Verso VCLEAR™ BHG 2500
Universal Gateway
A cost-effective and highly reliable IP telephony gateway that combines high-density media gateway, SS7 signaling, and media server elements in a single reliable and scalable chassis
The VCLEAR™ BHG 2500 leverages Verso's extensive research and development in the BHG family of IP telephony and brings to market a new level of capacity and availability based on the latest technology for carrier-scale and reliable IP media processing. It includes VoIP gateway blades (SIP and H.323), media gateway blades (for converting between PSTN and converged packet networks), media server blades (for IP voice mail, unified messaging, and other applications), and SS7 blades for interconnecting with the legacy signaling network.
An investment with a superior return
The VCLEAR™ BHG 2500 is a scalable, affordable, and highly reliable universal gateway capable of delivering media gateway, SS7 signaling, and media server capabilities in a space saving chassis. When combined with the VCLEAR™ Class 4 Softswitch, VCLEAR™ Class 5 Softswitch, and VCLEAR™ Command Center, the BHG 2500 provides a cost-effective platform for building and expanding a robust IP telephony network that ensures a superior ROI.
Role in the PSTN Access Softswitch
The VCLEAR™ BHG 2500 serves as the scalable media and signaling gateway component of Verso's VCLEAR™ PSTN Access Softswitch solution. By providing media gateway and signaling functionality via blades, and by placing other functions such as call control, routing, and rating in separate network elements, the VCLEAR™ BHG 2500 offers greater scalability and availability for the network, which decreases the total cost of ownership.
Role in the Edge Access Softswitch
The VCLEAR™ BHG 2500 serves as a key component in the VCLEAR™ Edge Access Softswitch, as SIP and H.323 VoIP Gateway blades provide access to business phone and enhanced supplementary services for use in consumer and enterprise applications, while media server blades provide support for Verso's IP-based Voice Mail and Unified Messaging solutions.
Extraordinary flexibility
The VCLEAR™ BHG 2500 supports several types of blades, adding versatility to your deployment. Blades can be used in any combination to create a chassis tailored exactly to the functionality and capacity your network requires.
Excellent voice quality
VCLEAR™ BHG 2500 media gateway and media server blades provide crystal clear, toll-quality voice transmission through industry standard codecs, G.168 echo cancellation, and silence suppression with both comfort noise generation and voice activity detection.
Reliability
The VCLEAR™ BHG 2500 includes hot-swappable blades and redundant hotswappable power supplies. Each of the two power supplies on the chassis is capable of powering the entire chassis, so the VCLEAR™ BHG 2500 can continue to provide full service in the unlikely event of a power supply failure. The power supplies and blades can be replaced in an operational unit without interrupting network services provided by other components installed on the chassis.
Easy configuration and management
The VCLEAR™ BHG 2500 can be deployed, configured, and managed remotely. At a component level, the installed blades offer SNMP-based management using various industry standard SNMP MIBs (MIB-2, RTP, trunk), web-based configuration, management, and monitoring options.
