ribbon EdgeMarc 2900a PoE VoIP Gateway
Deploying voice communications over the Internet has the potential to create quality and security issues if providers don't take proactive measures to prevent issues. Ribbon's Intelligent Edge™ solutions are deployed at the edge of a customer's network to give communication service providers a better way to monitor, manage and secure voice traffic as it enters and exits a customer's site.

EdgeMarc elements can operate independently or be centrally managed with the EdgeView Service Control Center. By centrally managing hundreds or thousands of EdgeMarc elements, EdgeView gives providers a local view of issues as well as a holistic view of their network. EdgeView also enables

• Zero touch provisioning for consistent, low touch, low cost deployments.
• Centralized reporting and management tools reduce expensive truck rolls and many of the customer satisfaction issues that create churn.

Ribbon Communications' EdgeMarc 2900e and 2900a Power over Ethernet (PoE) Intelligent Edge™ devices are ideally suited for Cloud UC applications that require PoE functionality to power IP endpoints. This solution enables service providers to easily support locations with less than 12 phones with a single device (larger implementations can utilize external PoE switches).
