Lucent Network Gateway

The Lucent Network Gateway is the media gateway component in Lucent’s IP MultiMedia Subsystem (IMS) Portfolio. As the cornerstone of the converged network, it seamlessly and economically merges the traditional PSTN with proliferating IP networks. Because it is bearer protocol agnostic,

the Network Gateway supports a wide variety of wireline and wireless applications. Converged applications may be combined in the same gateway enabling TDM, ATM and IP access along with traditional TDM trunking to the PSTN/GSTN. The Network Gateway also provides wireless access to the Radio Access Network for both a GSM (A interface) and UMTS (Iu-CS interface) wireless system and may also be used in a 3GPP R5 environment as the media gateway for an IP Multimedia Subsystem.
