TollBridge Announces Support for T1 CAS Protocol; TollBridge Voice Gateway Supports the Hugely Popular T1 CAS Protocol to Connect to Class 4/5 Telephone Switches.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 30, 2000 TollBridge Technologies, the leading developer of high quality voice-over-broadband solutions for a new generation of carriers, today announced that it's flagship Voice Gateway, the TB200, now supports the T1 CAS protocol to connect to central office (CO) Class 4/5 digital switches. The TB200 behaves like a Remote Digital Terminal In telecommunications, a Remote Digital Terminal (RDT) typically accepts E1, T1 or OC-3 digital lines to communicate with a telephone Access network (AN) or telephone exchange (LDS) on one side, and forms a Local Exchange (LE) on the other, which is connected to Plain Old Telephone (RDT RDT 1. Renal dialysis treatment 2. Retinal damage threshold ) that uses the T1 CAS protocol to communicate with the switch. The customer has the choice to connect to the switch via GR-303 or T1 CAS, within the same TB200. Given the large T1 CAS deployment in legacy switches, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets, this rounds out the domestic switch protocols supported by TollBridge. TollBridge's implementation follows the requirements set forth in Telcordia's technical reference TR-TSY-000008 (T1 CAS) to provide high speed, high quality digital voice signals from two-wire loops to the central office (CO) digital switch. "Support for T1 CAS allows our ISP (1) See in-system programmable. (2) (Internet Service Provider) An organization that provides access to the Internet. Connection to the user is provided via dial-up, ISDN, cable, DSL and T1/T3 lines. customers, who may not have access to GR-303 circuits, to offer voice services using T1 CAS circuits that are plentiful and easy to obtain from their partner local exchange carriers (LECs)," said Agnes Imregh, TollBridge's vice president of marketing. "This addresses the burgeoning demand from ISP's to offer additional profitable services like voice to increase customer loyalty and enhance revenues. In addition, it allows our Inter- TollBridge T1 CAS Support Xchange Carrier (IXC (1) (IntereXchange Carrier) An organization that provides interstate (long distance) communications services within the U.S., which includes AT&T, MCI, Sprint and more than 700 others.
