Zhone | Products | MALC-VG | MALC Voice Gateway

The MALC is a full-featured Broadband Loop Carrier (BLC) optimized for delivering voice, data, and video services over a pure packet access network. MALC gives carriers the flexibility to cost-effectively deliver triple play services over existing facilities today and to migrate these services pure packet network. This migration is accomplished without disrupting subscriber service or revenue streams, giving carriers the ultimate flexibility for optimizing their networks and serving their subscribers.

The MALC Voice Gateway line cards provide 8 and 32 Port options supporting connections to GR-303 and V5.2 voice switches.

The Voice Gateway card can be installed in the MALC chassis with either the GigE Uplinks or ATM Uplinks providing significant investment protection for future network migration. When in a MALC chassis with the ATM uplinksthe voice gateway supports Broadband Loop Emulation Service (BLES) to either GR-303 or V5.2 signals as well as Emulation Loop Control Protocol (ELCP) to V5.2 signals on the local exchange switch.

When the Voice Gateway card is installed in a MALC with the GigE Uplinks it supports Session Initiation Protocol Private Line Automatic Ringdown (SIP-PLAR) to either GR-303 or V5.2 signals on the local exchange switch.
