Covergence and Linksys®, a division of Cisco Systems, Inc., have teamed together to create solutions that allow service providers to deliver VoIP services with quality, reliability and security that is as good or better than the PSTN service.

Security

The combined solution enables providers to now offer fully encrypted, validated and authenticated subscriber connections using the IETF standards, Transport Layer Security (TLS) for signaling information and its counterpart the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) for voice and video traffic. The combined solution:

• Prevents service theft.
• Mitigates intrusions and unauthorized access.
• Prevents attacks aimed at disrupting or disabling the service.
• Protects users from eavesdropping and other attacks that threaten their confidentiality and the integrity of their sessions.
• Enforces uniform security policy across all your SIP services.
• Immediately notifies of any out-of-band activity.
• Dynamically controls out-of-band activity (e.g. terminate call).

Secure Residential Service

Terminal Adapters

The Linksys SPA2102 and SPA3102 terminal adapters connect a standard telephone or fax machine to IP-based data networks. Inexpensive, easy to install and simple-to-use, the SPA2102 and SPA3102 are geared towards residential and business users.




The combination of Eclipse with the SPA terminal adapters is ideal for completely securing VoIP communications from residential users, home office users and small branch offices.

Secure Business Service

Secure IP Handsets


The SPA922, SPA942, SPA962 are IP telephones that connect directly to an Internet Telephone Service Provider or IP PBX. Stylish and functional in design, these handsets are ideal for a residence or business using a hosted IP telephony service, an IP PBX, or a large scale IP Centrex deployment.

 

The combination of Eclipse with the SPA922, 942 or 962 creates an ideal solution for securing, controlling and management VoIP service to small businesses.

Secure IP PBX

The SPA9000 marries the rich feature set of high-end PBX telephone systems with the convenience and cost advantages of Voice over IP. It has common voice system features such as an auto-attendant, shared line appearances, three-way call conferencing, intercom, music on hold, call-forwarding and much more.




When combined with Eclipse, the provider is now able to deliver "business-grade" VoIP service between the customers premises and the services.
