The internet is dead, long live the internet!

World IPv6 LaunchWith the demise of the old internet (IPv4) companies are having to work out how to get their office network on to the current internet protocols (IPv6). Without this they will find increasing problems with access to parts of the internet as well as more of more of the usual issues with Network Address Translation (NAT). IPv6 provides a means to have real IP addresses on your network with the FireBrick providing firewalling and control that you need. Even if your internet provider does not support IPv6 yet (and you should really find a new one if that is the case) you can gain most of the advantages of IPv6 using the FireBrick as your network gateway. A FireBrick provides the key component to any office upgrading to use IPv6.

Office gateway for Internet and Voice

April 2012: FireBrick launch Voice over IP gateway. The FireBrick not only act as an Internet gateway, but also as a VoIP gateway providing office PABX features and connecting to VoIP SIP carriers.

By acting as a SIP concentrator and PABX the FireBrick resolves the usual issues associated with Network Address Translation. Phones on the office network register with the FireBrick, and the FireBrick connects to external carriers. Features include internal calls, call transfer, hunt groups with time profiles and fallback, busy lamp (tested on SNOM phones), call pickup and call steal. One of the key features is that the FireBrick can work with both IPv4 and IPv6 SIP devices bridging the audio between them.

In the long term FireBrick plan to launch an FB6000 model for large scale voice carrier usage handling tens of thousands of calls.
