The new options will be available during the first half of 2022 once joint development and testing of the overall solution is complete.  “As operators upgrade and modernize their networks, reliable media gateways play an important role in interconnecting their networks with other operators and subscribers,” said Alan Percy, CMO at TelcoBridges.  “Interoperability certification with Metaswitch is an important milestone for TelcoBridges, allowing us to supply gateways that work seamlessly with in-network Metaswitch call control.” TelcoBridges “Tmedia for Metaswitch Networks” represents a scalable offering for low and high-capacity solutions, ideally suited for existing and new Metaswitch CFS networks requiring connectivity to SS7 networks, TDM interconnect, subscriber DS1, DS3, and STM1 interfaces. “The telecommunications industry is shifting investments to software-based solutions and away from specialized hardware,” said Joe Weeden, VP of Voice Core infrastructure at Metaswitch.  “Despite this industry shift, there is still a need for TDM in many networks.  We are delighted to be certifying TelcoBridges to provide another media gateway option with proven interoperation with the Metaswitch Call Feature Server product family and integrated with the always-on diagnostic capability provided by our MetaView Service Assurance Server.” TelcoBridges Tmedia™ family of VoIP media gateways are a highly reliable solution for telephony service providers, interconnecting legacy TDM and modern VoIP networks.  Divided into three product series (TMG800™, TMG3200™ and TMG7800™), Tmedia provides a VoIP gateway solution to meet the needs of Carriers, CLECs, ILECs, ICX, Operators, MVNOs, MVNEs, and providers worldwide.
