Engage Communication IP Tube:
Transport legacy E1 and Serial data over IP

About Engage Communication

Engage Communication, incorporated in 1989, enables multi-site enterprises, small-medium businesses, government, education and telecommunications service providers to take advantage of the lower costs and flexibility associated with IP/Ethernet transport while preserving the enormous investments made in legacy premises equipment such as PBXs, switches, multiplexors, routers, video codecs, encryptors, ....

The IP Tube product: the Industry-Best Lossless Data Compression

IP Tube E1 encapsulates full and fractional E1 and TDM circuits, along with their framing & signaling bits into IP packets. IP Tube's E1 Over IP, E1 Over Ethernet connection provides for the transparent interconnection of PBXs, Telecom Switches and E1 based communication systems via LANs, WANs, MANs, Satellite and Wireless Ethernet.

E1 and E3 Circuit Extension Over IP for voice and data:
- ROI measured in a couple of weeks
- Exploits efficiency of IP/Ethernet
- Supports legacy switches and PBX
- Up to four individual E1 lines
- Easy to configure

IP Tube RS530 encapsulates encrypted and non-encrypted synchronous data into IP packets. Typical applications:
- Secure LAN to LAN interconnect
- Secure Video TeleConferencing
- Field Command Centers
- Secure Wireless Bridge connections
- SIPRNet or NIPRNet access

Features and benefits

Up to four E1 interfaces or a single high or low speed seral interface

Dual 10/100 BaseT Ethernet for protection, load balacing or sparated management access

Standalone and rack mountable versions

Individually controlled E1 interfaces with settings for:
- Protocol (IPTube, CESoIP, and HDLCoIP are supported)
- Compression
- Packet sizing
- Buffering
- Clocking
- Framing
- Coding

Assured Delivery Protocol
- Reliable delivery of IPTube packets in an unreliable network environment
- Re-sequence packets delivered out of order
- Detect and retransmit missing packets.

Link Protector
- Backup E1 leased lines with E1-Over-IP
- Automatic protection switch for E1 local loop

Far-End Echo Cancellation
- Echo-Free telephony in high latency networks

High Throughput Type 1 Encrypted Data Over IP
- Synchronous Serial over IP at data rates up to 16 Mbps
- Leverage serial link encryptors such as KIV-7, KIV-19, OMNI and KG-84

Lossless Data Compression
- Idle/redundant data detection within each E1 Voice circuit
- Up to 56 to 1 bandwidth saving

Alternator Load Balancing
- Alternatively send the IP packetized E1 frames on LAN 1 and LAN 2
- Split fractional and full E1 circuits over two IP WAN connections such as xDSL
- Combine with Lossless Data Compression option to minimize bandwidth

The cost of interconnecting E1 communication systems across packetized xDSL is a fraction of long distance leased E1 circuit costs. Using the IP Tube guarantees optimal quality for voice and data applications.
