TDMoIP Gateway solutions TDMoIP Gateway solutions for the Educational Marketfor the Educational Market
Education facilities ranging from schools and libraries to universities are facing exponentially increasing demand for bandwidth. In response to this demand there is increasingly a shift towards Ethernet and IP networks
TDMoIP Gateways complement the campus or Educational Metro Area Network (EMAN) by transporting legacy voice, video and data over Ethernet infrastructure.
This solution supports modems and faxes at full speed and H.320/H.324 video, ATM, Frame Relay and ISDN over IP.
Since the integrity of the T1/E1 circuit is fully maintained, the school doesn’t lose important features such as caller ID and enhanced 911 emergency services

Case Study: Elizabeth Forward School District – T1/Voice over Gigabit Ethernet Infrastructure
Goals: Simplify network by eliminating complex ATM infrastructure Increase bandwidth for video streaming, conferencing, surveillance
systems, LAN services and Internet access Reduce costs by eliminating the separate T1 lines (converging voice
traffic over data network)
Solution: Simplify network and increase bandwidth by replacing ATM with GbE Replace T1 links with T1/voice over IP solution
– initially considered upgrading PBXs to support VoIP, but this was very expensive and compromised features
– Selected RAD’s TDMoIP gateways for transparent circuit extension over IP

to manage
Lowest cost solution (TDMoIP cost 1/12th that of VoIP)
TDMoIP supports all existing PBX features
transparently
Simplified networking for teachers and students
Easily expandable to planned new district schools

Case Study: Elizabeth Forward School District – Voice over Gigabit Ethernet Infrastructure
“ The IPmux is very straight forward and provides T1 service quality across the board.”
“ Because our computer systems are now easier to use and more efficient, teachers are not as hesitant to integrate technology into their curriculum. Instead of focusing on how to keep the systems running, we can concentrate on the students while taking full advantage of technology to enhance their education.”
- Mary Beth Wiseman
Director of Technology

First Educational Metro Area Network running voice and data to over 50 sites using GbE Goals:
– High-speed filtered Internet– Shared data - such as library information – Voice and video conferencing between institutions – Replace expensive Centrex and Frame Relay lines
Eitan Schwartz Slide 16
Initially implemented VoIP but there were problems:
– Complex to install and maintain
– Voice quality was compromised by delay, echo, and compression
– PBX interface, feature transparency, etc. VoIP replaced with RAD’s TDMoIP gateway because:
– TDMoIP provides far superior voice quality with much simpler installation at < 30% of the VoIP prices
– Transparent support for all PBX features including V.90 modem, V.34 fax, 911 & * services

Campus Network with Video Conferencing
– GbE backbone connecting over 80 buildings
– Switched Fast Ethernet within buildings
– Video conferencing system with ISDN PRI links (H.320)
– T1 circuits statically provisioned between lecture halls for video conferencing
Case Study: University of South Florida
Eitan Schwartz Slide 20
Case Study: University of South Florida
Problem:
– Video conferencing between lecture halls required dedicated T1 circuit to be provisioned (to support PRI ISDN)
– Couldn’t easily get T1s to the building (without considerable expense)
– Lack of mobility to satisfy last minute moves and changes Solution:
– Create virtual T1 circuits between lecture halls using TDMoIP
– Achieves mobility – simply plug TDMoIP gateways into campus LAN for instantaneous T1 circuits between lecture halls

TDMoIP: Benefits for Educational MarketTDMoIP: Benefits for Educational Market
Protects investment in legacy equipment with LAN, TDM, T1/E1 and
T3/E3 interfaces (from PBXs to Video to Alarm systems)
Addresses educational concerns with simple evolutionary, rather
than revolution solutions for teachers and students
Migration path to IP without compromising current telephony features
(Supports all PBX features and signaling transparently)
Low cost deployment with quick installation – TDMoIP is simple to
install. It reduces costs and provisioning times
Enables expansion with scalable Ethernet-based solutions
Additional bandwidth when T1/E1 and T3/E3 is bundled onto
Ethernet, rather than vice versa.
