The Cirpack Local Exchange Node (LEN) from Thomson is a compact, powerful and cost effective solution for primary line local loop telephony operators. Including Cirpack flexible routing and SS7 features, the “one-box-does-it-all” approach allows carriers to benefit from Cirpack’experience with no compromise on availability and optimized footprint. From TDM to NGN to IMS The Cirpack platform is a unique softswitch and gateway solution designed to replicate the features of legacy voice switches. It enables existing TDM telephony services and equipment to be retained in Next Generation Networks (NGN), allowing service providers to expand their legacy PSTN while simultaneously delivering VoIP services and starting a migration to IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architectures. Easily launch a successful Voice offer The Cirpack LEN is a feature-rich solution for residential subscribers (Call Forward, Call Waiting, Do not Disturb…) and IP Centrex services (Call Supervision, Transfer, Filtering, Hunting Groups…) for the enterprise market. Up to 10,000 subscribers can benefit from these value-added services. Primary line voice services over any legacy or broadband local loop are natively supported. allow complex transit infrastructures to be deployed using both TDM and IP trunking. Rely on Thomson expertise The Cirpack LEN offers the same service portfolio as the Cirpack softswitch platform that is currently used in largest VoIP deployments in Europe. It has demonstrated carrier-grade reliability, delivering primary line telephony services across very large and complex infrastructures. Powerful Trunking Relying on embedded Cirpack media and signalling gateways, the Cirpack LEN enables seamless inter working between the operator’s IP infrastructure and the PSTN.

The LEN is compatible with SIP and MGCP protocols to deliver primary line telephony services over broadband infrastructures of any kind and can deliver all POTS and ISDN services over v5.2 access networks and is also compatible with SIP. In addition, the Cirpack HVS supports innovative fixedmobile convergence features for both residential and business applications. includes SIP Access Controller - our Access Session Border Controller (SBC) solution - to control SIP registering and secure access to the core network, while the Message Waiting Indication (MWI) application ensures that the user is notified when they have a new message on their voicemail. Full redundancy of every element is achieved through a cluster architecture of active/ standby servers. The operator can provision up 10,000 residential users and 2,500 IP Centrex on SIP, MGCP, ISDN or V5.2 access. Managed by the Class-4 software, two PTG (Public Telephony Gateway) media gateways, each with 16 E1 interfaces, For SIP deployments, the Cirpack LEN are included. The PTGs supplied are interface boards specially designed for IBM BladeCenters. Embedded DSP mezzanine are available for media processing (tones, announcements, echo cancellation, compression). Operators can upgrade the LEN to the large model configuration version of the Cirpack platform when further subscriber capacity is required. This platform can handle several million call attempts per second (BHCA) and up to 264,000 residential subscribers, meeting operators’ demands for large and scalable voice infrastructures.

The LEN’s portability solution can manage up to 750,000 entries. Larger configurations can be supported with an additional server. To control H.248 MSAN (Multi-Service Access Node), the H.248 signalling software can be embedded in the LEN. Furthermore, for IN (Intelligent Networks) services and GMSC functions, INAP and MAP protocols are also part of Cirpack offer. Eventually, additionally to SIP and ISUP, R2 protocol can be added for interconnections. All these protocols can be activated through additional licenses. Media Proxy The Cirpack Media Proxy is a network access and border product used to route RTP traffic between an operator’s network and other networks. It solves topology hiding, NAT (Network Address Translation), and firewall issues. If needed, in addition to the LEN, standalone media proxies can also be supplied. Embedded Media Services Cirpack gateways from Thomson offer much-needed DSP power for media stream handling: multiparty voice conferencing, fax transmission over IP, multilingual network announcements, customized ring-back tones, and media replication for lawful intercept as required for primary line services using VoIP technology. A spare slot is available on PTG to host additional DSP resources for these applications, depending on operator’s design. VoiceMail, Prepaid, Personalized Ring Back Tones, IVR For this type of value-added services, Thomson also offers high-performance solutions fully interoperable with the LEN package. product data sheet SPECIFICATIONS LEN Hardware for Softswitch and Database (and SIP Access Controller and MWI in the case of SIP) • Cluster of IBM eServer within an IBM BladeCenter T enabling “Power-onDemand” by just adding more Intel CPU • Redundant servers with redundant CPU, hot swapable, and redundant hard drives • Carrier-grade shelf with redundant back plane, hot swap, redundant power, cooling, GigEN switches, and management modules • 105-250V AC, 48V DC, 1300W Media Gateway Boards • PTG: Designed to fit inside the IBM BladeCenter T.
