Networking Hardware
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch® Stackable Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet LAN value switch family offers versatile, 24/48-port fix ed configuration switches with 10 GigE uplinks and provides upgrade paths for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) stacking, 10 GigE uplinks, and metro Ethernet services.
Promoting a design optimized for flexibility, scalability, and low power consumption, the OmniSwitch is an outstanding edge solution. It uses the fix ld-proven Alcatel-Lucent Operating System (AOS) to deliver highly available, secure, self-protective, easily managed and eco-friendly networks.
The OmniSwitch family is embedded with the latest technology innovations and offers maximum investment protection.
The following types of deployments benefit from the OmniSwitch family:
• Edge of small-to-mid-sized networks
• Branch office enterprise and campus workgroups
• Residential and commercially managed service applications
• Service provider network deployments

EdgeMarc 2900e and 2900a POE
Deploying voice communications over the Internet can create quality and security issues that do not normally exist with traditional phone systems. To overcome these issues, Intelligent Edges are deployed on the customer network edge to ensure successful VoIP implementations. VoIP service providers deploy an Intelligent Edge in the form of an enterprise session border controller (ESBC) to improve voice quality and visibility into the customer environment, supporting both SIP trunking and hosted unified communications.
Edgewater Networks’ EdgeMarc 2900e and 2900a Power over Ethernet (POE) Intelligent Edge devices are ideally suited for Hosted PBX applications that require POE functionality to power IP endpoints. This solution enables service providers to easily support locations with less than 12 phones with a single device (larger implementations can utilize external POE switches).
EdgeMarc Intelligent Edges scale according to user demands, allowing service providers to deliver high quality VoIP solutions to customers of all sizes and network configurations.
