Sprint Coral IPX Overview

As a Global Multimedia Switching Platform, the Coral FlexiCom and the Coral IPx systems are built to meet the domestic and international demands of today’s enterprise. Built by a worldwide leader in advanced telecommunications solutions, Coral represents the cutting edge in state-of-the-art, software-controlled, digital voice, data, and video communications switching systems. The Coral is an IP-enabled communications platform and offers all the features and capabilities required in today’s business environment. Coral delivers a full complement of advanced switching features; powerful networking for full bandwidth digital switching as well as integrated IP to take advantage of local and wide area converged services. The system includes robust support for:

_ VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) connectivity

_ ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network)

_ QSIG Networking (over ISDN and IP)

_ CTI (Computer-Telephony Integration)

_ ACD (Automatic Call Distribution)

_ FlexCT Call Centers (Automatic Voice Call and Data Screen

 Distribution)

_ Intelligent Call Routing

_ FlexCT WWO or iCMC (a unified messaging communications platform for voice mail, e-mail, and fax messages)

_ Audio and Video Conferencing

_ CoraLITE (remote peripheral switching)

_ Digital Wireless telephones

(in the US ISM 2.4 GHz frequency band or DECT 1880-1900 MHz)

_ DS0 channelized data transport

_ etc.

Equipped with a broad range of high-performance features designed specifically to provide a world-wide communications solution, the Coral stands ready to deploy in multi-national, as well as local environments. Each system, for example, may be configured to match the network characteristics of nearly any particular locality, and each telephone set may be equipped with multiple display languages – up to four in each system – and users may select any language directly from the set.

The Coral system incorporates the QSIG international network signaling standard, which is based on ISDN. Through this signaling format, QSIG compliant systems – even those from different manufacturers – can be linked to form a uniform, cohesive telecommunications network, including transparent support of features. For a campus type environment, the Coral system again has the solution – with

Remote Peripheral Shelves linked by fiber optic cable to a central control cabinet. A geographically distributed single Coral system, with one configuration and one administration point, with the safety, reliability, security, and economy afforded by optical fiber interconnection. The demands placed on an organization’s communications system during growth periods often stretch previously adequate equipment past its design limits. What a growing enterprise needs is a flexible communications system, with an open architecture designed to be economical and practical when demands are minimal; and that can expand smoothly as the organization grows, adding the features and performance demanded of larger systems.

Coral_IPx

The Coral IPx is a family of systems available in various cabinet configurations. The cabinets range in size from the compact Coral IPx 500 rack/wall-mounted, the mid-sized Coral IPx 800 rack-mounted; to the expandable Coral IPx 3000 rack-mounted, and Coral IPx 4000 using free-standing cabinets. All of the Coral’s power and sophistication is available in each Coral IPx system.

The Coral IPx 500 is a compact communications platform based on the full-size Coral platform, designed to meet the needs of small to medium sized and multi-site organizations.

The Coral IPx 4000 is a Hot-Standby Dual Control system, a complete and powerful unit that functions without interrupting telephony service. Similar to the Coral

IPx 3000 configurations, the Coral IPx 4000 remains cost-effective while meeting the demands of critical applications through its redundant common control system and fail-safe backup operations, including redundant power supplies. These features are of the utmost importance to systems considered ‘mission-critical’.
