CGW-P Installation and Operation Manual

Introduction
1.1 Overview
CGW-P is cellular gateway, which provides flexible integration connectivity between two
communication networks: fixed office exchange (PBX) and cellular networks. The main
objective of the cellular gateway is to perform the following tasks:

Decrease company costs for telephone usage.

Provide the company with cellular communication in cases when regular land
communication (PSTN) is unavailable.

CGW-P connection architecture enables to connect gateway to the PBX PRI interface and create
conditions for integration with the available cellular networks, as displayed in Figure 1-1.

 CGW-P Installation and Operation Manual

By establishing connection directly with the cellular operator, the user by-passes the high costs
of internet-network connections (PSTN  Cellular). CGW-P can be integrated with the fixed
office exchange using a PRI interface with traditional signaling and provides call management
for releasing outgoing and incoming calls to and from the PBX internal extensions. For this
purpose the CGW-P gateway includes a PRI module, which can be easily adjusted by the
system administrator and adapted to the existing office PBX PRI interface. CGW-P enables to
route outgoing internal office PBX extension calls to the required cellular network, and from
another side it enables to route incoming cellular network calls to the required PBX extension.
CGW-P functionality is based on the PBX switch, where each call request can be handled
according to user-defined rules.

It is possible to integrate the CGW-P gateway with one or multiple cellular networks through a
registration procedure and establish outgoing and incoming connections using call proceeding
procedures. For this purpose, CGW-P includes cellular modules equipped with cellular engines
that operate according to an internal firmware algorithm.

When establishing an outgoing or incoming connection, the CGW-P serves as a functional

communication part, which provides the required signaling to the PBX PRI side and cellular
network side. FFF displays an example of the outgoing call and CGW-P functionality (Figure 1-
2).
