TMG7800

Revision as of 15:31, 22 October 2009

The TelcoBridges Tmedia™ TMG7800 is a very high capacity, carrier-grade media gateway system that meets the needs of service providers looking to harness the convergence between TDM and IP networks, consolidating multiple racks of devices for call control and media into a single system. The TMG7800 media gateway system provides capacity of up to 32,768 universal voice ports and the flexibility to switch between TDM and IP signaling services such as SS7, ISDN, SIGTRAN, SIP, and H.248, as well as popular media processing codecs across a mix of T1/E1/J1, DS-3 and STM-1 interfaces, all within the same system.

Leveraging TelcoBridges’ TB Media Gateway application, the TMG7800 media gateway system delivers core network services such as VOIP signaling, transcoding, tandem switching and advanced call routing. Offering multiple redundant quad-core Intel Xeon©-based hosts with up to 8TB of local RAID-1 storage, the TMG7800 can run additional applications such as softswitches and session border controllers locally, further answering the need for device consolidation and convergence. With separate chipsets for media processing and interactive voice response (IVR), and signaling performed in hardware, the TMG7800 media gateway provides full non-blocking capability of up to 32,768 channels per system.

Starting from 256 T1/E1s, 12 DS-3s, or 4 STM-1 connections, the TMG7800 media gateway easily scales to a full rack capacity of 1024 T1/E1/J1, 48 DS-3 or 16 STM-1 interfaces as service uptake increases. With an average 66% less power consumption than competing products of similar capacity, the TMG7800 media gateway supports the drive by service providers to reduce the environmental impact of their network footprint and increase their profitability and green credentials.

Features & benefits

Density: Supporting up to 1024 T1/E1/J1, 48 DS-3 or 16 STM-1 interfaces in a single system, the TMG7800 offers significant density in a single rack. The TMG7800 provides up to 32,768 IP voice ports at an industry-leading lowest cost per port. Enables consolidation of multiple disparate signaling and connectivity devices into a single unified system.

High-availability: The TMG7800 features redundancy at multiple layers across all hardware and software elements to ensure maximum uptime and graceful recovery in case of a component failure. Network redundancy is provided with support for multiple redundant links and concurrent SS7 point codes.

Flexibility: A network-agnostic platform, the TMG7800 media gateway supports multiple ‘any-to-any’ switching across multiple network interfaces and signaling protocols (SS7, ISDN, SIGTRAN, SIP and H.248) in a single system. It also supports transcoding for all major wireline, wireless and internet codecs.
