| FTTH Integrated Voice, Video and Data IP Gateway GW-282 |
They claim that "the BATM/Telco Systems GW-282 series Integrated IP media gateway is the most efficient, flexible, and powerful device in its class." According to Telco Systems, it’s capable of supporting various combinations of 2, 4 and 8 analog voice lines (VoIP FXS ports), 8 or 16 10/100BaseTX Ethernet ports and optical Fast/ Gigabit Ethernet uplink. The GW-282 gateways cover the spectrum of requirements for the enterprise VoIP environment and remote connectivity for Fiber-to-the-Home/Apartment (FTTH/A) applications.
Some other info from their website:
Fiber-to-the-Home/Apartment (FTTH/A)
The GW-282’s flexible architecture enables it to be an IP gateway platform that supports a wide variety of optical fiber uplinks, it can be configured with either a Fast or Gigabit Ethernet transceiver. One unique advantage of the GW-282 is supporting Single Fiber using Bi-Directional transceivers, thus saving 50% on fiber cost.
The GW-282 can be deployed indoors (residence or business) or outdoors in an environmentally controlled cabinet (Outdoor rugged solution). This cabinet provides separate lock-secured access gateways for the Service Provider and end user. The cabinet is designed to support Automated Meter Reading and is equipped to support battery backup for providing Lifeline POTS. The outdoor version of GW-282 has optional support of RF video.
Voice (VoIP), Video and Data convergence
The GW-282 series is a great CPE solution for Service Providers looking to deliver voice, video and data over fiber to the end user. The GW-282 series support 802.1p QoS, 802.1q VLAN tagging, Spanning Tree Protocol and IGMPv2. The GW-282 supports all current VoIP signaling protocols including SIP, MGCP and H.323. Other protocols are optional and can be enabled. Soon, VoIP support will be delivered with an optional VoIP upgrade kit. This adherence to standards allows users to have maximum interoperability with existing network infrastructure.
Small Medium Enterprises (SME) usage
The GW-282 series is the ultimate solution for Small Medium Enterprises. Users can easily set up phone calls through the IP network while simultaneously using the gateway as a high-bandwidth enterprise network connection.
Manageability
GW-282 can be managed by SNMP, HTTP, Telnet, local terminal and download of configuration and new software by DHCP server. In addition, the GW-282 series, as all BATM/Telco Systems IP platforms, support BiNOSCenter, the BATM/Telco Systems EMS/NMS Element/Network Management System.

Now if only I can convince Telco Systems to get fiber installed to my home I can do a review of their product.

I follow Telco because they are a customer of Global IP Sound (GIPS), the company with great voice codecs. Howver, I'm not sure which Telco products include the GIPS software.
Have you heard if Vonage VoIP will work with Verizon Fios? I can't get a straight answer out of either. I have Vonage, but am hesitant to increase my DSL to Fios until I know it will work for sure. I would be interested in knowing if anyone else has this working.
I don't see why Vonage wouldn't work over fiber unless Verizon blocked certain ports.
Vonage is basically over IP using specific ports. I've yet to hear of any American ISP companies blocking the VoIP ports, i.e. SIP's port 5060.
My ISP claims that they have blocked their VOIP Ports, i.e. 5060. However, they have also said that only Net2Phone services would work. Is this possible.
