The PacketBand TDM units are designed to allow other types of traffic, including legacy synchronous systems, to make a simple migration to IP whilst retaining the proven installed DTE equipment and applications, but benefiting from an IP-based architecture.
Typical examples of this kind of equipment would be TDMs, mobile phone BTS cells, wireless backhaul and legacy PABX networks migrating to IP. In fact most equipment with a T1/E1 full or fractional presentation, X.21 and V.35 devices or any unit that uses traditional leased lines.
Called Pseudowires, TDM over IP, PWE3, SAToP, or CESoIP (Circuit Emulation Services over IP), PacketBand delivers high-quality synchronous clocked services to all kinds of TDM over IP applications, including voice where quality maybe a critical factor.
PacketBand has a very accurate clock-recovery mechanism capable of delivering clocks within the G.823 mask, complimented by a robust system of recovery processes. Although competitively pricesd, the PacketBand range is a high-quality, high-reliability product designed for high service level applications
See the TDM Product Companrison page for a summary of products and key features.
See Clock option page identifying the main clock configuration options.

Unlike many other units, All PacketBands have Safety, EMC (Emissions and Immunity) and Telecoms Connectivity Approvals approvals for Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other territories. PacketBand is CE marked. All testing has been done by well-respected European Accredited Approvals laboratories.
All PacketBands are RoHS compliant (without the use of "exceptions").

The ISDN over IP models within the PacketBand range support dynamically switched clock-locked ISDN clear-channel calls across and through IP networks. Any ISDN device in the world can be accessed via PacketBand.
Clear-channel ISDN over IP at customer sites is a new service pioneered by Patapsco. It opens the way for dial-up data services, such as videoconferencing, secure phones, fax, modems, encryptors, codecs, batch transfer, backup etc, to take advantage of low-cost IP networks.
The difference between a VoIP unit and PacketBand-ISDN is PacketBand delivers non-compressed ISDN "B" channels and these are clock-locked to the remote ISDN network. This means any ISDN equipment can use the service and because everything is synchronised, ISDN devices on the Packet Network can "break-out" into the real ISDN network by using a PacketBand-ISDN as a "gateway", and they can also recieve calls.
See PacketBand ISDN Comparison chart for a product overview and key features
PacketBand can be a powerful tool to aid carriers who are "sun-setting" ISDN services. PacketBand can be supplied as an alternative delivery of ISDN over packet networks, yet still have all of the characteristics of the traditional exchange-delivered service.
The number of applications for ISDN over IP are many, some are covered in detail on our ISDN over IP applications pages.

Telos customer comment " ......using this technology codecs in the IP world could "call" other IP codecs or they could place calls to ISDN codecs. For a large company with a WAN with QoS this could result in some big savings since on net access would be "free" and off net access could be aggregated to save on ISDN costs. Pretty slick, eh?"
