A practical path to convergence
Practical Convergence. Today.
Siemens HiPath 4000 is an IP convergence platform that supports an
IP distributed Architecture. It offers exceptional scalability, security
and investment protection. The architecture is a great advantage to
any distributed enterprise, regardless of size or whether the
enterprise is dispersed across a campus, a multi-story building,
nationally, or globally.
Siemens offers this HiPath family to large enterprises as a communi-
cations solution that satisfies the technology requirements of
circuit-switched, packet-switched and mixed environments.
