TELCOBRIDGES’ TB640-DS3 SYSTEM-BLADE™
So far ahead…
TelcoBridges’ innovative, ultra performing System-
Blade™ is in a class of its own. It allows telecom
system integrators to compete effectively by
offering a tailor-made solution at an extremely
affordable price.
The TelcoBridges’ system-on-a-blade™ product
line has the reliability, flexibility and superior
performance to replace any telecom system with a
single blade. In addition, the bridging of multiple
blades can easily increase a single system capacity
up to 48 DS-3 using our innovative TB Multi-
Blade™.
TelcoBridges’ unique TB640 System-Blade™ offers:
• Easy integration
• Dynamic configuration
• Non-blocking architecture
• Proven flexibility
• High availability
• Unmatched density
• Superior scalability
…it’s in a class of its own!
The TelcoBridges’ System-Blade™ with its non-blocking
architecture allows you to build new, and easily
upgrade existing telecommunication applications; to
meet today’s requirements for superior performance,
flexibility, reliability, scalability and density.
The TB640 System-Blade™ allows you to run multiple
and different signaling stacks and trunk types on the
same blade; it accommodates up to 3 DS-3 interfaces
on a single blade; plus it retains full capacity to
support IVR functions on all channels.
All elements, such as signaling variants and interfaces,
can be dynamically configured to create a highly
available system with unbelievable performance
capabilities.
The TB640 System-Blade™ can be easily coupled with:
a TB Multi-Blade™ for scalability; another TB640
System-Blade™ for unequalled redundancy and facility
protection; and a TB StreamServer™ for nearly
unlimited prompts and files play and record capability.
