The Alcatel-Lucent 5020 Media Gateway Controller – 8 (MGC-8), a key component of the Alcatel-Lucent

Next-Generation Network (NGN)/IP Call Server (ICS) and Session Control portfolio, offers carriers flexible and

cost-effective network renovation and IP network transformation. This product supports multiple applications,

including NGN Class 4 local, access and toll tandems, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) Gateway Mobile

Switching Center (GMSC) and IMS Media Gateway Control Function (MGCF).

The Alcatel-Lucent 5020 MGC-8 provides the MGCF for TDM and Voice over IP (VoIP) networks with any-to-any switching, including TDM to TDM, TDM to IP, and IP to IP, while delivering a full range of local, access and toll tandem services and protocols. Carriers can integrate the signal transfer and endpoint functionality in the same chassis, or deploy a standalone Alcatel-Lucent 5025 Voice Signaling Gateway (VSG).

To optimize the routing of incoming Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) calls, the Alcatel-Lucent MGC-8 supports CDMA GMSC functionality. By consolidating the network inter-connection points and optimizing call routing, the Alcatel-Lucent CDMA GMSC can significantly reduce the carrier’s capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operational expenditures (OPEX). The Alcatel-Lucent CDMA GMSC simplifies network engineering, expansion and maintenance.

The Alcatel-Lucent MGC-8 provides IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) MGCF functionality, acting as a seamless bridge between the new converged multiservice networks and the legacy PSTN. By supporting the MGCF inside, the Alcatel-Lucent MGC-8 offers carriers an investment for the all-IP evolution.

The Alcatel-Lucent MGC-8 keeps the network flexible, cost effective and easy to maintain; it provides carrier-class reliability, scalability and performance.
