Benefits

• Provides a complete range of solutions to help service providers migrate their networks from TDM to IP
• Network-proven with millions of deployed ports
• Fully redundant with no single point of failure
• Scales easily for low-to-mid sized applications
• Proven interoperability with the world's leading access and core voice platforms in next generation and legacy TDM networks
• Latest generation of media gateway platforms with state-of-the-art system architecture and components

Overview

The G6 provides connectivity at the border between the IP and TDM/circuit-switched networks. The G6 supports multiple solutions including:

• Voice over FTTx: The G6 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
• Network Transformation: With its Packet Line Gateway feature, the G6 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: The G6 is a PacketCable qualified media gateway providing a full range of cable trunking, access, and commercial services
• PBX Trunking: Working with GENBAND's S-Series security platforms, the G6 provides SIP to PRI and SIP to CAS trunking at the service provider IP to TDM border
• IP Trunking: The G6 enables scalable voice trunking between legacy TDM/PSTN and IP networks via MGCP, H.248, and SIP call control
• Network Survivability: With its Emergency Stand Alone feature, the G6 assumes call control if softswitch or IMS core connections are disrupted to TDM or IP endpoints
• Interoperability: The G6 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 G6 is managed with GENView Manager, a robust GUI-based element manager, providing complete FCAPS support. The G6 also has a fully-featured Command Line Manager (CLI)
