The Fusion Series MSBGs combine the functions of a router, switch, firewall/NAT, IPSec/VPN, IDS, session controller, bandwidth manager, VoIP Gateway, patented QoS (GoSTM) and simplified management functions into one device for the secure, reliable delivery of unified voice, data and video communications. U4EA’s patented 9 dimension QoS, Guarantee of Service (GoS), was designed to support multiple real-time applications and is the only QoS technology that was specifically designed to support Unified Communications applications.

U4EA’s Fusion MSBG series was selected by SimpleSignal after thorough testing. The integrated GoS technology delivered superior bandwidth optimization for multiple real time applications, e.g., VoIP and video over a single WAN link. By ‘guaranteeing’ that 90% of the WAN link is available for real time applications (vs. 33% by other QoS methods), GoS can save almost 3X in WAN cost. Eliminating the need for a second T-1 link can save customers on average $400 per month. In addition, the Fusion MSBGs are very simple to install and configure and incorporate advanced management tools such as wizards and graphical ‘gauges’ and visual statistics. Finally, the Fusion Series provide a rich feature set and advanced functionality in a single edge device.

“The quality of service delivered by the Fusion Series is impressive as its QoS effectively controls both latency and loss,” said Dave Gilbert, President of SimpleSignal. “U4EA has wrapped this functionality into a UC-friendly gateway that is extremely intuitive and easy to set up. We look forward to working closely with U4EA and driving our suite of hosted VoIP and hosted UC services to new levels.”

“We are excited that SimpleSignal has selected U4EA’s Fusion family of Multi-service Business Gateways to ensure a high Quality of Experience for their Hosted Services customers,” said Andrew Pryfogle, VP Sales North America for U4EA. “SimpleSignal has always been a forward-thinking and innovative Hosted Services Provider. They are providing disruptive technology that is radically changing the way Small & Medium businesses are communicating. U4EA is happy to be selected as a key partner to help them achieve their goals.”
