Hybrid Voice Gateway
Telecommunications Americas, March, 2005
Zhone
In the drive to IP, the saying for incumbent carriers is still one of evolution, not revolution. Building on the success of its converged last-mile solution set, Zhone Technologies has introduced its VoiceFLEX Voice Gateway module for the MALC (Multi-Access Line Concentrator) product line that will enable carriers to migrate from TDM to packet on their terms. With this new feature set, the MALC enables a full suite of voice, data and video services over circuit or packet-based networks with TDM support for both GR-303 and V5.2, ATM support for AAL2 and ELCP as well as VoIP support for SIP and MGCP standard implements--all in one platform.
VoiceFLEX will allow Zhone's customers to deploy the MALC as a remote loop carrier or CO terminal. As a CO terminal, the MALC, when combined with the VoiceFLEX gateway, can reduce the required number of interface groups on the switch, providing capacity for over 52,000 subscribers in one 19-inch chassis.
The MALC with VoiceFLEX can be configured to deliver a range of narrow-band and broadband services for residential and business subscribers. They include traditional TDM POTS, specials, T1/E1, DSL, Ethernet and PON. Such capability allows a carrier to migrate to VoIP without impacting current services, and deliver new services over existing lines.
