Multiservice Media Gateways: Meeting U.S. Federal Government Next-Generation Network Infrastructure Needs

The U.S. Federal Government is increasing its use of multimedia, collaboration, and social networking applications. As these applications demand additional bandwidth as well as secure, next-generation network infrastructure, the challenge for the U.S. Federal Government is how to maximize the use of its existing, separate networks to reduce costs and expenditures – while at the same time fulfilling the evolving connectivity and communications requirements of the users of its networks.

When implementing new communications and networking technologies, the U.S. Federal Government typically takes an evolutionary approach as opposed to a revolutionary approach. It looks for ways to leverage the capabilities of its legacy systems while making needed infrastructure upgrades that result in a more reliable network, increased efficiency and effectiveness of new applications, and a scalable technology upgrade path for the future.

Multiservice Media Gateways: Essential to Mission-Critical Broadband Access and Convergence

Multiservice Media Gateways provide broadband access and convergence in the mission-critical access to edge space, enabling the delivery of voice, video, and data services rapidly with a single, cost-effective edge and access platform. Connecting legacy networks and next-generation communications technologies, Multiservice Media Gateways enable the same high-density scalable platform to be leveraged to easily migrate to next-generation mobility and wireline networks.

Instead of the many boxes of equipment required by the traditional multiple platform solution, a multiservice office built using a new single platform Multiservice Media Gateway solution requires only one type of equipment to support both voice and data services; this reduces operating costs and expenditures as the network simplification reduces the cost of equipment and floorspace.

For the U.S. Federal Government, key benefits of Multiservice Media Gateways include the following:

• A single, scalable, and highly available solution that can be used for intelligent voice and data aggregation, call control, high-density transport, or simple multiplexing
• Costs of building and deploying new broadband networks are reduced while maintaining full compatibility with existing infrastructures
• New services can be rapidly introduced
• Operations and network complexity is simplified by collapsing multiple technologies into a single, scalable platform that is centrally managed
• Current investments are protected as the migration to tomorrow’s infrastructure is underway, with a rich selection of interfaces and advanced protocols
