Additionally, Cisco's multiservice access routers, in combination with Cisco's H.323 Gatekeeper, allow customers to build very large VoIP networks. Cisco's VoFR solutions continue to offer additional capabilities based on the common Cisco IOS software framework. All of these products are interoperating with standards-based Frame Relay Forum solutions, including FRF.11 and FRF.12. A new set of comprehensive features enables service providers the use of Cisco multiservice access routers when deploying VoIP services. The multiservice access routers like the Cisco 2600 Series and 3600 Series interwork with the often-deployed Cisco 5300 VoIP Gateway making an ideal solution for the service provider rolling out VoIP managed services.
Service providers can now utilize the best of both worlds in a cost-effective, scalable environment.
The new software features are enabled in current versions of Cisco IOS software. Cisco is offering a program for customers to trade-in their existing Cisco 2500 routers for one of the new multiservice products.
