Today's focus: Adtran releases integrated access device

By Tim Greene

Adtran is coming out with an integrated access device that can
terminate IPSec VPN sessions, making it a flexible option for
businesses.

The Total Access 9000 device can support traditional voice
calls, IP voice calls and data over a single service-provider
access line.

By also supporting VPN termination the device can give
businesses the choice to use Internet connections for data
transfers. For instance, a business might have an IAD at one
site to connect to an MPLS VPN service, but another site might
be beyond the reach of the MPLS service. In that case a second
IAD could be placed at the non-MPLS site and create an IPSec
link to the rest of the VPN. In that way, all sites could
connect with each other even though the individual links might
be supported by different underlying technology.

Total Access 9000s autoconfigure, so when one is plugged into a
network it can be directed to a Web site where it can pull down
updates and configuration settings.

The IAD comes in three models that support 12, 16 or 24 analog
phone ports. An office could plug in that many regular phones to
the device and connect to a phone service through the same line
that supports data connections and the VPN.

The IAD relies on a service provider splitting the traditional
voice from data in its network, so these boxes will likely show
up at customer sites as part of a managed VPN service. But it's
an option that's out there that businesses can look for when
they are weighing WAN service options.
