GSM-ISDN BRI Gateway

Introduction

GSM networks are widespread. And ISDN PBXs are omnipresent. It is necessary for the businesses using ISDN PBXs to provide GSM connectivity to their users. This allows them to dynamically select one of the networks on per-call basis for obvious benefits of cost and quality of service (QoS).

The GSM Gateway for ISDN PBX System
Matrix SIMADO GBR is a gateway to interface GSM and ISDN BRI networks. Existing PBX users can avail the benefit of the low-tariff of GSM networks by connecting SIMADO GBR with the PBX without changing their existing infrastructure. The users continue to make and receive calls without worrying on which network their calls are routed. Matrix SIMADO GBR routes the calls either on ISDN or GSM network depending on the dialed destination numbers and on the type of routing option selected by the users.

Intelligent and flexible routing is the forte of the SIMADO GBR. Various Least Cost Routing (LCR) schemes are offered. The elaborate routing algorithm encompasses different attributes like Port, Calling Number, Called Number and Time. It selects the most cost-effective route for a given number at specified time. In addition, it allows the flexibility of reserving ports for important users. Numbers received from calling network are converted by Automatic Number Translation (ANT) to match with the destination network.

The SIMADO GBR is also very easy to install and operate. Jeeves is a Windows based multi-lingual GUI tool used to configure various parameters. The SIM cards can be accessed after removing its top cover. Antenna mixer (4 to 1) is built-in and hence only single antenna is required. The SIMADO GBR can be mounted on a wall or a table-top.

The Stand-alone ISDN BRI Gateway
Matrix SIMADO GBR is a gateway to interface GSM and ISDN BRI networks. It offers 4/2 GSM and 2/1 ISDN BRI ports. On the GSM side, it supports GSM Quad-Band and 3G Tri-Band operation, allowing it to work with any GSM/3G network. The ISDN BRI port supports both TE and NT modes. Depending on the destination number dialed and defined least cost routing logics, a call can either be placed through the GSM port or via the ISDN BRI line. The Multiple GSM port and programmable TE/NT ports make SIMADO GBR ideal to be used as a stand-alone unit.
