 In the next generation network based on Softswitch
technology, ZXMSG 9000 can be used as trunk gateway
(TG), signaling gateway (SG) ,access gateway (AG) and
media resource server (MRS). It can also act as an
integrated gateway (TG/SG/AG/MRS) by deploying
different circuit boards on the same equipment.
