The Cisco ATA 190 Analog Telephone Adapter is a handset-to-Ethernet adapter that converts traditional telephone devices into IP devices. Customers can benefit from many new and exciting IP telephony applications by connecting their analog devices with Cisco ATAs.

Cisco ATA products are standards-based communication devices that provide true, forward-looking Voice-over-IP (VoIP) terminals for businesses and households worldwide. The Cisco ATA 190:

• Protects existing telephone investments: The Cisco ATA 190 supports two voice ports (RJ-11 telephone ports), each with its own independent phone number, as well as a single RJ-45 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet port. Each port supports either voice calls or fax sessions, and both ports can be used simultaneously. This adapter can leverage existing Ethernet LAN installations.
• Is cost-effective: The Cisco ATA 190 helps customers convert their analog telephone devices into IP devices cost-effectively and is the preferred solution to meet the needs of customers connecting to enterprise networks, small office environments, or the emerging market for managed VoIP voice services and local services.

Enterprise customers can use the Cisco ATA 190 to connect analog phones and fax machines to their VoIP network. Service providers benefit from emerging telephony applications and the easy deployment of second-line services with Cisco ATA solutions.
