Ethernet Cable Comparison

What type of Ethernet Cable should you have installed, CAT5e, CAT6, or CAT6a ?

Ethernet cables are defined by sequentially numbered Categories (CAT) based on different specifications.  Voice Grade Cabling is CAT3.  Early Ethernet Cabling was CAT5.  Further clarification, testing standards, or improvements sometimes creates the need to update the Category, ie; CAT5e, or CAT6a.

CAT5e Cable is good for 10/100/1000MB (1-Gigabit) use up to 100 meters (100Mhz)

CAT6 Cable is good for 10/100/1000MB (1-Gigabit) use up to 100 meters (250Mhz)

CAT6 Cable is good for 10/100/1000/10,000MB (10-Gigabit) use up to 55 meters (250Mhz)

CAT6a Cable is good for 10/100/1000/10,000MB (10-Gigabit) use up to 100 meters (500Mhz)

The higher the CAT number, the higher the speed and Mhz of the cable. Each Category requires more stringent testing and requires the elimination of more crosstalk.

You will need your cable installed correctly or you won’t obtain the speeds the cable is capable of.  Just because you have CAT6 Cable, does NOT mean that you will 1Gb network speeds. Every termination and connection in your network must be installed to standard in order to support the 1Gb speed.

The main difference between CAT6 and CAT6a is that CAT6a was revised/augmented to provide testing up to 500Mhz which doubled the 250Mhz capability of CAT6.  That’s why CAT6a can support 10Gb up to 100 meters, while CAT6 can only support 1Gb up to 100 meters.

IP Office R11 License Upgrade Notes

With R11, IP Office utilizes Product License and Delivery System (PLDS) licensing for new system deployments. Resellers & Installers benefit from self-service licensing management.

The Avaya One Source (A1S) upgrade configuration option will simplify and automate upgrades to IP Office R11.0, it’s the same process used for R10/R10.1. (This process supports both transactional/paid or support entitled upgrades)

Avaya will continue to support aftermarket (ADI) licensing for user and trunking for those customers (Pre – R10) who may need to expand their system, but are not ready to upgrade to R11 (PLDS).

Support for the new J169 and J179 IP phones will be included with IP Office R11. These two new IP phones will address the need for everyday voice communications. The Vantage Basic software client will also be supported and will introduce the all glass Vantage device to the Midmarket.

R11 Software: IP Office R11 software/binaries will be available through PLDS or the support site. Customers will be required to upgrade to R11 using paid or entitled R11 release upgrade licenses and apply the R11 software load using Manager.

IF the IP Office system is running R10/10.1, which is all PLDS licensing; the PLDS upgrade processes would apply.

ONLY if you are on PRE-R10 (ADI Licensing) and Upgrading to R10/10.1/11 (PLDS Licensing) will you need to use the .xml license migration file and processes for an upgrade.

Resellers must go through the A1S design/ordering process to obtain an upgrade from IPO R10 to R11. However, they do NOT have to upload the XML file for license migration for R10 to R11 designs. Use the standard PLDS and A1S design process for upgrade/entitled upgrade and activation.

Protect your property with a Professional Level IP Video Security System designed for home or business. This web exclusive HDIP88BW IP camera system includes Lorex 4K, 8-channel NR900 Series Network Video Recorder (NVR). It also comes with 8 each 2K (4-megapixel) Weatherproof IP Security Cameras with Color Night Vision.

2TB Security Certified Hard Drive is perfect for high workloads: Weeks to months of recorded security footage can be stored on the 2TB security certified hard drive within the NR900 NVR. Traditional desktop hard drives are not designed to run continuously, recover from errors optimally and often have limited power backup or no power backup at all. Your Lorex Security Certified Surveillance Hard Drive, on the other hand, can run optimally 24/7. It also uses less power to run than your typical household hard drive. This ensures that it will not put any strain or compromise the performance of your recorder.

Heavy Duty Metal Camera Housings: The Lorex LNE4422 IP Dome Security Camera is built from a sturdy solid unibody metal housing that protects the camera from both violent impacts and harsh weather. Engineered from the same material that is used in the construction of airplanes and cars, you can be confident that this corrosion-resistant aluminum body will persevere through rain, snow, and even hail for years.

Outstanding Night Vision Technology: Lorex’s professional-grade night vision technology will keep your property safe around the clock. The 2K resolution LNE4422 dome security camera will help you do that using their innovative color night vison (CNV) technology. This unique feature will deliver full color night vision video that will add an extra level of visual detail to help identify people or objects in the dark. The high-powered infrared LEDs within the IP security cameras deliver outstanding night vision range up to 150ft / 46m away in ambient lighting (up to 100ft / 30m away in total darkness) so you can rest assured that they won’t ever leave you in the dark.

Intermedia SIP Trunks Saved Rainier Title 60%

Intermedia SIP Trunks Saved Rainier Title 60% on their Monthly Phone Bill

Company Profile: Rainier Title is a locally owned and operated real property title and escrow company doing business throughout King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties.

Industry: Title and escrow services

Headquarters: Seattle, WA

Intermedia’s customer since: 2015

The Background: Intermedia partner Efficient Communication Solutions, Inc. (ECS) was presented with a unique challenge. Its client, Rainier Title, a 30-year strong title & escrow company, was looking to further grow the business, but management of numerous of voice carriers and UC systems had become a nightmare, and was holding them back.

Spread across 11 offices and 10 geographic locations, the customer knew it had to get things centralized quickly if it was going to continue scaling operations.

The Challenge: When Rainier Title turned to ECS, some of its offices had analog lines and others had digital Primary Rate Interfaces (PRIs). A few locations had DID functionality while most didn’t. Each office required a gateway for dial tone services, resulting in a multitude of hardware configuration and management complexities.

Further, this expensive hodgepodge of voice systems lacked the centralized administration, scalability, and feature consistency that ECS’ client so desperately needed.

Rainier Title wanted an internet-based phone system from a single carrier with a proven track record that would simplify management, reduce costs, and deliver a unified experience for their employees…all without introducing business disruption.

The Solution: ECS presented Rainier Title with the solution – Intermedia’s SIP Trunking services supporting the Avaya IP Office Platform. Intermedia SIP Trunking services have been compliance-tested through Avaya DevConnect program for interoperability with the Avaya IP Office 9.1+ Platform.

The Intermedia solution met each item on Rainier’s wish list and then some. ECS conducted the migration by tackling one office location at a time.

The recommended Intermedia / Avaya voice solution allowed the customer to:

♦ achieve centralized system administration and dialtone

♦ remove analog gateways required for local service

♦ control outbound Caller ID, enabling employees to take their DIDs when moving offices without impacting their residential customer base

♦ give all employees access to the same service features

Since implementing Intermedia’s SIP Trunking, we’ve been able to more easily scale our operations. Not only have we grown our overall headcount, we’ve also opened two new offices.
