Overview
EdgeMarc 5300LF
The EdgeMarc 5300LF converged networking router is an intelligent, all-in-one networking
solution for enterprises and service providers. It reduces costs by simplifying the deployment,
management and security of converged voice, video and data networks. The EdgeMarc
5300LF provides the following important functions for converged networks:
•Security
A stateful packet inspection firewall is used in combination with a voice over IP (VoIP)
application layer gateway to provide comprehensive “media-aware” security. The 5300LF
also supports IPSec for secure site-to-site networking.
•VoIP
The 5300LF resolves NAT/FW traversal problems for SIP, MGCP and H.323 traffic. It
allows a single public IP address to be used for multiple VoIP clients. VoIP survivability is
also provided so that local SIP PSTN gateways are available for inbound and outbound
calling during WAN link failures.
•Quality of Service
The 5300LF maximizes WAN link utilization while optimizing voice quality using
prioritization and shaping.
•Call Quality Monitoring
The 5300LF provides passive call quality monitoring statistics for each VoIP call to enforce
SLAs and resolve networking problems that negatively affect call quality.
•Future-proof Scalability
The 5300LF is a powerful, flexible platform that can be deployed initially as a low-cost
WAN access router and then licensed through software for more advanced VoIP features
and increased call performance. It is the ideal platform for service providers offering DIA,
hosted VoIP and managed security services or enterprises migrating to converged voice
and data networks.
