Excel’s Integrated Media Gateway (IMG) 1010 is a powerful, efficient, carrier-grade VoIP media gateway that performs two-way protocol conversion between circuit-switched networks like the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and packet-switched networks like the Internet. This VoIP media gateway provides service providers and enterprises with unparalleled price performance, reliability, and flexibility. The Integrated Media Gateway reduces the cost and complexity of implementing new services by combining PSTN and packet signaling, SS7 continuity tests, and media (tones and announcements) in a cost-effective, easy-to-manage, compact (1u) shelf.
Flexibility and Interoperability
You can use the Integrated Media Gateway as a VoIP Gateway, VoIP Transcoder, or back-to-back SIP User Agent. The IMG 1010 ensures interoperability with a wide range of VoIP networks by simultaneously supporting Channel Associated Signaling (R1/R2), Primary Rate Interface (PRI) and SS7, plus the packet network protocols SIP and H.323. You can implement protocol changes yourself quickly and efficiently, using Excel's patented Programmable Protocol Language (PPL). The Integrated Media Gateway supports advanced media capabilities without impacting VoIP channel processing.
Reduced Capital Expenses, Faster Time to Market
This VoIP media gateway lowers initial cost because it supports full interoperability between SS7, SIP, and H.323 across multiple gateways. So you can roll out new enhanced telecommunication offerings without buying, integrating, or managing third party softswitches, signaling gateways, application servers, media servers, proxy servers, or registration servers. While the Integrated Media Gateway can be configured for cost-effective entry-level requirements, it also allows you to seamlessly scale and gracefully upgrade your networks. And by using a single platform to provide rich application services across multiple networks, you significantly reduce the time, effort, and expense required to develop and deploy new services.
Reduced Operational Expenses
The Integrated Media Gateway 1010 also directly lowers your ongoing expenses. With signaling and media supported in a single platform, the cost and complexity of implementing new services is reduced, as are training, sparing, OA&M, environmental, service agreement, and other costs that increase each time a new platform is deployed. And because the Integrated Media Gateway 1010 supports up to 672 channels in a 1U footprint, it can reduce rack space costs by up to 50%.
