Verilink’s 8000 Series next-generation IADs have continued to receive accolades from the industry. For the second consecutive year, Verilink’s 8000 Series IAD has been recognized by Telecommuncations Magazine as among “The 10 Hottest Technologies for 2005” for technical achievement – this year based on its implementation of the SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) protocol. The 8000 series is a unique product in the market offering software based configurability for access to combined voice and data services over VoIP, VoDSL, VoATM or TDM. All these transport modes are configurable within the 8000 series IADs – thus requiring no software downloads – simply configure the 8000 Series for any of these services via a web browser interface.
