Description

• Robust voice quality

  Cisco experience in providing toll quality packet voice service helps ensure that the Cisco VG 202 provide the clear, robust voice quality end users have come to expect from telephony services.

• Investment protection

  Customers can continue to use existing analog phones, fax machines, and modems while taking advantage of IP telephony. Basic analog phone connectivity is needed when the infrastructure (wiring) or application does not support or require IP phones. The Cisco VG 202 is an ideal platform to support sparsely concentrated, distributed analog phone deployments, allowing organizations to deploy IP telephony without having to purchase IP phones for all users and to continue using existing devices.

• High availability

  Customers will experience less voice downtime due to WAN link failure. Cisco VG 202 has built-in Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) failover to an H.323 connection to a Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) router. This failover will maintain voice service for analog endpoints in the event of WAN link failure and lost connectivity to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

• Reduced barrier to entry

  This analog voice gateway provides a low-cost alternative for low-end analog phones and allows organizations to take advantage of IP telephony with a lower overall IP telephony investment.
