Wikipedia defines a softswitch as, "a central device in a telecommunications network that connects calls from one phone line to another by means of software running on a computer system. This work was formerly carried out by hardware, with physical hardware to route the calls. A softswitch is typically used to control connections at the junction point between circuit and packet networks. A single device containing both the switching logic and the switching fabric can be used for this purpose; however, modern technology has led to a preference for decomposing this device into a [[Softswitch|Call Agent]] and a [[TB_Media_Gateway|Media Gateway]]."<br/> A Softswitch can also be called a Media Gateway Controller (MGC). == TelcoBridges and softswitches == TelcoBridges does not develop softswitches. Instead it works with solution developers and system integrators [http://www.telcobridges.com/afficher.aspx?section=199&langue=en partners] that provide [http://www.telcobridges.com/afficher02.aspx?page=806&langue=en&modeAffichage=0&forceMode=0 softswitch] capabilities developed internally or licensed from a third party. As of October 2014, TelcoBridges media gateways can be controlled via the [[SIP]] protocol or [[H.248]], but not [[H.323]] or [[MGCP]]. == References == *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softswitch Wikipedia article]
