Integrated Infrastructure Supports Communications

A resilient, integrated, and adaptive network infrastructure is a critical component of today's communications systems. Communications infrastructure products include routing, switching, and other products such as voice gateways, switches with inline power, and voice servers.

Cisco bases its Service-Oriented Network Architecture on:

• Adding intelligence to the network
• Providing a systems-level approach to integration
• Delivering policies that allow these systems to address your specific business processes

For example, Cisco RSVP Agent allows Cisco Integrated Services Routers to intelligently exchange information with Cisco Unified Communications Manager to improve quality of service and increase network flexibility.

This network provides a secure foundation optimized for data, wireless, and unified communications, and includes the ability to support IP-to-IP gateways for easy and cost-effective connectivity between independent voice-over-IP (VoIP) networks and analog phone gateways using your existing phone equipment.
