G2 Compact Gateway

The G2™ Compact Gateway is a carrier class, multipurpose gateway in an environmentally hardened, small form factor chassis. Purpose-built for highly reliable VoIP, the G2 uses the latest generation of advanced, all-in-one DSPs and platform architecture for high quality VoIP and fax/modem handling. A NEBS Level 3 certified platform, the G2 is fully redundant, produced in a TL9000 quality system and deployable in ILEC, PTT, RLEC, CLEC, and MSO networks. The G2 is stackable and scales to 24 E1/PRI/T1s (to 720 DS0s) in a 2RU chassis.
 

A compact universal gateway, the G2 provides connectivity at the border between the IP and TDM/circuit switched networks. Highly versatile, the G2 advances VoIP in service provider and enterprise networks supporting multiple solutions including:

• Voice over FTTx: The G2 interworks V5.2, GR-303, and TR-08 with IP protocols including MGCP and H.248, allowing local exchange circuit switches to provide voice services in GPON, IP DSLAM, and other IP-based access networks; E1/T1/PRI over FTTx is also supported via PseudoWire Emulation over IP
• C.O. Modernization: With its Packet Line Gateway feature, the G2 allows NGN softswitches and IMS cores to control customer lines on access platforms like Digital Loop Carriers (DLCs), Access Nodes (ANs) and proprietary local exchange line frames and remotes
• Cable VoIP: Sharing the software code base of the PacketCable qualified G6 platform, the G2 provides a full range of cable trunking, access, and commercial services
• PBX Trunking: Working with GENBAND's S-Series security platforms, the G2 provides SIP to PRI and SIP to CAS trunking at the enterprise or service provider border
• IP Trunking: The G2 enables voice trunking between legacy TDM/PSTN and IP networks via MGCP, H.248, and SIP call control where a smaller form factor is required
• Network Survivability: With its Emergency Stand Alone feature, the G2 provides call control if softswitch or IMS core connections are disrupted to TDM or IP endpoints

Interoperability: The G2 is compatible with IMS, TISPAN NGN, MSF, and PacketCable networks, and interoperable with the world's leading softswitches, circuit switches, SIP application servers, GENBAND border gateways, IP and TDM access equipment, and CPE.

Management: The GenView EMS is a robust GUI-based element manager for the G2, providing complete FCAPS support, and the G2 also has a fully-featured Command Line Manager (CLI).
