Product Features
Technical Overview
The Mediant 2000 VoIP Gateway delivers enterprise telephony functionality through a hardware-optimized platform. It features four CompactPCI expansion slots, allowing for flexible configuration with additional interface cards, DSP resources, or network modules. This modular approach enables tailored deployments that match specific port counts, protocol support, or redundancy requirements without over-provisioning hardware.
The gateway operates as a standalone media gateway or session border controller, handling call signaling, media transcoding, and security functions. It supports industry-standard SIP and H.323 protocols for interoperability with a wide range of IP-PBX systems, softswitches, and service provider networks. The absence of built-in PoE and management ports indicates a focus on core gateway functionality, relying on external switches and management interfaces for network integration.
Relevant factors for this section include PoE (RJ-45) Port, USB, Management Port, Total Number of Expansion Slots. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.

FAQ
What expansion options does the Mediant 2000 VoIP Gateway support?
The Mediant 2000 includes four CompactPCI expansion slots, allowing you to add interface cards for additional ports, DSP resources, or network modules. This modular design enables customization for specific deployment needs, such as adding T1/E1 trunks, analog lines, or digital interfaces without replacing the entire gateway.
Is the Mediant 2000 rack-mountable, and what size rack does it require?
Yes, the Mediant 2000 is designed for rack mounting with a 1U form factor. It fits standard 19-inch equipment racks, making it suitable for data centers, server rooms, and telecom closets where space efficiency is important. The rack-mount design includes standard mounting hardware for secure installation.
Does this VoIP gateway support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, the Mediant 2000 does not include PoE support on its RJ-45 ports. This gateway focuses on core telephony functions like call processing and media conversion, so PoE for powering devices like IP phones would need to be provided by external switches or injectors in the network.
What redundancy features are available for power supply?
The Mediant 2000 supports redundant power supplies, allowing you to install a secondary power unit for backup. This feature enhances reliability by providing power failover in case of a primary supply failure, which is critical for maintaining uptime in enterprise telephony deployments.
How does the Mediant 2000 handle environmental compliance?
This gateway is environmentally friendly and complies with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE). This means it meets European standards for recycling and disposal, ensuring responsible handling of electronic components at end-of-life and reducing environmental impact.
What are typical use cases for this VoIP gateway in business environments?
The Mediant 2000 is commonly used for PSTN-to-SIP migration, SIP trunk consolidation, and hybrid telephony deployments. It serves enterprises needing to connect legacy phone systems to IP networks, contact centers requiring high-density call handling, and multi-site organizations centralizing voice services. Its scalability makes it suitable for growing businesses with evolving communication needs.
