Extreme voip
Monday, July 17, 2006
I love Panasonic's Toughbook because it can take a 7.62mm round from an SKS and stop it in its tracks. Always better than having large gauge holes break out all over the place. I love Subaru's WRX, because it's a rally car, and a race car, and I can still load it up with groceries or take the family on a camping trip. I love the US Coast Guard's darn near unsinkable 47' Motor Life Boat. I guess, when you get right down to it, what I really love is utility.
I'm a sucker for equipment that does an really good job in extreme conditions. Which is one of the many reasons I love voip. The idea of making voice traffic more efficient just seems so right. Patton Electronics apparently feels the same way, because they've come out with a Voice-Over-IP Gateway that's built for practically anything life throws at it.
While it may not rank high on a scale from 1 to blingtastic, the EnviroNET voip internet phone adapter has an operating temperature range of -40F to 185F, which means it can operate comfortably in places where heating or cooling systems aren't available. Pretty impressive, considering most sensitive electronics throw a supermodel sized hissy fit if the AC goes out. Air conditioning, that is.
This commercial-grade voip adapter is designed to thrive in an outdoor environment, with protection against dirt, rain, snow, sleet, dust, and ice--making it suitable for use on offshore oil rigs, pit mines, railway beds, industrial automation, and even something as mundane as outside public phone systems. And the voip goes on.
