IP Packet eXchange - IPX

IP Packet eXchange and the Dialogic Global Multimedia Exchange (GMX) Solution Architecture

An IP Packet eXchange (IPX) is a private managed network, defined by the GSMA, over which service providers can offer network connectivity and service interworking on a commercial and competitive basis between not only mobile operators, but also fixed and converged service providers, cloud operators and application service providers. 

The IPX is built upon the key concepts of openness, service quality, support for cascaded charging models and efficient connectivity.  Implementing an IPX compliant architecture can open up revenue generating opportunities for service providers already experienced with interworking NGN and IMS based services.

Dialogic has helped service providers implement IPX networks with a comprehensive offering referred to as the Dialogic® Global Multimedia eXchange, or GMX. The GMX is a solution architecture applicable to service providers building a GSMA IPX compliant network, as well as service providers building a common IP backbone for their own networks. Benefits provided by the GMX include:

  • The ability to interconnect heterogeneous networks where there are different generational technologies involved
  • The ability to seamlessly connect multiple IP networks that use variants of the same control plane protocol
  • Capabilities for baseline IPX service support
  • Enablement of enable service providers to offer other value added services without conflicting with the operation of the standardized IPX services.

GMX Intelligent Session and Service Interworking and Routing
The GMX uses the Dialogic® ControlSwitch™ System along with Dialogic® BorderNet™ Session Border Controllers (SBCs) to provide a GSMA IR.34 compliant platform that supports not only the service aware transit connectivity model, but also the IPX service hubbing connectivity model to interwork SIP, SIP-I, H.323 along with 40 plus variants of SS7 for multilateral or bilateral applications. Integration with Least Cost Routing engines, Local Number Portability (LNP) and ENUM databases, along with an extensive list of routable parameters, enable the GMX to support real-time global and local routing and security policies. Providing an exceptional user experience is made easier through end-to-end performance visibility on services delivered across the distributed ControlSwitch System and BorderNet SBCs infrastructure.   For more details, go to the ControlSwitch System and BorderNet SBC family product pages.

Value Added Services
It’s easy to add value added services such as video collaboration support, conferencing, high definition audio and cloud based transcoding services to the GMX with Dialogic® Vision™ 1000 Gateways and Dialogic® BorderNet™2020 Session Border Controllers.  GMX operators can offer differentiated services to help improve top line revenue growth such as IP and circuit switched video interworking, HD Voice, and video and audio media transcoding as a service.


Cost Effective Transport of IP Services
The GMX operates in a distributed fashion to enable service providers to establish points of presence near critical traffic ingress and egress points. Dialogic® BorderNet™ Session Border Controllers implemented in a distributed architecture help reduce network latency and transport costs for geographically local traffic and Dialogic® I-Gate® 4000 Media Gateways provide bandwidth optimization for IP voice, allowing for core bandwidth requirements to be reduced by a factor of up to 10-to-1 without compromising on voice quality.
