The product enables connectivity to existing facilities and IP networks, enabling SMEs in these developing countries to transition to IP applications at lowest cost.

Customer background analysis and challenges:

In many developing countries, telecommunication facilities are lagging behind. Due to cost and efficiency issues, more and more operators like AirTel, BSNL and Tata India want to create new value for small and medium-sized enterprises. In the past decade, more businesses SMB enterprises have been rapidly IP-enabled in order to reduce the cost of using facilities and expand their business scope. Unlike many developed countries, SMB enterprises in these developing countries do not have the resources to fully adjust to IP networks. The main reason is that their existing infrastructure is still new and has some financial value, and their terminal equipment can still work normally, because these facilities and equipment have not been so long used, although this type of infrastructure has long been defined as the old and replaceable facilities in developed countries in Europe and the United States for a long time. Therefore, these SMB enterprises in developing countries must apply their existing investments and facilities into new generation IP-based applications. In this process, they need find appropriate partners with technical capabilities to help operators' SME users achieve IP-based at the lowest cost. Simply speaking, they need to find solutions to help them achieve the following goals and address their main pain points and challenges:

1) It must be able to easily switch services to IP networks, so that their legacy TDM PBX and converged communications can implement IP functions, enhance application categories, and reduce usage costs;

2) Because their infrastructure has a short history and still has a lot of usage value, such as their terminal endpoints and expensive switches, they must continue to use these critical equipment;

3) Many SMBs has invested much to use digital networks, such as E1 lines, which usually have some special signaling and protocols that need to be localized;

4) They must be helped to achieve the above requirements at the lowest cost and in the shortest time;
