 Applications I-Gate 4000 PRO™

Static Trunking Solutions

Despite continuing decreases in bandwidth
costs, there are still many international routes
and national long-distance networks where
transmission prices are high or the available
transmission bandwidth is limited. For telecom
operators carrying voice traffic over costly or
bandwidth-limited transmission links, static
trunking systems provide a unique solution
that ensures substantial savings on bandwidth,
equipment, and operations, more efficient
utilization of the deployed network resources, and
new opportunities for improved competitiveness
and increasing profitability.
Typical applications that can benefit from static
trunking include:
• Transmission of long-distance international and
domestic telephony traffic
• Interconnection of MSC switches in mobile
networks
• Backhaul transmission between MSC switches
and POI’s (Points of Interconnection) to the
PSTN
• Call Centers/Business Process Outsourcing
• Backup protection networks

Savings
In static trunking solutions, the traffic
transmitted between PSTN and/or MSC
switches is compressed by an I-Gate 4000 PRO
system connected to one of the switches and
decompressed at the remote I-Gate 4000 system
connected to the second switch. The compressed
traffic can be carried over IP or TDM networks.
With the I-Gate 4000 PRO, carriers can build
one IP transport network and use it for both
voice and data — enjoying the cost-efficiencies
of converged IP transport prior to undertaking a
full-fledged network migration. Carriers can use
their existing IP infrastructure and bypass the TDM
transmission core without compromising existing
quality or stability, while preserving PSTN switch
investment (e.g. switches and OSS).
Since the same I-Gate 4000 PRO system can be
used for both static trunking and softswitch-
controlled VoIP services, the I-Gate 4000 PRO
offers a unique, smooth evolution path from
traditional TDM switches and transmission links
to all-IP next-generation networks. Carriers with a
TDM switching infrastructure can initially leverage
the I-Gate 4000 PRO static trunking capabilities
to lower costs by transporting voice over their
packet-based data networks. Utilizing the same
infrastructure, carriers can then migrate to a more
flexible and cost-effective switched IP network by
adding a softswitch platform to their network.

Inter-MSC and POI Solutions

Mobile Network
Point-of-Interconnection
A significant number of calls between mobile
phones and PSTN phones require transport I-Gate I-Gate
through the PSTN long-distance switching and 4000 EDGE 4000 EDGE
transmission infrastructure. The mobile network
operator often has to pay the wireline operator
very high fees for long-distance service. By
using a static trunking solution that compresses
the traffic between the MSC site and a Point-
of-Interconnection (POI) site near the local
PSTN switch, the mobile operator can achieve
significant savings by avoiding the need to pay I-Gate I-Gate I-Gate
long-distance fees. 4000 PRO 4000 PRO 4000 EDGE

Static Trunking in Satellite and
Radiolink Applications
The I-Gate 4000 PRO’s high-compression
techniques and voice quality protection
mechanisms provide a unique, cost-effective
solution for satellite and radiolink routes over
TDM or IP links. An I-Gate 4000 PRO static
trunking solution can be deployed either in a
single-route point-to-point configuration, or in
a point-to-multipoint configuration (supporting
multiple bearer links), thus handling traffic to
multiple destinations. Furthermore, the smart
End-to-End Compression feature contributes
to additional CAPEX and OPEX savings in
applications encompassing call paths through
several compression and decompression
segments (hops).
As the I-Gate 4000 PRO supports an in-band
management feature, the management traffic
can be carried through the same bearer link that
interconnects two distant sites, thus allowing
the operator to manage all the remote I-Gate
terminals from a central (hub) site, with no need
for separate management links.
In addition, the embedded cross-connect feature,
which supports any-to-any cross-connection
between TDM 64 kbps DS0 channels, allows
operators to minimize overall expenses in
applications requiring interconnection to multiple
narrow-bandwidth (thin-route) satellite links and
in ring-topology microwave applications including
drop/insert nodes.

Softswitch-based Packet Toll/Tandem & Other Services

The I-Gate 4000 PRO can be controlled by a
softswitch using MGCP, H.248/Megaco, and
SIGTRAN. Through standards support, the
I-Gate 4000 PRO enables carriers to deploy
next-generation VoIP switching solutions for
applications like domestic and international long-
distance services, wireline or wireless network
tandem switching, Class 4 switch replacement,
and PRI trunking. With simultaneous support for
a wide range of PSTN trunk interfaces (E1, T1,
DS3, OC3, STM-1), the I-Gate 4000 PRO enables
carriers to deploy these services while seamlessly
interconnecting to the existing transmission
infrastructure.
