The Alcatel-Lucent 7549 Media Gateway (MGW) forms an integral part of the Alcatel-Lucent Mobile NGN 
Solution, delivering a dramatically simplified architecture as well as seamlessly evolving to an IP Multimedia 
Subsystem (IMS). A high-density, multiservice media gateway with voice and data-bearer interfaces, including 
TDM, IP and ATM, the Alcatel-Lucent 7549 MGW is capable of performing any-to-any switching, including 
native TDM-to-TDM, native packet-to-packet and TDM-to-packet. 

Features

•  Purpose-built, high-capacity, multi-

fabric media gateway for mobile 
service providers 

•  Innovative generation of gateway tech-

nology with integrated media server, 
integrated signaling gateway (iSGW) 
and 3GPP

 InterWorking Function (iIWF) 

•  M3UA-based iSGW card performs 

reliable SS7-to-IP interworking SIG-
TRAN as well as limited SS7-to-SS7 
functionality STP

•  Support for multiple interfaces with 

ATM, TDM and IP 

•  Extensive set of GSM/UMTS and IMS 

features, CODECs and interfaces, in-
cluding IPBCP, DTMF, congerencing, 
tones, annoucements, FRO and TrFO, 
and VQEs

•  Integrated Wireless Element Manager 

(WEM) in the Alcatel-Lucent 5060 
Wireless Call Server (WCS) manages 
both the Alcatel-Lucent 5060 WCS 
and Alcatel-Lucent 7549 MGW

•  Highly reliable MGW based on field-

proven software

 Available Q3 2009

Benefits

•  Reduced CAPEX and time to market 

through modular, distributed archi-
tecture, offering efficient rollouts 

•  High-capacity media gateway with 

small footprint, dramatically reducing 
real estate requirements

•  Integrated features reduce network 

elements and simplify network  
management 

•  iSGW card provides built-in, cost- 

effective SGW capability for both 
TDM and IP networks

•  Latest technology voice-server card 

with integrated digital signal proces-
sing, echo cancellation and media 
processing resources

•  iIWF resides on existing card, avoid-

ing a specialized chassis or card 
that increases footprint or dimin-
ishes capacity 

•  Seamless migration from 2G to 3G 

and IMS

•  Media optimization and transcoder-

free capabilities ensure high voice 
quality 

•  Ease of integration into existing 

networks 

•  Field-proven MGW reduces network 

outages and operating costs
