Cisco IAD 2430 gateway/controller 10, 100 Mbit/s

The Cisco® IAD2430 is the next-generation integrated voice and data services platform for service providers, building on the industry-leading IAD2420. The Cisco IAD2430 offers a major leap forward in price performance and enhanced software functions, such as Cisco CallManager Express) and rich Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) gateway services, to cost-effectively accelerate the migration from time-division multiplexing (TDM) to voice over IP (VoIP). The Cisco IAD2430 builds on the maturity of the Cisco IAD2420 software by providing denser interfaces (up to 24FXS and up to 2 data T1s), an encryption co-processor, and DC battery backup input while maintaining a 1-rack-unit (RU) form factor for space-saving service provider managed services deployments.

The Cisco IAD2430 offers the best-in-class integration of data and toll-quality analog or digital voice services for a customer-premises solution. Designed to bridge the current and emerging multiservice needs of competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs), and interexchange carriers (IXCs), the Cisco IAD2430 operates in both Class 5 switch-access and Class 5 switch-bypass architectures. Robust data and rich voice services in an interoperable system architecture allow service providers to offer new revenue-generating services.

Powered by Cisco IOS ® Software, driven by a Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) processor and high-performance digital signal processors (DSPs), the Cisco IAD2430 supports VoIP, with proven quality-of-service (QoS) tools, multiple call-control protocols (such as Session Initiation Protocol [SIP], MGCP, and H.323), and diverse VoIP codecs. In addition to industry-leading voice features, the Cisco IAD2430 uses Cisco IOS Software for data features such as IP routing, on-board encryption co-processor (Triple Data Encryption Standard [3DES]), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Network Address Translation (NAT), and network security. The choice of high-density analog and digital voice interfaces over a wide range of broadband technologies furthers the appeal of the Cisco IAD2430 to a broad spectrum of service providers.

The Cisco IAD2430 builds on the Cisco IAD2420's patented Simple Network-enabled Auto Provisioning (SNAP) technology, a next-generation auto-installation mechanism designed for faster service turn-up, configuration, and remote updates. When used with Cisco Configuration Express, service providers can order, preconfigure, and ship the Cisco IAD2430 directly to end customers, reducing the costs of warehousing, shipping, and manual intervention.
