Q: What is a NetPerformer Data and Voice
Router?
A: The NetPerformer series of products allow modern IP networking
with the addition of legacy serial data whether Async or Sync. The
NetPerformer series also allows legacy analog voice with FXO, FXS
and E&M interfaces. Support is also available for digital voice with
a multitude of signaling support. The optional SkyPerformer software
allows the NetPerformer series to be optimized for Microwave and
Satellite networks.
Q: Is the NetPerformer series the same
product from several years ago?
A: Yes, the NetPerformer has been purchased by several companies in
the past including ACT networks, Clarent and Verso. The Product has
been updated over the years and continues to be developed and
supported due to its popularity and versatility.
