The Cisco AS5850 Universal Gateway is a high-density universal gateway, with carrier-class attributes, offering the highest capacity in its class. This gateway is designed to meet the demands of large service providers, supporting at least 2688 universal ports, using Channelized T3s (CT3s), T1s, E1s, or STM-1 trunk interface of data, voice, and fax services on any port at any time. It offers high-availability features such as hot-swap on all cards, load-sharing and redundant hot-swappable power supplies, redundant fans and fan banks, redundant enhanced route switch controller (eRSC) cards, and Call Admission Control (CAC). The system is flexible enough to be configured either in Router Processor Redundancy plus (warm stand-by) mode or load-sharing mode.
The Cisco AS5850 Universal Gateway supports a wide range of IP-based value-added services such as high-volume Internet access, corporate Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), long distance for Internet service providers (ISPs), international wholesale long distance, distributed prepaid calling, Signaling System 7 (SS7) interconnect, and managed voice services such as hosted IP telephony, managed IP-PBX, multiservice VPNs, and IP contact centers.
Using the rich set of Cisco IOS software features and SS7 interconnections, service providers can quickly provision their network for new services to meet the rapidly changing demands of the communications provider marketplace.
As a highly flexible voice gateway, the Cisco AS5850 Universal Gateway supports any coder-decoder (codec) at 100 percent capacity, simplifying network engineering. An open programmable architecture streamlines rapid voice service creation with H.323, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), or Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP).
