The Alcatel-Lucent Signaling Gateway (SG) provides IP interconnectivity, circuit concentration and local routing.
With its SIGTRAN-compliant M2UA, M2PA, M3UA and SUA protocols, the 5073 SG provides a full-fledged
solution for signaling gateway requirements, connecting SS7 networks to next-generation networks (NGNs).
The 5073 SG provides signaling gateway functions for mobile and fixed network operators migrating to 3G
or NGN technology. It bridges connections between Signaling Transfer Points (STPs), switches, softswitches,
databases and other next-generation signaling applications, and legacy circuit switched signaling architectures.
By providing a compact, cost-effective solution for concentrating SS7 traffic for backhaul over an IP network,
the 5073 SG reduces the recurring expense of leased T1 or E1 lines.
