The device uses a controller circuit, with an embedded software agent, that intelligently routes telephone calls, based on a set of pre-established routing rules, over one of the available networks (IP network or PSTN).

“Mediatrix has been developing VoIP access devices for the past 8 years,” states Norman Rae, CTO of Mediatrix. “Our R&D group, based in Sherbrooke, Quebec, develops and implements some of the most innovative technological concepts in this burgeoning VoIP industry.

Generally, all calls are routed over the IP network; however, emergency 9-1-1 calls are automatically routed over the legacy telephone network, provided the device is connected to the PSTN. This proprietary intelligent routing technology provides a reliable emergency 9-1-1 service allowing accurate location and call back of the individual in distress. Additionally, all calls made under the circumstances of a power failure affecting the access device are routed over the PSTN.

Mediatrix develops and markets advanced VoIP access devices, gateways, routers and value-added software enhancements for the enterprise, SOHO, and residential markets.

The Canadian patent was granted to Mediatrix in April 2004. Similar patent applications are pending in several other countries across North America, Europe and Asia.
