Introduction Different telecom networks offer advantages in different aspects. Today's businesses expect the specific benefits from each of these networks. The ISDN and GSM are two such omni-present networks. Most of the establishments have access to both these networks and need to bridge and interconnect them. This allows them to dynamically select one of the networks on per-call basis for obvious benefits of cost and quality of service (QoS).

Matrix SIMADO GBR is one such gateway equipment offering interfaces for four GSM and two ISDN BRI ports. It can be used with any brand of existing PBX or even in a stand-alone mode. SIMADO GBR supports flexible and intelligent Least Cost Routing (LCR) options providing significant cost savings and round-the-clock connectivity.

Matrix SIMADO GBR is a gateway to interface GSM and ISDN BRI networks. On the GSM side, it supports 2G Quad-Band operation and 3G Tri-Band operation, allowing it to work with any GSM/3G network. The ISDN BRI port supports both TE and NT modes. Incoming calls on GSM ports can be routed on BRI TE or BRI NT and GSM ports. Outgoing calls from NT are routed either on GSM ports or on BRI TE ports depending on the least cost routing logic. It can handle calls on all the ports simultaneously allowing full traffic on all the ports.

Existing PBX users can avail the benefit of the low-tariff of GSM networks by connecting SIMADO GBR with the PBX without changing their existing infrastructure. The users continue to make and receive calls without worrying on which network their calls are routed. Matrix SIMADO GBR routes the calls either on ISDN or GSM network depending on the dialed destination numbers and on the type of routing option selected by the users. In addition, SIMADO GBR can also be used without a PBX in stand-alone mode by connecting ISDN terminals directly on the NT port.

Intelligent and flexible routing is the forte of the SIMADO GBR. Various Least Cost Routing (LCR) schemes are offered. The elaborate routing algorithm encompasses different attributes like Port, Calling Number, Called Number and Time. It selects the most cost-effective route for a given number at specified time. In addition, it allows the flexibility of reserving ports for important users. Numbers received from calling network are converted by Automatic Number Translation (ANT) to match with the destination network.
