KEYMILE adds V5.2 interface to Milegate

MileGate, KEYMILE’s IP-based Multi-Service Access platform, now supports V5.2 interfaces. As a result, with previously-integrated H.248 and SIP Voice-over-IP media gateways, MileGate can offer a complete portfolio for smooth migration of traditional TDM voice transmission to packet-based VoIP technology.

KEYMILE has upgraded its IP-based Multi-Service Access Node (MSAN) MileGate 2500 by adding V5.2 functions. This is achieved with a new V5 converter unit. For analogue and ISDN connections, MileGate can now offer integration into the Next Generation Network (NGN) via SIP, or H.248, and connection to traditional exchanges. The V5.2 data (subscriber traffic and signalling) is exchanged with the switching system via 2 mbps connections.

Consequently, network operators are able to seamlessly migrate their telecommunications networks from TDM-based telephony to VoIP. Operators can continue to use V5.2 exchanges already installed to link up subscribers with analogue and digital telephone connections. This solution supports the subscribers’ existing telecommunications equipment with all the familiar services and features. If network operators replace their switching systems with VoIP soft switches, the Gateway module in MileGate is easily convertible by simply changing the software from V5.2 to a VoIP-Media Gateway with H.248, or SIP signalling.

Thanks to this unique flexibility and ability to implement POTS and ISDN services, MileGate offers maximum support and protection of investments when migrating telecommunications networks.

Network operators in Europe, Asia and South America are opting for the flexibility of MileGate and using the platform with its new functions for their telephony migration concepts.
