Scalability
means that one can build up the solution cost effectively, by adding another
device for each extra pair of mobile channels required. Flexibility means that, while
previous convergence equipment from Rohde & Schwarz Topex S.A. did provide tens
of VoIP and GSM channels on the same location, the new product allows one to build a
distributed
solution, with individual MobiLinkIP devices located exactly where it is
needed in different countries or even continents.
To extend the range
While the analogue or digital MobiLink equipment allowed connections to phone
terminals or PBX’s located a few meters or up to 1000m away, with MobiLinkIP the
length of the connection becomes infinite. The mobile gateway may be located
anywhere in the world and still perform an interface task.
Support, debugging and firmware upgrading can also be performed faster and from a
longer distance. Previous versions of the MobiLink were connected to a local computer
via serial RS-232 or USB cable for management. With MobiLink IP, management of the
device is done remotely, by means of the Web interface. You can send /receive
multiple SMS messages, register users, define routing rules, perform diagnostic or
update / change the firmware. Previously, these operations had to be performed from
the computer connected to MobiLink, using the OAM program!
With this new MobiLink IP, the management computer can be in anywhere in the
world. The professional who performs debug or update of firmware connects to
it remotely, over IP networks, and performs all tasks of operation, administration
and management via Web interface.
Intended use
MobiLink IP was also intended to be a complimentary product for the line of Class 4 &
Class 5 Rohde & Schwarz Topex S.A. Soft-switches, allowing cost-effective access to
mobile networks for the SIP users registered to the Rohde & Schwarz Topex S.A. IP-
PBX.
Using the MobiLink IP can be beneficial for home users too, but it was intended for
office use
, both for companies that have many foreign affiliates and for small to
medium companies that already own an IP infrastructure. Companies with international
offices can use one or several MobiLink IP devices at each location - the calls will be
routed as VoIP via Internet to the respective locations where they will be
terminated
as
local GSM calls to the respective mobile networks, with minimum costs.
Enterprises with existing IP infrastructure will use the MobiLink devices to
terminate
the calls to mobile networks, achieving substantial savings on outgoing and incoming
calls from IP to GSM networks and vice versa.
It can also be used by providers, ensuring low-cost call termination at different
locations throughout the world. VoIP calls originating from anywhere can be sent via
Internet to be
terminated
through MobiLinkIP devices located at the corresponding
sites. The respective MobiLinkIP devices will then directs the calls to the required local
GSM network, with the minimum possible cost.
Flexible Usage
MobiLinkIP can be used in several ways:
-
with an IP PBX that has SIP subscribers;
-
with hardware SIP telephones,
-
with soft phones, such as the free application SJ Phone.
In order to ensure correct installation/configuration and good operation of the MobiLink IP
device, the manufacturer strongly recommends the study of this manual before attempting
operation.
