Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE)
AudioCodes Mediant 800 supports enhanced IP Quality of Service (QoS) enforcement and Quality of Experience (QoE) Monitoring. Leveraging a BroadSoft PacketSmart embedded agent - a SaaS-based lifecycle management solution, the Mediant 800 enables service providers and multi-site enterprises to assess networks, certify VoIP deployments, and measure, monitor, track, and help optimize the QoE of their VoIP services. The PacketSmart solution is either offered as a public cloud service or within the customer's data center in a private cloud deployment. AudioCodes' Mediant 800 also supports enhanced IP Quality of Service (QoS), including Ethernet frame tagging (802.1P), IP packet marking (Diffserv), and traffic shaping.

Survivability Services Customers served by a centralized, SIP-based IP Centrex server or branch offices of distributed enterprises, may face service discontinuities in case of a WAN failure. The integrated SAS (Stand Alone Survivability) feature of the Mediant 800 enables internal office communication between SIP clients (e.g. IP Phones), along with PSTN fallback, in case of disconnection from the centralized IP Centrex server or IP-PBX.

Value Added Services by an Open Platform for 3rd Party Applications
AudioCodes Mediant 800 MSBG extends the flexibility of the Multi-Service Business Gateway with the built-in Open Solution Network (OSN) server option (based on an Intel processor). Independent Software Vendors and OEM customers can utilize this integrated, general purpose server to host their own applications (e.g. IP-PBX, IVR, Call Center, Conferencing, and more). In addition, an advanced, on-board DSP Resource Farm enables the implementation of narrowband as well as wideband/ High Definition VoIP (HD VoIP) media processing services, such as announcements, recording, IVR, conferencing and transcoding, all controlled by standard protocols (e.g., SIP and MSCML). Utilizing AudioCodes dedicated DSP resources, enables a more robust and predictable voice performance, as compared to typical software implementations, based on general purpose CPU's.

Mediant 800 MSBG in Service Provider Networks
As SMB's strive to control their communication operating and equipment costs, outsourcing a Voice and Data infrastructure to a Service Provider is becoming an attractive option. The Mediant 800 MSBG offers service providers who are delivering hosted and managed communication services, a clear and easy-to-manage demarcation point, combining Data Routing and Security, WAN Access, Secured VoIP and the Stand Alone Survivability feature,Using the Mediant 800 MSBG.
