Poly Analog Telephone Adapters

Poly offers Analog Telephone Adapters (ATAs) that enable businesses to bridge the gap between traditional analog communication devices and modern Voice over IP (VoIP) networks. These ATAs allow companies to leverage the benefits of IP telephony, such as cost savings and advanced features, while preserving their investment in existing analog equipment like standard telephones, fax machines, and legacy paging systems

Key features and benefits of Poly ATA solutions include:

Cost-Effective VoIP Migration: Poly ATAs provide a budget-friendly way to transition to VoIP. Instead of replacing all analog devices with new IP phones, businesses can connect their current equipment to the ATA, which then converts the analog signals to digital for the IP network.
SIP Protocol Support: Poly ATAs are built on the open SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) standard. This ensures broad interoperability with a wide range of VoIP service providers, cloud telephony platforms, and IP PBX systems, offering flexibility in choosing a communication solution.
High-Quality Voice and Fax: Despite the analog-to-digital conversion, Poly ATAs are designed to maintain excellent voice clarity. They incorporate features like advanced audio codecs (e.g., G.711, G.722, G.726, G.729, Opus) and echo cancellation to ensure clear conversations. For businesses that still rely on fax, Poly ATAs typically support T.38 fax relay for reliable fax transmission over IP.
Multiple FXS Ports:Common Poly ATA models, such as the ATA 400 and ATA 402, offer one or two FXS (Foreign Exchange Station) ports. Each FXS port allows for the connection of an independent analog device, providing flexibility for connecting multiple phones or a phone and a fax machine. They also often include additional Ethernet ports for network connectivity and even pass-through to a PC.

Why Poly ATA's

Poly Analog Telephone Adapters empower businesses to seamlessly integrate their existing analog communication assets into modern, cost-efficient, and feature-rich VoIP environments, making the transition to digital communication smooth and sustainable.

Flexible Connectivity with Wi-Fi Option

While primarily designed for Ethernet connectivity, some Poly ATAs (like the ATA 400 series) can gain Wi-Fi capability through an optional USB Wi-Fi adapter (e.g., Poly OBiWiFi5G). This is particularly useful in environments where running Ethernet cables is challenging or impractical, offering greater placement flexibility.

Simplified Deployment and Management

Poly ATAs are designed for ease of use. They often support zero-touch provisioning and can be managed remotely through cloud services like Polycom Device Management Service for Service Providers (PDMS-SP). This allows administrators to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot devices centrally, simplifying large-scale deployments and ongoing maintenance.

Robust Telephony Features

When connected to a VoIP network, analog devices gain access to a rich set of IP telephony features, including call waiting, call transfer, caller ID, three-way conferencing, message waiting indication (MWI), and various call forwarding options.
