Operators of wholesale and retail long-distance networks are migrating their legacy trunking networks to VoIP-based next-generation networks (NGNs) to reduce operating costs and enhance service flexibility. At the same time, VoIP service providers are looking for a cost-effective solution to connect their networks to the PSTN.
Essentra CX, SIP-SS7 media gateway controller is a scalable, carrier-grade SIP-based MGC that offers high-quality voice services,carrier-grade reliability and maximum service flexibility. With its open interfaces to non-proprietary media devices and application servers, Essentra CX facilitates the creation of best-of-breed network solutions.
Essentra CX is offered in two configuration options:
1. An integrated media gateway and signaling gateway controlled by the Essentra CX, a solution well suited for deployments requiring fewer E1/T1 spans and signaling links.
2. The Essentra SG signaling gateway and a separate media gateway both controlled by the Essentra CX, this solution enables increased E1/T1 capacity and signaling links.
Essentra CX enables smooth migration to NGNs, while maintaining seamless connectivity to PSTN services. In addition to controlling the media gateways, Essentra CX features intelligent call control, an advanced routing engine, and SS7/PRI signaling support. A flexible and scalable solution, Essentra CX facilitates the deployment and migration of existing networks to NGNs.
Taking advantage of a large SS7 protocol library and supporting industry-standard control and signaling protocols, including Megaco/H.248, MGCP, SS7/ISUP, ISDN PRI and SIGTRAN(M3UA and IUA). Essentra CX provides service providers with the capability to seamlessly route voice and data calls between the PSTN and SIP-based packet networks. Supporting both traditional and converged services, Essentra CX is the ideal SIP-to-PSTN solution for today's carriers.
