The CopperCom Gateway is the industry's only gateway designed to keep all calls secure in the event of single or multiple hardware and software failures. Designed from the ground-up to be 99.999% reliable, the NEBs-compliant Gateway includes a dual-redundant packet bus architecture, full card and full feature redundancy.

It is ready to take over immediately if the primary unit fails. A hot standby may refer to a complete computer system; for example, a standby server, or a component in a computer such as a packet bus. In the event of a bus failure, all cards automatically fail-over to the backup bus. Each Gateway houses an operable operable /op·er·a·ble/ (op´er-ah-b'l) subject to being operated upon with a reasonable degree of safety; appropriate for surgical removal. op·er·a·ble adj. and hot standby ATM and GSC GSC gas-solid chromatography. card to ensure full redundant backup of packet interface and system control. Additionally, a single T1 resides in hot standby mode to the 11 active T1 cards, to ensure full feature and call redundancy.
