TENOR HIGH NOTES
New Products: Quintum debuted two new products in October.
Tenor Call Relay - At the Internet Telephony show in San Diego we debuted our Tenor Call Relay, the VoIP
Network Portal. The Tenor Call Relay provides a single VoIP portal between IP networks allowing for end-to-end
VoIP communications across multiple IP networks. All calls are switched through multiple IP networks with just
one single compression and decompression of the voice. It allows VoIP endpoints behind a NAT and firewall to
communicate with external VoIP networks.
Tenor GateKeeper - The second new product, our standalone GateKeeper, was
announced at VON in Atlanta. The GateKeeper is H.323 compliant, and provides the call routing and
administration for all H.323 VoIP endpoints in a network, including gateways, IP phones and PC clients. It
dynamically self-configures the VoIP routing database, and will support static routing to provide connectivity to
endpoints not part of your VoIP network. It provides load balancing among multiple gateways and authentication
and authorization of all calls in your VoIP network. Quintum’s Tenor Gatekeeper “base” unit sells for $1000. 100-
call increments are available for $2500 and 20-call increments are available for $600. Competitors sell 20-call
increments for $2000 and more.
New Functionality: Quintum has added software functionality in its Tenors.
NATAccess™ is unique technology in the Tenor VoIP MultiPath Switches that allows VoIP implementers to
deploy the Tenor VoIP MultiPath Switch behind NATs and NAT-enabled firewalls. Quintum’s innovative
NATAccess performs network address translation within packet payloads during the call set-up process. By
providing the outside party’s router with the appropriate public IP addresses for internal users, NATAccess allows
authorized streaming VoIP traffic – and only authorized traffic – to pass through the firewall.
IVR/RADIUS Interface has also been added. This enhancement allows service providers to offer a full range of
pre-paid, post-paid, calling card and other payment plans for VoIP using any standards-compliant call accounting
system. Tenor’s integrated support for IVR and RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service)
applications gives service providers the flexibility to use either their existing and/or best-in-class third-party call
accounting/control systems as they roll out VoIP services.
Patent Approval! If any vendor tells you that their VoIP products support QoS by switching to the
PSTN…tell them to prove it! That’s because Quintum has obtained patent approval from the US Patent and
Trademark office confirming that we are the true developers of the SelectNet™ functionality. So, Tenors are the
only products that offer this ability to TRANSPARENTLY switch calls that are on the IP over to the PSTN
MID CALL if QoS is threatened.
Awards
Quintum’s Tenor CMS and A200 were finalists for the Networld+Interop 2001 Best of Show Awards, in the IP
Video and Telephony category. The A200 was a WINNER! Quintum’s Tenor Call Relay was awarded the
Editors’ Choice Award from Communications News magazine, also at N+I. And, TMC Labs awarded the Tenor
Call Relay a Best of Show Award at the Internet Telephony show in San Diego.
