media convergance project

[dluffman]

i have been given a project to create a network that links a site in NY to London and Paris with 1.5mb of badwidth to each. Par<--1.5--NY--1.5-->Lon

The links will carry ~6 analogue voice channels, at least 1 video link (1 Vid=6x64K channels) plus IP network between a few PC's on each site each.

I have video codecs etc but what network kit do I need? Is the Cisco MC3810 the only answer?

[smahbub]

I think the 3810 should suit your needs based on what you described. Is there something in the design that concerns you? Did your Cisco design engineer look this over yet?

[dluffman]

The only thing that concerns me is that our supplier doesn't seem to have much experience of the MC3810 and cannot provide information on how to configure the kit for our requirements. And looking for experts elsewhere seems equally fruitless.

If you get a Cisco support contract with your purchase, you can just bypass your distributor and go right to Cisco’s TAC for help.
