Dialogic IMG - IMG 1010 - An Overview of SS7 on the IMG

For SS7 specifications see IMG 1010 - SS7 Functionality Specifications 1010 and 1004

The IMG evolves as your network evolves. The Integrated Media Gateway (IMG) supports Sangoma's “pay as you grow” philosophy which significantly lowers the high initial costs of an SS7 deployment. The IMG not only grows, but evolves as Service Provider and OEM network requirements evolve, combining open and programmable signalling with:

• High port density

• Integrated routing functionality

• Cost effective, purpose-built gateway hardware

• Programmable protocol language that allows customization of TDM variants

The IMG streamlines networks and reduces up-front costs by integrating SS7 signaling, VoIP, and Routing into a single 1U chassis, replacing three network elements: the SS7 Signalling Server, the Trunking Gateway, and the Gatekeeper. The IMG combines the SS7 Signaling Server and Trunking Gateway functionality in one intelligent gateway, and with Sangoma’s built-in routing technology, a separate VoIP Gatekeeper becomes optional.

Integrated SS7 & IP Transcoding

Unlike separate trunking gateways and signaling servers, the IMG enables VoIP-based services without requiring customers to buy, integrate or manage expensive third party softswitches and signaling gateways. The IMG supports direct SS7 termination across multiple gateways and full, simultaneous interoperability with SS7, SIP and H.323 networks. With signaling, call routing / translations and transcoding supported in a single platform, customers dramatically reduce complexity and overhead.
