Spa2002-Analog Telephone Adapter

Product Description

Inexpensive, easy to install and simple-to-use, the Linksys SPA2002 Analog Telephone Adapter connects a standard telephone or fax machine to IP-based data networks. IP telephony service providers and enterprises can offer residential and business users traditional and enhanced communication services via the customer's broadband connection to the Internet or Local Area Network (LAN).

The SPA2002 features two RJ11 POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) ports for connection to existing analog phones, fax machines, PBX and key system communication platforms. The SPA2002 includes an RJ45 Ethernet port for connection to a home or office LAN. Each SPA service line can be independently configured via software controlled by the service provider and/or the end user.

With the SPA2002, individuals and companies are able to protect and extend their past investments in telephones, conference speakerphones and fax machines as well as control their migration to IP with an extremely affordable, incremental investment.

Installed by the end user and remotely provisioned, configured and maintained by the service provider, each SPA2002 converts voice traffic into data packets for transmission over an IP network. The SPA2002 can be used in consumer and business IP telephony service offerings including full-featured IP Centrex. The SPA2002 delivers clear sounding voice and reliable fax calling through its implementation of internationally recognized standards for voice and data networking.

Toll Quality Voice and Carrier-Grade Feature Support
The SPA2002 delivers clear, high-quality voice communication in a variety of network conditions. Excellent voice quality in challenging, changeable IP network environments is made possible via our advanced implementation of standard voice coding algorithms.

Large-Scale Deployment and Management
The SPA2002 offers all the key features and capabilities with which service providers can provide customized services to their subscribers.

A secure profile upload saves providers the time, expense and hassle of managing and pre-configuring or re-configuring customer premises equipment (CPE) for deployment.

Ironclad Security
