The Quintum® Tenor® DX Multi Path Switch offers enterprises an easy, cost-effective way to capitalize on the power of Voice over IP (VoIP). The Tenor integrates a gateway, a gatekeeper, intelligent call routing, and supports H.323 or SIP, and QoS all in one solution.

Enterprises can benefit from a variety of valuable applications such as PBX extension, remote office connectivity, long distance consolidation and call centers. Product scales from a fractional T1/E1, with 8 simultaneous VoIP channels up to a full 8 span Multi Path switch supporting 120 simultaneous VoIP calls.

Patented SelectNet™ Technology assures high-quality voice
The Tenor employs its patented SelectNet™ Technology to monitor calls for jitter, packet loss, and latency, and can transparently switch mid-call to the voice network whenever conditions demand.

More intelligence means greater flexibility
With its Multi Path Call Routing, the Tenor can intelligently route calls between the PBX, the PSTN, and the IP network to achieve the best combination of cost and quality. The Tenor can also route calls over IP to reduce costs, and then transparently "hop off" to the PSTN, to reach off-net locations. No other VoIP solution can match this flexibility.

More intelligence means easier installation
With its Multi Path architecture, the Tenor is the only VoIP solution that can be installed without upgrades to the existing voice or data networks. Tenor connects to the data network through a 10/100 Ethernet interface, and to the enterprise and public voice network through a T1, E1, or PRI interface.

More intelligence means greater reliability
The Tenor is designed to pass calls through to the existing voice network in the event of system malfunction – even a total power failure.

More intelligence means less network congestion
With its PacketSaver™* Technology, the Tenor reduces bandwidth consumption up to 57%, by combining voice packets from several calls into a single packet to minimize bandwidth requirements.

More intelligence means better management
The Tenor comes with a set of easy-to-use configuration and management tools, including Tenor Configuration Manager (GUI) and Wizard, and the Tenor Monitor that offers real time monitoring of alarms, call status and CDR's. Tenors can easily be remotely managed behind NAT firewall's utilizing the Tenor Remote Management Session Server.*
