Overview

The EdgeMarc 4500 SOHO Router is an intelligent, all-in-one networking solution for
enterprises and service providers. It reduces costs by simplifying the deployment, management
and security of converged voice, video and data networks. The EdgeMarc 4500 provides the
following important functions for converged networks:
Security
A stateful packet inspection firewall is used in combination with a voice over IP (VoIP)
application layer gateway to provide comprehensive "media-aware" security. The
EdgeMarc 4500 also supports IPSec for secure site-to-site networking.
VoIP
The EdgeMarc 4500 resolves NAT/FW traversal problems for SIP traffic. It allows a single
public IP address to be used for multiple VoIP clients. VoIP survivability is also provided so
that local SIP PSTN gateways are available for inbound and outbound calling during WAN
link failures.
Quality of Service
The EdgeMarc 4500 maximizes WAN link utilization while optimizing voice quality using
prioritization and shaping.
Call Quality Monitoring
The EdgeMarc 4500 provides passive call quality monitoring statistics for each VoIP call to
enforce SLAs and resolve networking problems that negatively affect call quality.
Future-proof Scalability
The EdgeMarc 4500 is a powerful, flexible platform that can be deployed initially as a low-
cost WAN access router and then licensed through software for more advanced VoIP
features and increased call performance. It is the ideal platform for service providers
offering DIA, hosted VoIP and managed security services or enterprises migrating to
converged voice and data networks.
