1.1 Product Description

Product Presentation

  • The 2N® OfficeRoute gateway provides a direct interconnection of VoIP, GSM and UMTS networks with the support of SIP and H.323 signalling protocols.
  • The voice mode, i.e. outgoing or incoming calls, is the basic function of the system. The gateway is equipped with all functions necessary for such use and provides a very high comfort in this mode.
  • The data mode, i.e. HSPA/EDGE/GPRS (for 2N® OfficeRoute) data router, gives a possibility to the device as a router, firewall and DNS proxy. It also has a DHCP server functionality. There is also a very unique feature – VRRP+ (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) so it can serve as a back–up route for your Internet connectivity.
  • In addition to voice transmission, 2N® OfficeRoute can send and receive short text messages (SMS). It gives you an option to integrate the SMS functionality into your email client (i.e. MS Outlook).
  • 2N® OfficeRoute contains a built–in SIP proxy server and can thus serve as an IP PBX for SIP telephones.
  • No extra equipment (an external GSM telephone, etc.) is needed for normal operation. All programmable parameters are default–preset in such a manner that you can commence your telephone traffic the moment you connect the Ethernet and supply the cables, antenna and SIM card and set the IP parameters.
  • There are three versions of 2N® OfficeRoute:
    • with UMTS and GSM modules ( see the current order numbers on www.2n.cz )
    • with GSM modules only ( 505604E and 505602E )
    • without UMTS/GSM modules (5056990E ) 

How to Save Telephone Costs

  • You are advised to use the most advantageous tariff of your GSM provider for your UMTS/GSM calls.
  • You can bar selected numbers or groups of numbers in your gateway. You shall pay nothing for the calls you have barred.
  • 2N® OfficeRoute keeps detailed records on all calls. This helps you find out easily why your bill is higher than it should be.
  • The Least Cost Router is flexible enough to help you set rules for GSM/UMTS/SIP/H.323 calling at the lowest possible operation costs.
