Cisco AS5350 Gateways

The Cisco AS5350 Universal Gateway is a one-rack-unit (1RU) gateway supporting 2-, 4-, or 8-port T1/7-port E1 configurations that provides universal port data, voice, and fax services on any port at any time. The Cisco AS5350 Universal Gateway offers high performance and high reliability in a compact, modular design. This cost-effective platform is ideally suited for Internet service providers (ISPs) and enterprise companies that require innovative universal services.

Cisco Any Service, Any Port The economic environment is prompting service providers to generate revenues quickly, improve returns from capital investments, and adapt to changing demands for various services in the market place. Cisco Any Service, Any Port (ASAP)—the architecture for rapid deployment of concurrent services on Cisco AS5000 universal gateways—allows service providers to meet these challenges. Cisco ASAP enables faster service introduction using a common platform for quick return on investment (ROI). Service providers can generate new revenue streams from multiple voice and data services such as long-distance voice over IP (VoIP), managed IP telephony, VPNs, and dial-up Internet.

Features of the AS5350 make it ideal for many network deployment architectures:

• High density to handle increased traffic
• Low power consumption to reduce cost
• High-density packet voice/fax digital signal processor (DSP) to provide greater price/performance, higher density, and expanded codec and feature support for intelligent packet voice services
• Universal port DSP feature cards to support remote access services in combination with voice and fax applications

Ideal for service providers and enterprises, the Cisco AS5350 Universal Gateway supports a wide range of applications, including:

• Voice over broadband termination
• Long distance
• Prepaid calling card
• Local access
• Hosted IP telephony
• Call center solutions
• ASP hosting and termination
• Unified communications
• VPN access
• Dialup access
• TDM switching

You can easily migrate from the AS5350 to the AS5350 to achieve improved performance. And because your current applications will run at a lower CPU utilization, you will be able to

• Increase SNMP monitoring or logging to improve network management
• Raise the performance of your VoiceXML, voicemail, and prepaid calling card services
