2.10 Routing Server
The IP Routing Server enables the integrated access system to act as a gateway router to the
Internet via bundled service deployment or in private Intranet network deployment.
Specifically, the primary market for the IP Routing Server is Internet access via bundled
service arrangements (integrated access). The bundled service marketplace is simply the
provisioning of multiple services over a single T1 or E1 to a customer. Typical bundled service
arrangements include local voice service, long distance service and a data service. Internet
access is one of the possible data services. The potential market for this technology is quite
extensive. There are over 6.5 million small business in the US, and about 1.3 million of these
have 6 to 20 phone lines. These businesses are prime candidates for bundled service
arrangements. Carriers are aggressively targeting this market, as they strive to out position one
another with integrated business telecommunications solutions.
The integrated access system platform is unique in that it possesses many of the qualities listed
below in a flexible form factor. As equipment and technologies mature, there is a constant
requirement to consolidate communications equipment for many reasons, including:
•
lower capital costs
•
integrated management
•
ease of use and installation
•
remote connection efficiency
