The GTW-2200 is a carrier-grade signaling converter and media gateway that meets the needs of service providers, solution developers, and system integrators looking to cost-effectively expand their network footprint and deploy enhanced value-added services. With the ability to easily add additional hardware capacity and functionality with field-upgradable modular hardware components, and perform software license upgrades without rebooting the system, the 1U form factor GTW-2200 media gateway provides the reliability and responsiveness that leading-edge service providers require to deliver on their aggressive growth plans. A single GTW-2200 media gateway unit provides capacity of 2,048 voice ports and the flexibility to mix and match TDM and IP across T1/E1/J1, DS-3 and STM-1 interfaces.

Whether sitting at the network core or the edge, the GTW-2200 provides essential media gateway functionality allowing it to bridge TDM and IP networks, intermediate between various wireless, PSTN and IP voice protocols, and deliver hosted IP-PBX, Fax over IP, SIP trunking and other advanced services. Leveraging the GTW Toolpack™ media gateway software, on-board application server, and built-in storage (compact flash drive or SATA disk), the GTW-2200 media gateway provides a low footprint approach to developing and provisioning unique subscriber-specific services and value-added applications such as unified communications, ring-back tones, and prepaid / postpaid services. With separate chipsets for signalling, voice processing and interactive voice response (IVR), the GTW-2200 media gateway provides true full channel availability.

Offering the industry-leading highest port density and the lowest operating cost for a media gateway in a 1U form factor, the GTW-2200 media gateway easily scales as service uptake increases, with expansion cards for IVR, VoIP and TDM. With an average 2/3rds less power consumption than competing products of similar capacity, the GTW-2200 media gateway supports the drive by service providers to reduce the environmental impact of their network footprint and increase their green credentials.
