Ribbon G6 Universal Media Gateway

Transform Legacy TDM Networks with the G6 Universal Gateway


The Ribbon G6 Universal Gateway cost effectively aggregates and transforms multiple TDM services into a modern IP architecture. The G6 connects to Ribbon’s C20 Call Controller via H.248 gateway control protocol. It’s an ideal solution for service providers or large enterprises that need to seamless transform legacy last mile services and devices

The G6 uses a fraction of the power and space of traditional TDM peripherals. Importantly, the G6 supports remote terminals using GR-303, TR-08, V5.2, or T1/E1 CAS interfaces.  The G6 makes it easy to consolidate hundreds or thousands of remote sites. This means the G6 is ideally suited to transform legacy DMS, 5E, EWSD, AXE, and similar environments. 

The G6 Universal Media Gateway is a NEBS-3, OSMINE, PacketCable and RUS certified media gateway platform enabling service providers to have access and trunking media gateway diversity on one platform.

It’s the cornerstone of network transformations across the globe.

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.
