Product Introduction
1.1 Product Introduction
Zed-3 GS8 is a Modular Gateway which has prefect performance, rich interfaces, and interface
cards plug capacity. GS8 supports GSM/CDMA, SIP, FXO interface, so it can be connected with
GSM/CDMA, VoIP and PSTN networks, allows calls to freely transfer between these interfaces.
GS8 permits flexible call routing and call restriction settings to provide users calling strategy
based on their own requirements. The web-based management platform dramatically reduces
complication of users' operations.
GS8 are compatible with most SIP-based IP-PBX and traditional telephony system. When there
is no PBX, it can be deployed alone or in a group. At the same time, this product can be connected
to local PSTN network directly since it supports most countries and areas' telephone protocols.
Zed-3 sales GS8 and provides technical supports over the world.
