G6 Media Gateway Features
Emergency Standalone (ESA) Capability for Uninterrupted Service
The G6 has integrated ESA functionality that takes over call control if the primary C20 call controller is unavailable. This ensures that current calls stay up and new calls can be made within and among platforms attached to the G6.
Unmatched High Capacity and Redundancy
Due to the G6 platform’s extensive softswitch support and port capacity, thousands of customers on multiple DLCs/HDTs can be served from a single G6 platform and softswitch, creating substantial cost savings. The G6 supports high-capacity interfaces for both TDM and packet networks. It also includes a high-speed switch fabric and a 1:1 protection scheme for non-service affecting upgrades and switchovers
Maximize Return on Investment Through Versatility
The G6 enables intelligent signaling and media interworking across various trunk types, including PRI, T1/E1, Interoffice Trunks, SIP, and H.248 Trunks. It ensures seamless connectivity to Digital Loop through GR-303 support and integrates with Carrier/Access Nodes and TDM switch access line frames like DMS, EWSD, and DCO.
Operational Efficiency with Cost Savings
Robust Security for Safer Networks
The G6 has a hardened security posture for untrusted packet networks, including DoS protection and extensive user-level security.
