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
