Features
& Benefits 
Integrated SS7 and IP Transcoding
Unlike separate trunking gateways and signaling servers, the IMG 1010 enables
VoIP- based services without requiring customers to buy, integrate or manage
expensive third party softswitches and signaling gateways.The IMG 1010 supports
direct SS7 termination across multiple gateways and full, simultaneous
interoperability with PRI, CAS, SS7, SIP and H.323 networks. With signaling,
call routing, call translations and transcoding supported in a single platform,
customers dramatically reduce complexity and overhead.
Wireline and Wireless Support
The IMG 1010 provides AMR, iLBC, G.711, G723, G.729 simultaneously for the
ultimate voice compatibility. Built-in transcoding allows on-the-fly conversion
between any of these voice codecs.
The IMG supports ENUM which takes VoIP calling to the next level. With ENUM native SIP users, even at different VoIP service providers, can call each other directly without ever touching a PSTN service which can result in faster connection times and lower phone charges.
High-Density, Scalable Architecture
With its high-density architecture supporting up to 1024 channels in a 1U
footprint, the IMG 1010 can significantly reduce co-location costs compared to
more complex multi-box alternatives. In addition, the IMG’s scalable
architecture allows customers to start with as
few as 96 channels and scale up to 1024 in the same 1U form factor, as well as
combine and manage up to 16 IMG 1010s with the GateControl Element Management
System (GC EMS). The IMG and the GC EMS are designed to work together to
minimize operational costs and make it easier to manage VoIP gateways.
Cantata’s GC EMS enables customers to easily manage a network of IMGs from a
central location — configuring equipment, adding capacity, building routing
and translation tables and managing SS7 connectivity. Support of industry
standard MIBs for Alarms, Interface and DS0/DS1/DS3 allows centralized
configuration and monitoring in a network operations center.
Simplified Implementation
Because the IMG 1010 integrates signaling and media capabilities, it simplifies
new service implementation significantly, eliminates call hand-offs and
re-direction from box to box, speeds integration of enhanced services and
improves call setup time. As networks migrate to an all-IP infrastructure, the
IMG 1010, with its simultaneous support of TDM-to-IP and IP-to-IP calls,
dramatically reduces the number of gateways required. The IMG 1010 is
cost-effective for both entry-level and large network configurations. System
architecture and a unified OAM&P platform enable cost-effective rack and
stack deployments that are managed as a single large gateway, with redundant SS7
connectivity and small failure groups, providing a solution that approaches
99.999% uptime.
Carrier-Grade Design
The IMG 1010 is a NEBS 3 carrier-grade design that employs independent network
interfaces to separate transport, signaling and OAM&P to provide high
reliability and service availability. In addition, the IMG 1010 allows service
providers to make "in- service" capacity upgrades, as well as
cost-effectively scale the system to hundreds of T1/E1 spans while maintaining a
simple management interface.
The IMG 1010 works with load balancers to provide better distribution of SIP traffic for improved scalability and fault tolerance. On all counts, the IMG 1010 is a true carrier grade gateway solution.
Programmable Protocol Language
Cantata's patented Programmable Protocol Language (PPL) enables customers to
implement SS7 and SIP changes themselves, quickly and efficiently.
