TB Media Gateway (TBMG) is a full-featured media gateway application that works with TelcoBridges' family of [[Tmedia|media gateway]] and [[value-added services]] (VAS) [[Tdev|development platforms]] to provide core media gateway functionality.

== Functions ==
TB Media Gateway supports the following core media gateway functionality:
*'''[[Switching]]'''
**TB Media Gateway provides switching support for both [[TDM]] and [[VoIP]]-based networks. It provides support for switching calls between [[class 4]] and [[class 5]] switches on TDM networks, switching calls between TDM and VoIP networks, as well as support for [[hairpinning]] on VoIP networks
*'''[[Transcoding]]'''
**TB Media Gateway offers support for all major wireline, wireless and IP [[voice codecs]].
*'''[[Trunking]]'''
**TB Media Gateway can terminate multiple trunks from multiple different service providers ...
*'''[[Signaling]]'''
**TB Media Gateway supports concurrent use of and switching between the SS7, ISDN, SIP and SIGTRAN* signaling protocols.
*'''[[Accounting]]'''
**TB Media Gateway supports the [[RADIUS]] accounting standard for the creation and storage of [[Call detail record|call detail records]]. These can be imported into dedicated billing and reconciliation applications.
*'''[[Call routing|Routing]]'''
**TB Media Gateway supports a variety of call routing functions, such as least-cost routing; percentage-based routing; as well as routing based on variables such as call origin, call destination, time of day, etc. TB Media Gateway also features the ability to write and edit rules via a high-level scripting language. Call routes can be created in a word processor, pasted into the web portal, and tested without the need for application compilation or system reboot.

==Components==
TB Media Gateway is comprised of three main elements:
*The '''first component''', [[Web Portal|Toolpack Web Portal]], is used to configure the inputs used to drive media gateway functionality. These include the number and types of network interfaces connected to the device(depending upon the model, ranging from 1 to 64 T1/E1/J1 interfaces, 1-3 [[DS-3]] interfaces, 1 [[STM-1]] interface, or Ethernet) ; the active [[signaling protocols]] (such as [[SS7]], [[ISDN]], [[SIP]], [[SIGTRAN]]), the active services ([[MTP2 Layer|MTP2]], [[MTP3 Layer|MTP3]], [[ISUP]], [[SCCP]], [[M2UA]], [[M3UA]] and others).
*The '''second component''' of TB Media Gateway is the run-time application which manages call legs and ...
*The '''third component''', [[Toolpack Application:toolpack engine|Toolpack Engine]], manages the conversion between signaling protocols and [[voice codecs]] required to connect calls between different end-user devices. The power and complexity of Toolpack Engine is hidden from view; it interacts directly with the run-time application.

(WILL DEVELOP AND INSERT A SCHEMATIC SHOWING THE THREE COMPONENTS OF TB MEDIA GATEWAY)

== System configuration ==
TB Media Gateway is designed to run either on the internal host of the [[Tmedia]] family of products or via an external host allied with the [[Tdev]] family of products.

== Advanced functionality ==
*TB Media Gateway is provided with full source code for the application component only. This allows you to enhance the functionality to take advantage of additional capabilities of the Tmedia or Tdev hardware, such as the optional VoIP and IVR mezzanine boards.
*Tmedia and Tdev devices support the deployment of additional applications and services alongside the core media gateway functionality. These include:
*[[Ringback tones]]
*[[Conferencing]]
*[[Voicemail]]
*[[Unified communications]]
*[[SMS messaging]]
*and many others
