks to an existing legacy swtiching platform, facilitating easy migration to VoIP at the most opportune time, while having extensive capabilities that allow service providers to retain legacy equipment. SLICE 2100 also allows you to compete by offering remote subscriber access. You can also add new revenue with IP and TDM Centrex services.

Protect your infrastructure investments

You’ve made a significant investment in your network and SLICE 2100 helps you maximize your existing assets. SLICE 2100 maintains connectivity with voice mail, GSM, operator services platforms, and satellite networks. Its TDM interfaces preserve your customers’ legacy equipment (including modem, fax, and Point of Sale terminals). To help you reduce operating costs, SLICE 2100 offers custom-configurable SIP trunking, and multiple E1/T1 trunks per unit. As you grow your business, SIP trunking allows you to scale your network faster and more cost-effectively than traditional phone lines.

Remote Access Interoperability

REDCOM’s SLICE 2100 is Interoperable with a wide range of remote access solutions including GR-303, V5.2, and Broadband Loop Carrier (BLC).  The SLICE 2100 handles one interface group with multiple remotes. Connecting to a BLC, the SLICE 2100 offers interoperability to advanced technologies, remote operation capability and efficient network management.

Retain customers with built-in IP compression

SLICE 2100’s full range of capabilities allows you to address your customers’ needs while you counter low-cost competition. Flexible compression methods help you manage low-revenue subscribers by reducing bandwidth usage, while retaining high-end subscribers with high bandwidth and premium services.

A softswitch designed with the future in mind

REDCOM’s SLICE 2100 allows service providers to future proof their networks to interoperate today, respecting the past and anticipating the future with a wide range of protocols and interfaces, including IPV4 and IPv6. Offering industry-standard SIP functionality, SLICE 2100 with TRANSip is compatible with standards-based SIP phones, so you don’t have to worry about being trapped by proprietary VoIP phones or protocols.

Virtually unlimited SIP trunking

SIP trunking using REDCOM’s TRANSip® technology suite with a REDCOM SLICE 2100 Carrier Class 4/5 softswitch is a powerful way to build your business. SIP trunking is a secure, cost-effective way for service providers to leverage their IP network to provide voice service.SIP trunks deliver a significant return on investment and TRANSip-equipped SLICE 2100 softswitches have extensive SIP trunking capabilities to ensure that your switching resources fit your business model for current and future growth.

SIP Trunking Made Easy

To get started with SIP trunking, all that is required is a TRANSip-equipped SLICE 2100 softswitch — which includes a SIP Call Manager — and an IP network, and you will be on your way to implementing robust SIP trunking capabilities. SIP trunks are used to connect two switches together. As long as each switch has an IP address, communication can be made from one point to the other. With proper network assessment planning and implementation, SIP trunks can deliver high quality and reliable service with substantial cost savings.

Benefits of SIP Trunking for Telecom Service Providers

• Higher margins due to reduced install/configuration time
• Simplification of value-added services
• Powerful bandwidth control/savings
• Expansion into additional markets
• Support for wide variety of codecs
• More services delivered over the same pipe

Interchangeable plug-in modules

The basic SLICE 2100 has two T1/E1 digital spans, two RS-232 ports, two 10/100 BaseT Ethernet ports, two PCMCIA slots for updates and database backup and one hot-swappable cooling module. It also has two rear-accessible positions for your choice of interface modules. These modules allow service providers to configure each SLICE 2100 to meet their specific needs.
