T1/E1-over-IP Gateway Features Extremely Low Latency

Featuring extremely low latency, the new Model TC3845-1 T1/E1-over-IP-Gateway from TC Communications, the industry leader in Fiber Optic Connectivity Technology, brings another level of flexibility to IP network connectivity. It transmits 4 channels of T1/E1, or any combination, over Layer 2/3 networks in point-to-point or multi-point applications.

Compact and simple to configure, the TC3845 achieves absolute minimal latency (end-to-end processing delay) by using high-performance buffering and forwarding technology.

Key features include Traffic Monitoring and Statistics, Network Time Server (NTS), Remote Firmware Upgrade, and Temperature Monitoring. Typical applications include using existing IP networks to extend T1/E1 links between PBX’s, connect video conferencing systems, or link Cell Towers to Central Offices over IP networks.

Each T1/E1 channel is independent and transparent to protocols and signaling that run over T1/E1. All applicable standards and line codes are supported. For proper functionality, each T1 and E1 channel utilizes 6Mbps and 8Mbps of bandwidth, respectively.

Setup, diagnostics, and management are accessed via Web, SNMP, Serial Console, and Telnet. Diagnostics include LED indicators and local and remote loopback to assist with troubleshooting and maintenance.

The TC3845S offers Rate Limiting on bandwidth utilization and supports QoS for packet prioritization. Power redundancy is standard. An extreme temperature version is available (-40°C to +80°C).
