The Alcatel-Lucent 7549 Media Gateway (MGW) forms an integral part of the Alcatel-Lucent Mobile NGN 
Solution, delivering a dramatically simplified architecture as well as seamlessly evolving to an IP Multimedia 
Subsystem (IMS). A high-density, multiservice media gateway with voice and data-bearer interfaces, including 
TDM, IP and ATM, the Alcatel-Lucent 7549 MGW is capable of performing any-to-any switching, including 
native TDM-to-TDM, native packet-to-packet and TDM-to-packet. 
Features
• Purpose-built, high-capacity, multi-
fabric	media	gateway	for	mobile	
service	providers	
• Innovative generation of gateway tech-
nology	with	integrated	media	server,	
integrated	signaling	gateway	(iSGW)	
and	3GPP
†
InterWorking Function (iIWF)
• M3UA-based iSGW card performs
reliable	SS7-to-IP	interworking	SIG-
TRAN	as	well	as	limited	SS7-to-SS7	
functionality	STP
• Support for multiple interfaces with
ATM, TDM and IP
• Extensive set of GSM/UMTS and IMS
features,	CODECs	and	interfaces,	in-
cluding	IPBCP,	DTMF,	congerencing,	
tones,	annoucements,	FRO	and	TrFO,	
and	VQEs
• Integrated Wireless Element Manager
(WEM)	in	the	Alcatel-Lucent	5060	
Wireless	Call	Server	(WCS)	manages	
both	the	Alcatel-Lucent	5060	WCS	
and	Alcatel-Lucent	7549	MGW
• Highly reliable MGW based on field-
proven software

Benefits
• Reduced CAPEX and time to market
through	modular,	distributed	archi-
tecture,	offering	efficient	rollouts	
• High-capacity media gateway with
small	footprint,	dramatically	reducing	
real	estate	requirements
• Integrated features reduce network
elements	and	simplify	network		
management	
• iSGW card provides built-in, cost-
effective	SGW	capability	for	both	
TDM	and	IP	networks
• Latest technology voice-server card
with	integrated	digital	signal	proces-
sing,	echo	cancellation	and	media	
processing	resources
• iIWF resides on existing card, avoid-
ing	a	specialized	chassis	or	card	
that	increases	footprint	or	dimin-
ishes	capacity	
• Seamless migration from 2G to 3G
and IMS
• Media optimization and transcoder-
free	capabilities	ensure	high	voice	
quality	
• Ease of integration into existing
networks
• Field-proven MGW reduces network
outages and operating costs
