Telecommunications in India 1 Telephone Industry in the country which is in an ongoing process of transforming into next generation network, employs an extensive system of modern network elements such as digital telephone exchanges, mobile switching centres, media gateways and signalling gateways at the core, interconnected by a wide variety of transmission systems using fibre-optics or Microwave radio relaynetworks

Next-generation network - Underlying technology components 1 The most important function of the Softswitch is creating the interface to the existing telephone network, PSTN, through Signalling Gateways and Media Gateways

Media Gateway Control Protocol 1 The Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) is an implementation of the Media Gateway Control Protocol architecture for controlling media gateways on Internet Protocol (IP) networks connected to the public switched telephone network (PSTN)

Media Gateway Control Protocol - Architecture 1 MGCP assumes a call control architecture where there is limited intelligence at the edge (endpoints, Media Gateways) and intelligence at the core Call Agent. The MGCP assumes that Call Agents, will synchronize with each other to send coherent commands and responses to the gateways under their control.

Private branch exchange - Current trends 1 Since people want to call from the IP network to the circuit-switched PSTN (Signalling System No. 7|SS7/ISDN User Part|ISUP), the hosted solutions include interconnecting media gateways.

AudioCodes - Company history 1 This was followed by the high density media gateways and media servers and more currently they have entered the market for multi-service business gateways and IP phones.

Softswitch 1 A call agent may control several different media gateways in geographically dispersed areas via a TCP/IP link

Tilera - Products 1 * Wireless infrastructure such as 4G Node B Base Station, Radio Network Controller|RNC, and Media Gateways

Media Gateway Control Protocol (Megaco) - Protocol Overview 1 H.248 is meant to address the relationship between the Media Gateways (MGs), which converts circuit-switched voice to packet-based traffic, and the Media Gateway Controller (MGC).[ h248v2.pdf], The H.248 Gateway Control Protocol version 2 Media Gateway Controller (MGC) using H.248 instructs one or more Media Gateways (MG)s to connect streams coming from outside a packet or cell data network onto a packet or cell stream such as the Real-time Transport Protocol|Real-Time Transport Protocol.

Media Gateway Control Protocol (Megaco) - Protocol Overview 1 H.248/Megaco due to its master - slave nature does not describe the establishment of calls across domains or across Media Gateway Controllers. H.248/Megaco is used for communication downward, to the media gateways and does not constitute a complete system. The architecture requires a Peer-to-Peer for communication between Media Gateway Controllers.

Media Gateway Control Protocol (Megaco) - Protocol Overview 1 H.248 defines the protocol for Media Gateway Controllers to control Media Gateways for the support of multimedia streams across IP address|IP networks and the Public Switched Telephone network (PSTN)

Media Gateway Control Protocol (Megaco) - Protocol Overview 1 While a Media Gateway Controller (MGC) will use H.248/Megaco to manage media establishment and control with a number of Media Gateways (MG), other VoIP protocol such as Session Initiation Protocol|SIP and H.323 are used for one Media Gateway Controller (MGC) to communicate with another Media Gateway Controller (MGC)

Media Gateway Control Protocol (Megaco) - Protocol Overview 1 In IP Multimedia Subsystem|IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), Media Gateway Control Function (MGCF) control Media Gateways (MGW)s to send and receive call to / from the PSTN Circuit switching|circuit switched (CS) networks using. H.248. The MGCF uses SIP messages to interact with IP_Multimedia_Subsystem#CSCF_.E _Call _Session_Control_Function|Call Session Control Function (CSCF) and IP_Multimedia_Subsystem#CSCF_.E _Call _Session_Control_Function|Breakout Gateway Control Function (BGCF).

Internet telephony service provider 1 Retail customers of an ITSP may use traditional analog telephone sets attached to an analog telephony adapter (ATA) to connect to the service provider's network via a local area network, they may use an IP phone, or they may connect a private branch exchange (PBX) system to the service via media gateways.

Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) 1 The 'Media Gateway Control Protocol' ('MGCP') is an implementation of the Media Gateway Control Protocol architecture for controlling media gateways on Internet Protocol (IP) networks connected to the public switched telephone network (PSTN).RFC 2805, Media Gateway Control Protocol Architecture and Requirements, N

Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) - Architecture 1 MGCP assumes a call control architecture where there is limited intelligence at the edge (endpoints, Media Gateways) and intelligence at the core Call Agent. The MGCP assumes that Call Agents, will synchronize with each other to send coherent commands and responses to the gateways under their control.

PABX - Current trends 1 For the option to call from IP network to the circuit-switched PSTN (Signalling System No. 7|SS7/ISDN User Part|ISUP), the hosted solutions include interconnecting media gateways.

GENBAND - History 1 In 2007, Genband acquired Tekelec’s Switching Solutions Group, which expanded Genband’s product offerings in applications software and SIP trunking gateways.
