    Converged Communications
  • Network Monitoring & Deep Packet Inspection
    One of our longstanding Industrial PC and CompactPCI customers was looking for a smaller-footprint, modular architecture for their next generation of deep packet inspection (DPI) equipment. Typically, DPI identifies individual streams of traffic on a per-user and per-application basis, allowing policy enforcement of quality of service (QOS) and security as well as service quality logging. DPI essentially provides visibility and control to service providers so they can see what is traversing their networks and take appropriate action.
  • Media Gateways
    With the growth in data network traffic driving major changes in public networks, the convergence of existing voice traffic onto the data network infrastructure promises significant benefits (such as reduced costs and simplified network management) for carriers and enterprises alike. Media gateways that support the integration of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), legacy public switched telephone network (PSTN), and ATM networks make this convergence possible.
  • Network Appliances
  • WiMAX Gateway Appliance
    As more users demand broadband access on the move, WiMAX technology (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) shows great potential for service providers to deliver cost-effective broadband access over a wide geographic area. It often serves as a substitute for DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) to extend Internet services to rural areas, or as a WiFi hotspot backhaul which is less expensive than wired public networks.
  • Network Security / Server
  • Unified Threat Management: All-in-one
    Unified Threat Management (UTM) is a term introduced in 2004, to describe a network appliance that has many security features built into a single box. It aims to provide an integrated and comprehensive solution rather than the limited “point solution” that a traditional firewall offers. However, there is a trade off between security and connectivity. As all security functions demand a lot of system resources, they inevitably reduce throughput, which is not desirable for real-time network management. Therefore, the ideal UTM solution must provide all-round protection without undermining the performance of network traffic. For this application, hardware acceleration delivers the greatest network performance improvement.
  • SIP Enabled Firewall
    Real-time communications have become an essential requirement for most enterprises. Whether it is through VOIP, multimedia conferences or instant-messaging, individuals and businesses can enjoy instant communications to save time and money. Generally, almost all instant communication connections are controlled by the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), that initiates, modifies and terminates sessions between the participants. However, conventional network firewalls do not recognize SIP media, and whenever the firewall must relay SIP media packets for inspection, delays are caused during real-time communications. To speed up the inspection process, some firewalls create an automatic bypass for media packets, which creates a potential loophole for security threats.
  • Firewall/Intrusion Prevention System: Firewall, IPS, VPN, User Policy
    Solution providers in the Network Security field are always looking for new and innovative hardware solutions that can fulfill diverse firewall solutions. Customers need different hardware platforms to fulfill their needs depending on the market segment, business size, network environment and physical environment. Advantech can provide copper or fiber LAN interfaces, a range of computing power in a selection of form factors from rackmountable 1U or 2U platforms to compact tabletop designs. Solution providers are searching for a modular and scalable platform that is able to fulfill complex demands while simplifying product and stock management.

  • VoIP
  • Media Gateways
    With the growth in data network traffic driving major changes in public networks, the convergence of existing voice traffic onto the data network infrastructure promises significant benefits (such as reduced costs and simplified network management) for carriers and enterprises alike. Media gateways that support the integration of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), legacy public switched telephone network (PSTN), and ATM networks make this convergence possible. A Media Gateway acts as a translation unit between disparate telecommunications networks and enables multimedia communications via multiple transport protocols. Because a Media Gateway connects different types of networks, one of its main functions is to convert between the different transmission and coding techniques. Communication is achieved by means of protocols such as MGCP, Megaco, H.248 and SIP. VoIP Media Gateways perform the conversion between Time Division Multiplex (TDM) voice to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP).
  • Wireless
  • Satellite Communications
    Today, there are hundreds of commercial satellites in operation around the world. These satellites are used for diverse applications such as wide-area network communications, weather forecasting, television broadcasting, amateur radio communications, Internet access and the Global Positioning Systems (GPS).

White Papers
This paper looks at how MicroTCA can be cost-optimized to fit various communications platform solutions ranging from converged IP-PBX’s in enterprise networks to infrastructure elements in cellular networks. Often for competitive positioning reasons, many current solutions are based on purpose-built platforms of proprietary design. This often translates to trade-offs on scalability and redundancy in order to meet stringent cost targets.
