The Dialogic® Vision™ CX Video Gateway is a carrier-ready video gateway that provides the functionality to connect SIP-based video and multimedia services to both voice-only and 3G-324M-enabled mobile devices. The ability of the Vision CX Video Gateway to simultaneously support video and voice-only calls simplifies the routing and switch logic needed to support both video and voice services, and its integrated ISDN and SS7/ISUP signaling enables efficient integration into carrier network environments. 

The role of the Vision CX Video Gateway in carrier environments is to connect voice and video endpoints to SIP-based multimedia platforms and services. In addition to its integrated a PSTN-SIP audio and video gateway, the Vision CX Video Gateway provides optional ISDN signaling services, making it suitable for a variety of network types, including IP, PSTN, 3G-324M, and IMS networks. On the media side, the gateway can support an equally broad set of options, including SIP-based video applications, speech, and multimedia services, as well as emerging 3G-324M video solutions.

One Gateway for Voice-Only and Video Services

The Vision CX Video Gateway can simultaneously support voice-only calls and 3G-324M video calls, and it can provide only the audio portion of a video call to a non-video enabled endpoint.  This enables application developers, OEMs and system integrators to quickly develop and deploy rich multimedia solutions without complex routing requirements and allows the gateway to interwork with both 2G and 3G mobile networks and endpoints

The Vision CX Video Gateway also enables a higher quality 3G video experience through advanced standards in mobile video technology.  The gateway supports H.264 for higher quality video as well as industry-standard fast call setup procedures such as MONA, WNSRP, and Packed245.

SS7 Signaling for the Carrier Network

The Vision CX Video Gateway is ready for deployment in the carrier environment, with an efficient and scalable SS7 network interface that supports up to 5000 ports per SS7 point code.  The Vision CX Video Gateway also provides 1+1 fault tolerant SS7/ISUP support and other redundancy and availability features for reliability.
