Alcatel-Lucent 7510 Media Gateway
The high-capacity Alcatel-Lucent 7510 Media Gateway (MGW) builds a service-aware edge for voice, fax and data
in user-centric broadband networks by providing any-to-any media switching and interworking for circuit and
IP ports. As a member of the Alcatel-Lucent 7500-series of multiservice MGWs, it allows flexible rollout of PSTN
migration and new IP services in both the metro-transit and the local-access layers of the Alcatel-Lucent IP
Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) solutions as well as any multivendor next-generation network.
Multiservice media networking
The Alcatel-Lucent 7510 MGW builds
high business value based on multiservice flexibility across six dimensions:
• Multiple services: supports end-user
services ranging from toll-quality
voice to multimedia streams
• Multiple solutions: provides a single
platform for hosting key medianetworking solutions ranging from
plain TDM switching over Voice
over IP (VoIP) trunking, digital loop
carrier (DLC) and Private Branch
Exchange (PBX) access to session
border peering and Signaling
Gateway (SGW) applications
• Multiple sizes: allows seamless scaling
of production services across a wide
capacity range without compromising
essential attributes such as cost per
channel, resilience and interface
feature compatibility
• Multiple standards: offers an
IMS-compliant interface to the
service-delivery platform based on
the leading protocol standards,
Megaco/H.248 and Signaling
Transport (SIGTRAN)
• Multiple softswitches: provides
interworking that is also proven with
non-Alcatel-Lucent softswitches
• Multiple switching options: maintains
Quality of Service (QoS) by switching
the media natively, through IP or TDM,
without excess transcoding stages
As shown in Figure 1, the Alcatel-Lucent
7510 MGW is the cornerstone of any
user-centric broadband network.
Key features
Key benefits
• Multiservice: converged platform
capable of hosting VoIP trunking,
access and session-border applications concurrently; integrates key
IMS functions such as IMS media
gateway (IMS-MGW), trunking media
gateway function (T-MGF), Interconnect Border Gateway Function (IBGF),
Centralized Access Border Gateway
Function (C-BGF) and SGW
• High scalability: allows flexible use
of generic slots for pooled media
resource and interface cards
• Multivendor networking: complies
with the IMS profiles for signaling and
control protocols, Megaco/H.248
and SIGTRAN
• Carrier grade: provides toll-quality
voice services with highest availability
(100-percent hitless redundancy)
