Description
l

It is both a small capacity VoIP Gateway and Signaling

Converter

Softswitch for small capacity Next Generation Network

SS7 interconnection solution

Networks
VoIP networks:
SIP,H.323

Fixed networks:
SS7,ISDN, R2,
R1.5

Building blocks
l

It starts with a 3U dimension rack-chase

You have the mandatory cards (source and processor)

on the back-side of the rack

You add a VoIP card on the back-side of Topex Qutex rack

On the front side you place the 2E1 card

All the cards are hot-pluggable no need for restart when replacing

Card components
The features of the cards are:
l

2E1 cards with signaling:

l ISDN;
l SS7;
l R1;
l R2.

VoIP cards with signaling:

l SIP;
l H323.

VoIP cards
l

Topex Qutex can perform both SIPv2 and H323v4 signaling

VoIP cards scale 8/16/30/60 RTP channels

Topex Qutex can perform transcoding functions

Its DSP speak G.711 A and law, G.723 and G.729

Topex Qutex can transmit T.38 Fax over IP

Topex fixed-line cards

ISDN-PRI and ISDN-BRI signaling QSIG, DSS1, Q.931

SS7 signaling MTP1, MTP2, MTP3 and ISUP

CAS R2, CAS R1.5, CAS DTMF

Custom signaling for special applications

Administration

Windows based GUI

CLI Linux SSH console

Configuration in real-time modifications happen as we speak

Distant VoIP
network

IP connection

It can be Step One to a Next Generation Network migration

Can address both CLASS4 and CLASS5 applications

It controls other VoIP gateways

Signaling Converter
SS7 signaling

ISDN signaling

R2,R1.5 or
custom
signaling

PSTN networks use various type of signaling

Topex Qutex can convert one type of signaling to other types

Conclusions

Address a wide range of applications

Advanced diagnosis program that monitors the system operation

allowing the remote operation

Well fitted solution for small-size VoIP carriers
