VIPswitch Inc. is the only developer of award winning Terabit Optical MAN switches and routers that guarantee QoS. VIPswitch products enable CLEC’s / ISP’s, IEC’s, and Multi-tenants customers to integrate multimedia and conventional data on the same network wire with guaranteed end-to-end QoS for all IP Video, Voice and Data communications. All this for a fraction of the cost of other vendors’ best efforts QoS solutions.

VIPswitch uses independent parallel processing agents, built into programmable silicon, to yield a non-blocking architecture with multi-gigabit, guaranteed throughput. These agents operate at wire-speed to inspect each Video & Voice packet at Layer 5. These high priority packets are given absolute priority to deliver flawless video and audio quality without jitter or delay. Data packets are then interleaved in the open slots between the video and voice packets. VIPswitch products are fully compatible with existing networks by Cisco, 3Com, Lucent, Nortel and others.
