The Alcatel-Lucent 5060 Media Gateway Controller-10 (MGC-10) provides the network control and signaling
functionalities for Class 4 or trunk services in next-generation networks (NGNs), evolving fixed circuit-based
voice services to packet-based services. The 5060 MGC-10 controls the media gateways (MGWs) that convert
bearer traffic between Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) networks.

The 5060 MGC-10 offers a future-safe
platform to telecommunications service
providers willing to transform their
core networks toward an all-IP evolu-
tion. The 5060 MGC-10 provides
multiple functions on a single plat-
form, offering high capacity, low
footprint, low power consumption,
lower inventory costs, high flexibility
and scalability.
The 5060 MGC-10 is based on the
Advanced Telecommunications
Computing Architecture (ATCA ®)
platform, the selected technology with Linux Operating System (OS)
for Alcatel-Lucent common platforms,
offering cost efficiencies across all
supported telecommunications
functions, while simplifying main­
tenance and supply chain. The 5060
MGC-10 addresses the NGN Class 4
market segment (see Figure 1), and
serves as the media gateway control
function (MGCF) in the transformation-
to-IP-network market segment (see
Figure 2), together with the upcoming
ATCA-based Alcatel-Lucent 5060 IP
Call Server (ICS).
The 5060 MGC-10 evolves from the
existing Alcatel-Lucent 5020 MGC-10.
The 5060 MGC-10 offers carrier-grade
availability, scalability and redundancy,
while interworking with different
types of Trunking Gateways (TGWs)
and offering service providers superior
flexibility and cost efficiencies.
