Cisco's Unified Communications gateways and services provide the foundation for anytime, anywhere collaboration to anyone. Take full advantage of the intelligence of the network to:

  • Broaden your choices. Unparalleled connectivity and interoperability help enable choice of equipment, service providers, and architecture. Cisco gateways support the vast majority of protocols, interfaces, and codecs to provide connectivity to more than 90 percent of the world's private branch exchanges (PBXs), service providers, and analog devices
  • Improve end-user quality. Provide a superior end-user experience through features such as background noise reduction, acoustic shock prevention, and echo cancellation. By helping to enable priority-based routing, Call Admission Control/Resource Reservation Protocol (CAC/RSVP), and media monitoring, Cisco gateways help deliver high-quality voice every time
  • Deploy more services. Accelerate time to deployment, lower maintenance costs, and provide proactive troubleshooting and network planning
  • Help enable your network's evolution. This multi-service integration on Cisco routers allows assets to be repurposed as your collaboration network needs change
  • Provide integrated security to protect against internal and external threats while maintaining high levels of network performance
