May 24, 2011 - TC Communications announces ’TC3848-3/4 4-channel Modem-over-IP (MoIP) Gateway that connects dial-up devices over Ethernet/IP or MPLS . Ideal for Utility and SCADA networks, the TC3848-3/4 MoIP Gateway links or extends a wide variety of legacy dial-up devices including data modems, fax machines, meters, etc. over IP/Ethernet or MPLS. Available as a standalone product or JumboSwitch interface card, the TC3848-3/4 is specifically designed to extend modem over IP connections because VoIP is designed for voice and usually doesn’t support data modems and dial-up devices.
Typical applications include connecting dial-up meters or data modems in Utility or SCADA networks, connecting older 2-wire analog phone stations to PSTN for outside telephone service, or connecting ATM or Credit Card Machines to a processing center. It can also be a critical connectivity product for completing migration from a legacy network to a fully integrated voice and data over Ethernet/IP network. The TC3848-3/4 is available in industrial hardened versions (-40°C to +80°C) and exceeds all pertinent industry and environmental standards including IEC 61850-3, IEEE 1613 & NEMA TS-2. The JumboSwitch Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Modular Switch integrates Ethernet, TDM, data, telephone, analog, T1/E1, T3/E3, dry contact and PDH-over-Ethernet interfaces on one redundant platform.
