Telephone Adaptor is a handset-to-Ethernet adaptor that turns traditional
telephone devices into IP devices. Customers can take advantage of the

and is the preferred solution to address the needs of customers who
connect to either enterprise networks, small-office environments, or the
emerging VoIP managed voice services and local services market.
Enterprise customers are
using the Cisco ATA 188 to connect analog phones and FAX machines to
their VoIP network. Service providers are taking advantage of emerging
telephony applications and the ease of deploying second-line services
