Quintum Technologies Overview 
 
Quintum Technologies, Inc., an innovator in the VoIP arena, has introduced many new Voice over Internet Protocol 
(VoIP) concepts and patented technologies based on its flagship product: the award-winning Tenor MultiPath Switch.   
 
Quintum brings “active intelligence” into voice connectivity, eliminating the barriers for convergence of today's networks 
and the applications they will support in the future. Through Quintum's unique approach, we have developed 
breakthrough technology that vastly improves Quality of Service, Ease of Use and Ease of Integration for VoIP, and 
provides the foundation to address future enterprise voice/data issues.   
 
Bottom Line, Quintum’s products allow organizations to save money by combining their Voice and Data Networks.  In 
addition, they allow Next Generation Telephone Companies and Internet Service Providers the opportunity to expand their 
services and sources of revenue. 
 
The Tenors do this by converting voice and fax calls into data packets, and routing them over the IP network, using 
available bandwidth on Corporate WAN’s or the Public Internet.  In addition, the Tenor’s integrated VoIP Gatekeeper 
functionality allows a dynamic directory system to be in place, so that the VoIP network can change and grow with no 
downtime. 
 
Analog and Digital Tenors 
 
As mentioned before, Quintum’s flagship products, the Analog and Digital Tenors are flexible & scalable in their design. 
The Digital Tenor is available with options to support 8, 16, 24 or 30 simultaneous VoIP channels (calls) and is installed 
in between a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) and the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) via T1, E1 or PRI lines, 
and then connected into an Ethernet Switch as simply as adding a new PC to the network. For smaller and branch 
locations, it supports fractional T1, E1 and PRI. Multiple Tenors may be ”stacked together“ in one location. 
 
The Analog Tenor supports either 4 or 8 simultaneous voice calls, and installs in the same manner as the Digital Tenor, 
but is connected to Analog (Loop Start) Telephone Lines.  There is also a new 2-port version, called the Tenor A200
featured below, as it has a different feature set than the rest of the Tenor family. 
 
Another newer product is the Tenor CMS (Carrier MultiPath Switch), which is a Carrier-Class, Chassis-Based High Density 
Switch, which can support up to 960 simultaneous phone calls.  This product is quickly becoming a staple of the Next 
Generation Phone Companies and Calling Card Phone Operators. 
 
 
 
Here is a quick look at some of the supporting technologies that run through Quintum’s Product Line: 
 
SelectNet™ Technology 
This patented technology allows VoIP calls to remain connected, even if the IP network is having problems or fails.  
Without the callers intervention or knowledge, the Tenors can be configured to switch a call from the IP Network to the 
PSTN when certain criteria is met regarding 3 factors; IP Packet Loss, Delay (Latency) and Jitter.
