GL Enhances MEGACO (H.248) Protocol Emulator for TDM-IP Gateway Simulation

GL Communications Inc., announced today its enhanced MEGACO (H.248) Protocol Emulator referred to as MAPS™ MEGACO (H.248) Emulator that simulates Trunking Gateway (TGW) and Residential Gateway (RGW) in hybrid TDM-IP network.

Gaithersburg, MD, May 24, 2017 --(PR.com)-- GL Communications Inc., announced today its enhanced MEGACO (H.248) Protocol Emulator referred to as MAPS™ MEGACO (H.248) Emulator that simulates Trunking Gateway (TGW) and Residential Gateway (RGW) in hybrid TDM-IP network.

Speaking to the press, Mr. Jagdish Vadalia, a Senior Manager for product development of the company said, “The MEGACO/H.248 is a signaling and call control protocol used between the Media Gateway Controller (MGC) and Media Gateway (MG). The MGC uses MEGACO/H.248 to instruct MG about the events, media, signals to be played on Terminations, to create a Context, and to audit the status of the Terminations involved in the conversion of media from one type of network, to the media required in other type of the network.”

He added, “GL’s MAPS™ MEGACO (H.248) Protocol Emulator supports Trunking Gateway and Residential Gateway simulation using binary based H.248 protocol and text based MEGACO protocol in Digital and Analog networks respectively. The binary encoding is based on Basic Encoding Rules (BER) description of the protocol and text encoding is based on Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) description.”

Mr. Vadalia further added, “MEGACO/H.248 is a signalling and call control protocol used between the MGC and MG for supporting multimedia stream transmission. Different types of gateways may implement Terminations that have differing characteristics. Variations in Terminations are accommodated in the protocol by allowing Terminations to have optional Properties, Events, Signals and Statistics implemented by MGs. To achieve MG/MGC interoperability, such options are grouped into Packages, and typically a Termination realizes a set of such Packages. The supported MEGACO/H.248 Packages are: Analog Line Supervision Package, RTP Package, Generic Package, DTMF Detection Package, Call Progress Generator Package, Network Package.”
