VoIP equipment maker General Bandwidth today unveiled an Emergency Services Module (ESM) for its PacketCable-qualified G6 Universal Media Gateway. The addition helps cable operators maintain local and emergency services when they lose communications with their regional softswitches.
“By integrating support for maintaining emergency and local services within our G6 platform, cable operators can now provide the same level of service reliability their customers have come to expect when being served by traditional analog telephone lines,” says Charles Vogt, president and CEO of General Bandwidth.
The G6 Universal MG works with a number of softswitches using standards-based interfaces and includes support for CALEA, E911 and security.
