WANPIPE

The WANPIPE Voice/WAN Routing/API solution is comprised of:

1. Sangoma AFT or S series intelligent multi-protocol
   Voice/WAN T1/E1/ADSL adapters or cards.
2. Kernel device drivers  (Linux/BSD/Windows)
   
3. Suite of configuration, operation and debugging utilities.

Voice/Telephony Solutions (Asterisk) 

Our WANPIPE® solution for telephony is 100% compatible with Asterisk, FreeSwitch, Yate and other Soft PBX.  It offers enhanced features such as hardware echo cancellation and hardware HDLC for DCHAN channels. We also offer scalable, distributed, enterprise level SS7 Asterisk solution using Asterisk and FreeSwitch.  For customers looking to develop custom voice applications, Sangoma offers a uniform, versitile Voice TDM API that can be used to develop custom Voice application over all Sangoma Hardware adaptors.

WAN Routing Solutions

With reference to the Open System Interconnection (OSI) protocol framework, the Sangoma “S” adapters along with the WANPIPE device drivers provide a physical and WAN data link layer to the Linux Kernel IP Routing Stack. The Linux IP Stack, using its powerful internal routing table, routes packets to and from the WANPIPE drivers. The full power of Linux stacks and applications are engaged overWANPIPE.

WANPIPE S-series adapters support data transfer rates up to 8Mbps. By adding a Sangoma WAN/ADSL component to the proven reliability of the Linux kernel, a powerful multi-T1/E1/ADSL router/firewall is created.

Sangoma AFT and S-series cards supportl on-board T1/E1/T3 CSU/DSU. In other words, a T1/E1/T3 line can be connected directly to the card eliminating all external components found in a traditional routing solution.

The following WAN protocols are supported: ATM, Frame Relay, PPP, MULTILINK PPP and CHDLC.

API Solutions

WANPIPE supports a full socket based API stack that can be used to develop custom applications over WAN protocols.

Sangoma API protocols include: X25(API), Frame Relay (API), HDLC (API), BitStreaming (API), BiSync (API), SDLC (API) and SS7 (API).

Using the WAN API suite, a vast range of applications can be developed, such as:
Credit card verification, Voice-over IP, Protocol/Line Data Scope, Satellite Comm and Legacy interconnect.
