| Voice and Internet traffic
are segregated by the (BSC) which switches voice traffic
to the (PSTN) and Internet traffic to a built-in Remote
Access Switch (RAS) which in turn routes the Internet
traffic to the Internet via a 10BaseT Ethernet interface.
Each (RAS) has two E1 ports for connecting to the BSC
and can support IP based Internet routing for up to
60 subscribers at a time.
Note: The current version of TAWA provides a permanent
Internet connection at a data rate of 70 kbps, which
drops to 35 kbps when the telephone is in use and transparently
goes back to 70 kbps when the telephone goes on-hook.
A soon to be released version will be capable of a data
rate of 300 kbps.
